Desert Perpetual nerfs
In a recent tweet, Bungie announced plans to lower the difficulty of the Desert Perpetual raid in Destiny 2 after a wave of player complaints. Since the release of the Edge of Fate update, many players have found the raid too hard, with strong enemies and long fights slowing progress and fun. These updates are currently being tested for Destiny 2 Update 9.0.0.5. There’s no set release date yet.
The developers have listened to the feedback and announced key changes:
- Enemy Power down by 10
All enemies in the raid will now be 10 Power lower. This means they will do less damage, and players can deal more damage in return. - Triumph requirements reduced
The “Combined Mastery” triumph is also being simplified. Instead of requiring five completions of each encounter with three active feats, now only one run at base difficulty is needed. This one run will already give better gear, and adding more feats will still help players reach higher reward tiers. - Raid feat scaling lowered
The Cutthroat Combat Raid Feat will also be easier. Instead of being +40 Power above players, it will now be +30.
Bungie also confirmed that similar difficulty reductions are planned for older raids and dungeons, with enemies in all legacy content dropping by 10 Power.
