Destiny 2 update 7.1.0.1 patch notes nerf Rahool’s Exotic armor focusing

Bungie’s latest Destiny 2 patch notes makes it seem as if they want to make looting even more difficult than it already is for players. According to one of the changes they’ve made with this latest round, the Exotic armor focused at Rahool will now have similar stats to dropped Exotic armor. This means that instead of getting equipment with high stat rolls, you may be acquiring pieces that aren’t worth equipping at all.

Fortunately, your best Hunter build still shouldn’t be affected by this change as the Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk remains untouched. However, this update will inevitably decrease the number of players making use of Rahool’s new offering. Fortunately, it isn’t all bad news as the developers have also provided a few other fixes with this latest patch, which you can check out below.
