With the start of DESTINY 2 in season 15 we expected a lot of changes to weapons, exotics and mods. This expectation has become the publication of the latest reality this week in the bungie blog. Both PVE and PVP weapons changes are expected. So if it is the exotic grenade launcher anarchy or the dusty old fusion gun in your vault, the weapon meta in Destiny 2 will go through a massive change. Continue reading to see the changes that come on 24th August with the start of season 15.
