Destiny 2 dev denies accusations that The Edge of Fate introduced 'stealth nerfs' after players identify missing changes in the expansion's massive changelog: 'We would be completely out of our minds if we thought we could slip something under the rug'

A new Fallen trooper. They fly now.

Destiny 2's latest expansion The Edge of Fate is already facing an uphill battle, launching with the lowest concurrent player counts for a Destiny 2 expansion ever, while the community rail against a raft of controversial mechanical changes detailed in some of the longest patch notes Bungie has ever produced. Now, it turns out that the aforementioned changelog was still not long enough, with Bungie apologising for missing out numerous adjustments that players have claimed are "stealth nerfs".

The community has drawn up several lists and reports of the alleged stealth nerfs (and, in some cases stealth buffs) on the Destiny 2 subreddit, including this one by user llIicit. Among these changes are some particularly dramatic adjustments to the Warlock class, including a major apparent nerf to the Touch of Flame, while user arixagorasosamos says Incinerator Snap builds are "gutted completely".
