III. Optimizations & Adjustments
1. Combat & Balancing Adjustments
● [Weapon Balancing] We have made balancing adjustments to the following weapons' performance in Iron Bar and Shifting Gates, as well as the Iron Medley event starting this week, to give everyone a more fair combat experience. These changes will not affect the weapons' performance in other activities.
① Reduced Exotic Shotgun: Octant Riot Disperser's single-shot and volley damage.
② Reduced Exotic Sword: Partridge Sky's light-attack and charged heavy attack damage.
③ Reduced Exotic Linear Fusion Rifle: Royal Contravene's Combat Sights mode damage.
④ Reduced Exotic Auto Crossbow: Mahamayuri's damage.
● [Weapons] Reworked Exotic Machine Gun: Gallows' perk, changing its original Mythic perk "Polarized Rifling" to Exotic perk "Prosecution":
Original: This weapon gradually gains range the longer you stay in combat until it reaches no damage falloff. Resets upon exiting combat.
New: Landing final blows increases this weapon's rate of fire by 15% until the next reload. Additionally, each final blow landed with Void projectiles automatically reloads 10% of the magazine from reserves.
● [Weapons] Adjusted Exotic Submachine Gun: The Huckleberry:
① Mythic perk "Reincarnation" has been replaced with Exotic perk "Tex Fever":
Old: Final blows with this weapon grant it +15% damage bonus for 6s. Stacks 6x.
New: Final blows with this weapon grant it +15% damage bonus for 8s. Stacks 6x. Once this buff's duration ends, 1 stack will be lost every 2s. Landing final blows during this time will add stacks and refresh the timer.
② Adjusted the Catalyst Band 01 effect:
Old: Upgrades Reincarnation to its enhanced form.
New: The damage bonus gained from final blows is increased from 15% to 20%. Landing a final blow while stacks are decaying instantly restores stacks to the quantity they were at when the decay started.
● [Weapons] Improved the display of ammo reserves for stowed weapons on the weapon swap panel, changing it to Current Magazine's Rounds/Remaining Rounds to allow for better monitoring of auto-loading perks' numerical changes.
● [Weapons] Improved the hold stance for Exotic Pulse Rifle: Furies III while running, reducing the amount of screen space it takes up while in first-person perspective.
● [Characters] Slightly delayed the timing at which the black background disappears for all characters' finishers.

2. New Features & System Improvements
● [Exotic Weapons] When a teammate acquires an Exotic weapon in Strikes, Gauntlet: Blitz, Gauntlet: Onslaught, Shifting Gates, or Morgran's Hunt, a message will now display in the fireteam chat.
● [Packs] Improved the Pack management and furniture placement experience.
● [Store] Added a new monthly limited item to the Silver shop: Battle Pass Weapon Token. This currency can be exchanged for items in Store - Battle Pass - Exotic Shop.
● [Artifacts] Added an "Attribute Value" option to the Quick Add feature when batch dismantling artifacts.
● [Artifacts] Added options to auto-compensate or auto-exchange for missing artifacts when using a recommended loadout.
● [Reunion Day] Added the Ludwig Alpha fishing rod to the exchange shop.

IV. Fixed Issues
● [Weapons] Fixed an issue in which Auto-Loading Holster and its upgraded version would require switching weapons to take effect for the first time.
● [Characters] Fixed an issue in which borrowed Umeko's helmet would display incorrectly.
● [Calamity Ops] Fixed an issue in which moving too fast while a door was closing would cause Lightbearers to be unable to turn back.
● [Public Events] Fixed an issue in which knockback mechanics would cause incorrect positioning in Glimmer Heist.
● [Unstuck] The unstuck loading time has been changed to 20s.
 
That's all for the update details. Thanks for your patience! We will be continuing to collect your feedback and suggestions to keep improving the Destiny: Rising experience. May the Light be with you!
