Game developer Bungie has rolled out a new update to its popular video game "Destiny." The game's Patch 2.0 update has introduced a new perk that allows guns in the game to be more powerful. The patch has also brought major fixes and changes to the game, which include Armor, Quests, Bounties, Strikes and more, a report from Design & Trend said.
"Destiny's shotguns are getting nerfed once again. Fresh off of the 2.0 update which saw the weapon's damage and range capabilities get reduced, Bungie is once again tinkering with the weapon. Other changes to weapons include fixing an issue with the Black Spindle and an issue with rare sniper rifle scope upgrades," the report said.
