The one they didn't give a title too.
S17 Sandbox Clarifications
Flinch Resistance
- "Flinch resistance directly scales the angle your aim moves by when you take damage, so if you have 60% flinch resistance and you would normally be flinched 10 degrees, you would now be flinched 4 degrees."
- Scalar means multiplier
Common Flinch Resistest Sources
- No Distractions: 0.65x
- Suros Synergy: 0.8x
- 1x Unflinching Armor Mod: 0.75x
- 2x Unflinching Armor Mod: 0.7x (i.e., this value is used instead of multiplying two unflinching mod values together)
- Rally Barricade: 0.5x
- 10 Resilience: 0.9x
- 100 Stability on an Auto Rifle: 0.75x
- 100 Stability on a Sniper Rifle: 0.9x
Airborne Effectiveness
- Airbourne can not go below 0
- Accuracy perks like Opening Shot will feel less impactful in the air
- When airborne you basically have separate aim assist cones for the crit vs the body
- When airborne, magnetism and friction are halfed, and then the aim assist airborne penalty is added
Scavenger Perks
- Special and Heavy perks are turned off in PVP
- Double primary isn't the goal, but should be viable
- This is kinda a last shot at limiting Special use in PVP
- Since they are disabled, looking at future mods to compete for Leg armor
Other
- Lightweight pulse buff affects the BXR!!!
- Retraced path is getting Trace buff
- Slugs are effected by the damage fall off changes and the airborne accuracy changes
- All SMGs have improved damage falloff
- 14 zoom is not the default for all SMGs, just the ones mentioned
- Full Auto setting not coming till S19, so use the mod still
- Sidearms were niche enough that Bungie left them alone
- Summoner going away so quickly to make room for a second new weapon
- Bungie hint's here about Trace and MG champion mods
Exotics
- Vex treated as auto rifle for airborne effectiveness
- Wavesplitter isn't changing it's function
- Riskrunner and Osteo zoom staying at 13
- Lumina is affected by the damage reduction
- Le Monarque is poison now, but NOT a weapon of sorrow
- Arby and Lorentz are being handled separately and Bungie is watching them going forward
- Devil's Ruin and Fighting Lion not a concern with the Special ammo reductions
- Eyes of Tomorrow buff is 1.3x against bosses and champions
Crafting
- In S17, you can get gold borders by having "an enhanced intrinsic perk and two enhanced trait perks"
- Crafted exotics will need a catalyst
