Renewal Grasps and Loreley Splendor will be nerfed in Destiny 2 PvP 

Nearly two months after The Witch Queen's release, Destiny 2 has already seen a multitude of gameplay style tweaks surrounding new exotics. 

However, very few people have been making news in PvP lately for their ridiculous exploits in competitive Crucible matches.

Hunter's Renewal Grasps Gauntlet is known for generating damage resistance fields in a huge radius, while Loreley Splendor increases any damage done by sunspots. However, Bungie finally addressed this issue when Destiny 2 Community Manager dmg04 took to Twitter on April 11.

Exotic gear that Destiny 2 The Witch Queen will rage for PvP in the future

As mentioned earlier, Renewal Grasps and Loreley Splendor Helm are the two newest exotics in the game that do a lot of damage inside the Crucible. These two gears can be cultivated through Lost Sectors alone or obtained through Ikora after the Legendary campaign.

Both of these exotics maxed out some of the Stasis Hunters and Solar Titans' abilities, shifting the balance of teamfights. A recent tweet from Bungie confirmed the changes that will be brought to the game's sandbox in the future.

Regarding the upcoming changes, Destiny 2's Community Manager said:
The Armor team is monitoring PvP and investigating setting changes in Renewal Grasps. We hope to have more information later this season. Stay tuned for more.

After being asked about Titan's exotic Loreley Splendor Helmet, he said: "

The sunspot then further increases the damage done by the wearer,

According to Bungie's announcement, the change will only apply to PvP, as no game-breaking exploits have been reported in PvE. With additional information and official patch notes for the second episode of Season 16, everyone can wait for these geeks to arrive next season.
