Destiny 2’s update 7.2.5 has come, and with it players can expect changes to a half a dozen Exotic armors. The changes to Exotics with patch 7.2.5 seem to, sadly, be a grab bag of bug fixes and nerfs. For example, Antaeus Ward now only works when Titan’s class ability is off cooldown and no longer grants an improved slide. While Young Ahamkara’s Spine’s Tripmine Grenade HP buff is lowered to 70 from 100, with damage resistance removed. Beyond those disappointing nerfs, Bungie actually revealed some Exotic armor buffs in-game that are coming in the next Season but aren’t active just yet. So, let’s explore the 6 Exotic armors getting buffed in Destiny 2’s 23rd Season.
Karnstein Armlets
Starting things off with the only Warlock on the list are gauntlets that used to increase Mobility and Resilience when melee attacking. When a Warlock achieved a melee kill, the gauntlets would then “greatly restore health.” Season 23 changes all that to more closely align with what Solar 3.0 brought to the table.
