Key changes include: - **More resources** : Med Cabinets and Munitions Crates spawn more often on Perimeter, and starting ammo in MIDA, CyberAcme, and Arachne Sponsored Kits has been increased. - **UESC nerfs** : Most enemy health and boss shield HP have been slightly reduced, making fights less punishing while keeping combat engaging. - **Balanced approach** : Bungie emphasizes that they won’t overcorrect—the friction of UESC combat remains intentional. Fans are reacting positively, praising Bungie’s responsiveness: > “Bungie seems to be very reactive and I love it, hopefully they can keep this up.” The only notable downside for some players is the **disabling of Broken Wing on Outpost** , which has caused minor frustration but is generally understood as a temporary measure. Overall, the patch is seen as a solid mix of quality-of-life improvements and careful balance adjustments.
