Vesper’s Host Artifice Armor
Master difficulty ofVesper’s Hostwill have the chance to drop Artifice Armor following the October 22 patch. The term refers to armor that has access to an additional mod slot, providing further boosts to core stats such as Resilience, Discipline, and Intellect.
Rather than a buff, this is a feature that had intended to be present as soon as Master difficulty for Vesper’s Host became available but suffered a bug preventing it from dropping. Rather than disable Master entirely,Bungie opted to leave it openfor Guardians attempting to unlock the Unleashed title.
After discovering an issue that meantThe Last Wordwas doing more damage than intended in PvP and Gambit, Bungie disabled the Exotic shortly after Revenant was released on October 8. With Tuesday’s patch, the Hand Cannon will be reenabled for all activities, with a twist.
While the issue primarily affected competitive play due to the extremely quick TTK, Last Word’s damage was also increased in PvE. “You all loved the damage so much that we’ve kept it for PvE,” the studio confirmed.
