Plunder Weapons
Exotic changes
With the introduction of the new season, a few exotics have received intrinsic perk changes and reworks.
Le Monarque
- Added intrinsic Overload to Poison Arrows.
Thunderlord
- Added intrinsic Overload
Malfeasance
- Added intrinsic Unstoppable to explosions
Wish Ender
- Added intrinsic Anti-Barrier
Legend of Acrius
- Catalyst now gives Trench Barrel
Legendary weapon changes
Finally, we’re getting some much-needed buffs to under-utilized weapon types. Namely, they have buffed: Scout Rifles, Heavy Grenade Launchers, High-Impact Auto Rifles, and Lightweight Bows.
Scout Rifles
- Increased damage to minor enemies in PvE by 10%
High-Impact ARs
- Increased stability by 6-12 depending on the weapon
Lightweight Bows
- Reduced base draw time by 5% (from 612ms to 580ms)
- Increased the “perfect draw” window (from .30s to .50s on the low end and from .55s to .80s on the high end)
Heavy Grenade Launchers
- Increased damage to Majors and above by ~10% (excluding Parasite)
The Heavy Grenade Launchers are currently bugged to deal 150% increased damage rather than the 10% we were supposed to receive initially, a great time to destroy some raid bosses before it’s fixed.
There are still more changes to look at and I highly encourage taking a look at TWAB from the 18th of August for a detailed list of all the changes.
New seasonal weapons
We received a plethora of new plunder weapons to play around with in the new season that are all based around stasis and Arc. Thankfully all the weapons are craftable so it’s very easy to get curated godrolls of every weapon.
I’ll name godrolls of all of the new seasonal plunder weapons or at least what I think will be the godrolls, based on experience and trying out some of the new rolls.

Conclusion
Finally, we have an Arc Linear Fusion that isn’t Tarantula. Really looking forward to using the Voltshot as it reminds me a lot of Riskrunner without the risk. Overall a great set of weapons to fill some of the gaps we’ve had for seasons.
