Bungie will give the Mountaintop grenade launcher some long-overdue balance changes in an upcoming Destiny 2 sandbox update. .

According to dmg, this update includes changes for Mountaintop that will "balance" but "not kill" the gun. .

Mountaintop has been exceedingly popular in all game modes ever since it was first released in season 5 as a pinnacle weapon, and it's only become more prevalent in recent seasons now that the quest to obtain it is considerably easier.

Despite its obvious strengths and peerless ease of use, Mountaintop has largely escaped balance patches.

It's hard to think of another weapon that's this strong, popular, and also enduring.

For comparison, the Recluse, another exceedingly powerful Crucible pinnacle weapon, was nerfed after a few seasons, and both it and Mountaintop are widely credited for the retirement of pinnacle weapons as a reward.

After such a long and tyrannical reign, it'll be interesting to see how Bungie nerfs Mountaintop.
