Revenant Act 2 in Destiny 2 has introduced a fair share of new artifact perks, and some of them can be amazing in terms of the current meta.
There can be no question marks over just how good Grenade Launchers currently feel on the meta. They have always had a strong spot, but the upcoming perks will make some of them a lot more powerful. Interestingly, you’ll also get an Exotic launcher from the current pass, and combining them with the new artifact perks is only going to make it and all other launchers even better.
Complete list of new Revenant Act 2 Artifact Perks in Destiny 2
First, let’s take a look at all the new perks that are going to be part of the game very soon.
| Perk Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Arc Compounding | Arc Sources will deal increased damage to all Blinded targets. |
| Authorized Mods, Melee | All armor mods that will affect your mele abilities will have significantly discounted armor energy costs. |
| Curative Orbs | An Orb of Power is created when a Super ability breaks the enemy’s Elemental shield or the shied of an enemy Guardian. |
| Emergency Flare | An Orb of Power is created when a Super ability breaks the enemy’s Elemental shield or the shield of an enemy Guardian. |
| The Thick of It | When surrounded by enemies, Rapid final blows will grant Armor Charge. |
The Alethonym, once unlocked, will be perfect with these perks, but you can also take a look at Ex Diris. Its potential rise in the current meta largely has to do with the perks that will be released as part of Act 2.
Putting aside the weapon changes that have been made to Ex Diris, the upcoming perks become a natural fit for this launcher. For starters, it will Blind enemies, which makes it a great choice for Arc Compounding. While the hits will blind the enemies, they will then get increased damage from Arc sources.
But even if you didn’t manage to obtain this launcher from Season of the Witch or can’t purchase it from Monument to Lost Lights, the upcoming perks will fit a lot of other weapons as well. You’ll be able to access Revenant Act 2 on November 19, 2024.
