Destiny 2is currently going through a grenade launcher meta with Episode Revenant’s Artifact perks offering several buffs for Grenade Launchers, which is understandable, considering the new Exotic from the current Season Pass is a grenade launcher. However, while now’s a great time to use the new Alethonym Exotic, it’s also a great time to use the Ex Diris Exotic grenade launcher, since it will be stronger than it’s ever been onceDestiny 2’s Episode Revenant Act two releases.
When it was first introduced, the Ex Diris arguably wasn’t that great of a weapon compared to some of thebest-in-slot Exotics inDestiny 2. However, with some of the recent Exotic weapon changes combined with the upcoming Artifact Perks, this weapon will soon be in its prime, so players may want to put this hidden gem on their builds throughout the remainder of Episode Revenant.

Not only does Episode Revenant’s Artifact perks make grenade launchersanti-Champion weapons inDestiny 2for the current Episode, but they also provide plenty of outright buffs for these weapons, making grenade launchers the current meta. Yet, while grenade launchers are already in a great spot, the upcoming second Act ofDestiny 2’s Episode Revenant will introduce even more Artifact perks that will buff grenade launchers even further.

Why Destiny 2’s Episode Revenant Act Two Is a Great Time to Use the Ex Diris Exotic Grenade Launcher

This weapon didn’t quite shift the meta when it was first introduced, although the current and upcoming Episode Revenant Artifact perks combined with some of therecent Exotic weapon changesto the Ex Diris will take this weapon to the next level.

Overall, these recent changes make the Ex Diris a much more versatile Exotic. Specifically, the new alternate way of spawning Loyal Moths finally makes the weapon viable to use against major enemies and bosses instead of strictly as an add-clear weapon, since previously the weapon required players to get kills to spawn Loyal Moths.
