Players of Destiny 2 can expect numerous balance adjustments for the Episode Heresy in February, as confirmed by Bungie. In addition to the buffs not yet mentioned in their latest TWID, they’ve also announced a nerf for an overpowered weapon archetype that’s widely used. Although these changes appear promising on paper, Destiny 2 players are again urging Bungie to reconsider a previous nerf from last year that they find particularly frustrating.
Destiny 2 players plead with Bungie to revert Osteo Striga nerf
As a passionate Destiny 2 fan, I’m joining the chorus of players asking Bungie to reconsider the nerfs applied to the Osteo Striga. In a recent Reddit post by ERI-223, they humbly request that the developer “take away the cooldown on its poison activation.
Plz, Bungie, I beg you, reverse the osteo striga nerf

It appears that the recent change made by Bungie on “The Final Shape” involves a reduction in its power, or a “nerf.” Specifically, when you score a kill with “The Final Shape,” it now has a 4-second cooldown for the poison burst. However, this cooldown doesn’t affect the continuous poison damage it inflicts from sustained damage.
A year ago in June, there were criticisms that the nerf was too strong, making the weapon feel unpleasant. Players requested Bungie to reverse the nerf during The Final Shape, and these demands persisted even up until 2025.
Despite being adjusted for multiple months, many enthusiasts remain unsatisfied. One player commented that post-adjustment, the gun switched from their favorite to being discarded. Another user feels it’s disappointing to utilize now, stating that the adjustment wasn’t justified as Khostov was superior to the Osteo at the time of Final Shape’s launch.
Regrettably, even though many have vocally requested Bungie to reverse the changes (nerf), it seems extremely improbable at this point since quite some time has passed. Additionally, there’s no mention of it in the list of significant enhancements (mega buffs) planned for Episode Heresy.
