Other members ofBungiecontributed to its design and creation, of course, but Nanni was at the forefront.
And I’m like, yes like.
I don’t know anything else.
like let me make that."
For Warlocks, random Void nonsense is still working just fine for me.
The strange firing pattern of Slayer’s Fang brings a few tricks to the table.
Lore heads may remember that Exotic’s entry: “You will dream of teeth and nothing else.”
It’s no coincidence that Slayer’s Fang reads: “Fear neither dreams nor teeth.”
“It’s an homage back to D1 and we were able to tie that in.
It turns out it has more secrets up its sleeve.
“It’s tuned to be a little bit better against Fallen and Scorn,” Nanni says.
“And I think that synergy is very valid.
There’s definitely different use cases there.
We don’t want to ever invalidate someone’s choice.
Conditional Finality is your favorite weapon?
But I think there’s some enticing opportunities elsewhere for you to apply to this gun.”
Slayer’s Fang also faced the immense challenge of following up Choir of One as a Void special Exotic.
“So I think it will live comfortably next to it.
They’re so different … and I love that there are different builds that they support.”
All that being said, I also asked about Bungie’s approach to power budget with new Exotics.
When is it time to drop a meta-breaker?
“You know, we like to have our seasonal themes and our seasonal meta.
A lot of that’s highlighted in the Artifact.
For instance, this season, we had a huge Stasis push, right?
And so, one of the things we did was, Salvation’s Grip got a catalyst.
It’s time, Stasis season, let’s get Salvation’s Grip out there.
So I think it depends a lot on what our direction is at the time.
We may try and match that.
A lot of synergy and teamwork goes into deciding, well, is the meta stale?
It’s really just a lot of collaboration, monitoring what’s going on in the game.
All of us in sandbox play the game a lot.”
