Lord of Wolves
- Decreased starting ammo in PvP from 15 to 10 (PvE unchanged).

- Increased damage in PvE by 20% to compensate.
Dead Man's Tale
- Changed Cranial Spike's effects:
- Cranial Spike no longer buffs damage vs. players, instead it grants increased reload, aim assist, and range per stack.
- It still grants additional damage vs. PvE combatants.
- Upon reaching max stacks of Cranial Spike, the catalyst will now increase hip-fire RPM by 50 (i.e., it will fire at 180 RPM) but will deal reduced damage per bullet (20% decrease).
Collective Obligation
- Increased Void Leech timer to 15 seconds in PvE activities.
- PVP remains at 10 seconds.
- Removed the cooldown.
- Added a 20% damage bonus against PvE combatants only while Void Leech is active.
- Takes less hits to fully charge Void Leech.
- Kills against debuffed targets instantly charge Void Leech.
- Void Leech is also instantly charged when your character is affected by Void debuffs.
- Does not work if hitting yourself with your own Suppressor Grenade.
- Fixed a bug where Umbral Sustenance was activating with non-Void overshields.
These are all the weapons in Destiny 2 that are getting reworked in Season 18.
