Patch History[]
Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)
- Rebalance of Sentinel weapons
The Origin system never stops developing the most exotic and destructive weapons known to Tenno-kind, and the weapons mounted to our Sentinels are no exception. The gap between the top and the bottom has gotten wider than we would like to see, so please enjoy these changes bringing up some of the weaker weapons. Not all weapons will focus on damage, some will get new utility features instead.
