Titans in Destiny 2 will soon see a bunch of buffs to their abilities, bringing the experience of playing the beefy subclass a little more in line with the fantasy and making it more viable in endgame activities.
Bungie announced the balancing changes it’s making to Titans in its weekly This Week in Destiny blog, outlining a series of tweaks coming in October with the release of the game’s next content episode, Revenant. The big takeaway is that Bungie is hoping to make playing as a Titan–the tank-ish, slightly meatheaded of Destiny 2’s three character subclasses–feel a little more like the fantasy of playing a frontline fighter that tends to punch their way through the opposition.
That doesn’t necessarily mean making Titans stronger in a martial sense, however; instead, Bungie is making tweaks to different elements of the Titan build in other ways. The one that’ll affect players more clearly is making the Titan barricade ability now taunt enemies, drawing their fire away from teammates and toward the barrier itself.
