After some serious trouble with the Piercing Sidearm artifact mod, Bungie has taken efforts to fix the issue. Check out the latest patch notes here.
As Destiny 2 continues through its latest and arguably biggest era yet in The Witch Queen expansion, so too are large parts of the game being reworked and balanced. Unfortunately, that also means unexpected things breaking that require some immediate attention. One of the latest big issues in Destiny 2 was affecting the Piercing Sidearm artifact mod, but after the application of Hotfix 4.1.0.4, the mod has been re-enabled and should be usable without issue again. Check out the full hotfix patch notes here.
Bungie released Destiny 2 Hotfix 4.1.0.4 and its accompanying patch notes on June 28, 2022. The big headliners here are the changes to the Piercing Sidearm mod, fixing it and allowing Bungie to re-enable the mod for use in the game. Previously, players were able to shoot right through certain defensive abilities and even some thin walls instead of just damaging them further. This is no longer the case. You’ll find the entirety of the Hotfix 4.1.0.4 notes detailing this and further fixes just below:
With the Piercing Sidearm artifact mod fixed up, players can once again use it. It may not be able to shoot through defensive abilities, equipment, and walls anymore, but those who utilized it in their builds should still likely be happy to have it back.
