Rocket Launchers inside of Destiny 2 haven’t always been the go to option for many players, especially in recent seasons thanks to swords like Falling Guillotine and The Lament simply deleting enemies so efficiently. However, Bungie sought to fix the balance inside of Season of the Chosen, giving rocket launchers a massive 30% damage buff at the start of the season.
