With the release of the Shadowkeep expansion in the Fall of 2019 , Bungie released a major overhaul to the Destiny 2 missions 2 armor system.

Warden's Law was the first iteration of the Heavy Burst archetype Hand Cannons, and is one of the best Hand Cannons in PvE. The Heavy Burst archetype is a super powerful weapon type that dominates at close to mid-ranges. The weapon feels almost like a Precision Frame Submachine Gun, but if it were focused exclusively on single-target damage. This allows the weapon to really dish out damage to smaller targets, making it feel like a Submamachine gun even in difficulties where actual Submachine guns strug
