Radiant Buff Does Not Grant Anti-Barrier Effect to Weapons

I would like to report a possible bug where the Radiant buff does not seem to grant Anti-Barrier functionality to weapons. Steps to reproduce: 1. Activate Radiant through any available source, such as melee, fragments, abilities, or other effects. 2. Confirm that the Radiant buff is visible on the character. 3. Attack a Barrier Champion with a regular weapon. 4. Wait for the Barrier Champion to raise its shield. 5. Try to break the Barrier Champion shield while Radiant is active. Actual result: Even while Radiant is active, the weapon does not appear to gain Anti-Barrier functionality. It cannot pierce or break the Barrier Champion shield. Expected result: According to the Radiant effect, weapons should gain Anti-Barrier capability while the player is Radiant and should be able to interact with Barrier Champion shields. Additional notes: This affects builds that rely on Radiant as an Anti-Barrier option, especially when not using an Artifact Anti-Barrier mod or an intrinsic Anti-Barrier weapon. Please confirm whether this is an intended mechanic change, a description issue, or a current bug.

    You could have saved yourself a lot of time by reading "Dev Insights - Abilities & Armor Preview". It's intended behaviour.

  • With the moment of triumphs update, bungie made the change that radiant and destabilizing rounds don’t give weapons the piercing effect due to certain archetypes having now having the piercing effect by default. As a result of these changes they gave radiant and destabilizing rounds extra damage to champions
