History of Air Assault

Overview

Air Assault is a Forsaken-era (Season 5) weapon trait. The weapon gains more Airborne Effectiveness (AE) as the player's health drops. It uses the same trigger conditions as Eye of the Storm. The baseline AE varies by archetype, so the total depends on the weapon.

It matters most for weapons that are fired while airborne, where AE reduces accuracy penalties and bullet bending.

History

• 4.1.5 (19 July 2022): Added a static +10 AE at all times. Total AE at low health is 70, per the Bungie 4.1.5 patch notes.
