History of Ophidian Aspect

Ophidian Aspect is an Exotic gauntlet piece for Warlocks, introduced in Season 2.

Overview

The intrinsic perk, Cobra Totemic, improves weapon ready and reload speed and provides a small airborne-effectiveness benefit. Bungie's Season 21 tuning in May 2023 removed Ophidian Aspect's extended melee range. The item tooltip still lists extended melee range.
