After closely observing the current behavior in the live game, we have enough information to dial this in more precisely, and plan to reduce the weapon swap delay to about one second shortly after Season 21's launch later this month.
Due to the networking differences across players and environments, we couldn't guarantee the shortest possible delay would address the exploit.
We would like to give some extra context on the weapon swap delay change. The shotgun exploit wasn't the only issue we were seeing and to safely fix the underlying problem we needed to introduce a global firing delay when swapping weapons via the inventory screen.

Seeing some confusion around the super PVE damage resistance buff that applies to Well of Radiance and Ward of Dawn, so wanted to offer a quick clarification. This change only affects damage resistance during those two Supers' cast animations.
@destiny_thememe Yes, the change also applies to self-damage, so fewer misadventures from a knife throw are expected.
We've got quite a few changes that we think you all will really enjoy. Check out what's new with Abilities when Season of the Deep arrives on May 23 ⤵️

We're excited for Guardian Games to kick off next week but had one small correction: the original text hinted that depositing Medallions would level up crafted weapons. This is incorrect but there will be a weapon level progression buff active during the event.

@kildozer666 @BungieHelp Hey! Just wanted to drop a small note that the team is investigating the increase in these errors. We have an initial update via @BungieHelp and will be able to share more when the investigation is further along.
@BungieHelp: We're aware of Destiny 2 players experiencing error codes including, but not limited to, CHICKEN, PLUM & WEASEL errors acro…
11. Hunter armor Thunderhead Grips can now correctly have its appearance unlocked with synthweave.
10. Fall damage is now nonlethal to players. Previously, only collision damage was nonlethal.🛑
9. Crafting progress now comes from the key chest and not the base chest.
10. Warlock Exotic Swarmers will now correctly create Threadlings when a Tangle is thrown and a player has Shackle grenade equipped. 🧵
6. Fixed an issue where Fighting Lion was incorrectly benefitting from the Void Holster mod.
7. The Harsh Language shotgun now correctly activates Void artifact perks.
8. Fixed an issue where certain Gambit weapons were not contributing to the Dark Age Arsenal Triumph. 🧵
4. Players no longer need to have the Strand subclass equipped to gain Unraveling Rounds for their Strand weapons from the Allied Unraveling perk.
5. Heavy weapons will more consistently gain increased ammo capacity. 🧵
3. Reduced Super gains from Ashes to Assets when getting a grapple melee kill after grappling to a grapple point (and thus not expending any grenade energy) by 50%. Previously, this varied from 1% to 5% depending on the target tier, with this change, that's now: 0.5% to 2.5%. 🧵
Cont'd: When Firepower and Heavy Handed are equipped, players will only spawn one Orb of Power, not two, when killing an enemy with a grapple melee.
2. Grenade Kickstart will no longer activate when grappling to a grapple point (and thus not expending any grenade energy). 🧵
Morning, Guardians! We missed some patch notes this week.
Here's an update 🧵
1. When Ashes to Assets and Hands On are equipped, players will only receive Super energy from one of the mods, not both.
