A little over a week after Destiny 2 players proved “Weightgate” was real, Bungie announced an upcoming patch and a way to apologize: They’re going to sell a bunch of divine weapons in the game .

You can read the detailed description of the problem in our detailed Weightgate analysisbut the crash course version is that Destiny 2 players began to suspect that certain weapon perk combos were falling much less than they should. Bungie insisted that there was no “intentional perk weighting” in Destiny 2’s code, but after extensive analysis – the kind only true nerds can provide – the community proved that something awesome was definitely happening. After its own internal investigation, Bungie confirmed that “an issue in the RNG perk pool” was indeed spoiling things.

A promised hotfix has been announced for tomorrow, November 5, and to thank everyone who helped track down the issue, Vesper’s Host Dungeon will be offering double rewards for completed encounters and activities from November 19 to December 3. “Both weapons and armor rewards can be obtained at the end of encounters,” Bungie wrote on X. “This will be a great time to research weapons of your choice, or even reach Master difficulty to earn artificial armor.”

Better yet, players will also be able to acquire some nice firepower from the Exo-44 gunsmith: “Starting November 19, Banshee-44 will have a small collection of weapons in the Tower with perk rolls We’re aiming to give you some perks that were a bit harder to obtain due to the bug, but we recommend picking up these weapons as soon as possible. possible.

Here is what will be proposed:

• Pink – Fluted barrel, precise cartridges, slideshot, explosive payload, soft grip, MW handling

• Multimachine – Polygonal Rifle + Tactical Mag + Attrition Orbs + Kinetic Tremors + MW Reload

• Kindness owed – Smart Drift Control + Tactical Magazine + Free Currency + Voltshot + Velocity MW

• compass rose – Corkscrew Shot, Light Mag, Snapshot Sights, Slideshot, Handling MW

• Hothead (Adept) – Hard Launch + Impact Housing + Tracking Module + Clown Cartridge + MW Reload

• VS Cold inhibitor – Countermass + Spike Grenades + Envious Arsenal + Bait and Switch + Reload MW

Of these, the Chill Inhibitor Heavy Grenade Launcher was the weapon that first sparked suspicions of something going wrong, so being able to pick up a near-perfect version of a meta-weapon from the most dungeon recent is a nice compensation.

Frankly, it’s in Bungie’s best interest to be generous on this, because loot not working properly in a looter shooter for what seems like several years could have easily turned into a bigger brouhaha . Community manager Dmg04 said these weapons “may not be 5/5 godrolls, but we hope they provide some fun options in the hands of players who were looking for specific perk combinations” . However, not everyone agrees with this assessment.

Bungie also promised “an in-depth article” explaining the Weightgate issue in detail, but warned that it “might take a little while.” A target date for this will be shared when available.
