Bungie has released this Pyro news to all the Destiny 2 Prophecy grinders. The Nine are feeling generous this week: More drops mean less grinding for god rolls, Adept variants, or just one last piece of armor to really complete their fashion game—fashion being a Destiny endgame in and of itself. The best part? This is now available to EVERYONE, no season pass or DLC required!
So what’s the plot? Your luck should have improved slightly if Prophecy farming has been a path to some sweet sweet weapons and armor for you. More drops mean less grinding for god rolls, Adept variants, or just one last piece of armor to really complete their fashion game-fashions being the true endgame in Destiny.
But, as the Destiny community is very much like Destiny itself, reactions are all over the map. Some are pumped about it, including this guy by the name of @LordDiabout, who kept it simple with just a, “Thanks @Bungie 👍” with a thumbs-up emoji. Then, in an entirely different take, players unreceptive to the changes offered their thoughts, @jeanvalchibre included, saying, “All the weapons are bad,” which is kind of harsh but sort of fair if you’re not into the current metagame.
Then there’s the whole “shiny” drops debacle-or whatever the players choose to call “holo foils.” @Chyli_Nova and @xurisolannister proceeded for an entire thread to discuss whether Adept weapons in Rite of the Nine can even BE shiny. Spoiler: They can’t. At least from Chyli’s perspective, who put the lid on it with the comment, “RotN adepts can’t be shiny.” Meanwhile, @BLINK_135 confessed, “Oh then we’re just schizo then lmao,” which, honestly, could apply to a lot of Destiny conversations.
And RNG—the classic player plight in Destiny-must never be forgotten. @robertm24414335 ranted, “Attuning to a certain weapon is a lie. I’m attuned to the pulse rifle and I keep getting shotguns.” Bruh. Same. The game KNOWS what you want and refuses to give it to you. It’s like Bungie’s AI giggling at us. And while on the topic of laughing, @m0m3ntomorii said that the “Bungie devs [are] giggling their asses off rn” watching us suffer.
And then, as usual, some crazy off-topic chatter started creeping in. @Captain_Aries01 took time out to call Crucible cheaters out, while @steezfourdayz wished “Happy pride y’all,” with a rainbow emoji attached-to be followed by… whatever went down between @x5_jerry and @Beeze_churger. Let’s just say it didn’t end well and move on.
So what’s the verdict? If you’ve been on the sideline during Prophecy, then now’s a perfect time to jump in. Extra drops in theory should mean less grind, and just maybe, get your perfect roll. Or another shotgun. The Nine are watching. And laughing, maybe.
Okay, but don’t expect any shiny Adepts. Because apparently, they just don’t exist. Unless, that is, they do. What were we talking about again?
