Destiny 2 players experienced a major bug during the Trials of Osiris event, resulting in the creation of incredibly powerful weapons. These “illegal” weapons were crafted with components that made them overpowered and gave players an unfair advantage. The bug went viral and caused a frenzy among players.
Bungie, the game’s developer, took action to address the issue. They disabled certain Legendary and Exotic frames on crafted weapons to temporarily fix the bug while they work on a permanent solution. However, there will be no rollback, meaning the unusual statistics from this weekend’s Trials of Osiris will remain in the game’s history.
The impact of the bug is evident in the staggering numbers. Over 8.5 million kills were made with the Ammit AR2 alone, and auto rifles accounted for 54 percent of all total kills. These kills were not achieved through normal gameplay, as players exploited the bug to create auto rifles with unintended components, such as an Aggressive Shotgun Frame, making them even more potent.
The dominance of these overpowered weapons is reflected in the Trials of Osiris leaderboard. The top four weapon spots were occupied by auto rifles and grenade launchers, thanks to the bug. This combination allowed players to have effectively infinite Special ammo and an overclocked auto rifle, making it the most popular and powerful choice for PvP.
Comparing these statistics to previous Trials weekends, the difference is striking. Last week, the Ammit AR2 was the most used weapon but only accounted for 4.3 percent of kills. Other popular weapons like Conditional Finality and The Immortal submachine gun were overshadowed by the hybrid guns created through the bug.
Bungie has already disabled the offending perks on crafted weapons, but a second fix to replace these perks is still in progress. While the bug’s reign of terror over PvE and PvP is coming to an end, the weapon statistics it generated will likely remain unbeatable for a long time.
In conclusion, Destiny 2’s Trials of Osiris event was marred by a bug that allowed players to create overpowered weapons. Bungie has taken steps to address the issue, but the impact of the bug will be a permanent part of the game’s history. The dominance of auto rifles and grenade launchers in this weekend’s Trials is unprecedented, and the statistics reflect the overwhelming advantage these weapons provided. Despite the bug’s negative impact, it has created a unique and memorable experience for Destiny 2 players.
