In Bungie’s last livestream about the first Destiny 2 expansion Curse of Osiris, new endgame activities such as the weapon forge were introduced. The streamer Gothalion had something entirely different in mind, and he loses it on camera. That was too much for him.
In the latest livestream about the first expansion of Destiny 2, the focus was on new ways to play and earn loot. The new planet Mercury offers its own patrol zone and the largest public event ever in Destiny.
However, there were also news about the Vex weapons that Guardians can earn. For this, materials must be collected and specific activities completed to receive one of the eleven weapons.
The weapons can be “forged”, but the perks are, as is usual in Destiny 2, predetermined – this did not sit well with one of the most famous Destiny streamers. Gothalion had something different in mind under the term “forging”.

Many players wished that with the Vex weapons, the opportunity to actually forge weapons would be created. This would significantly enhance the endgame, especially if each forging process resulted in a weapon with different perks.
Specifically, the Vex technology would allow for many play styles. It is no coincidence that we are on Mercury in the Infinite Forest – and it is something different each time we go through. Because the Vex simulate every reality, their technology plays through all versions.
Why was this idea not adopted for the weapons? The Vex are known for shaping and changing things, adapting and transforming them. However, this adaptability does not reflect in the Vex weapons.
For the streamer Gothalion, this system represents a series of missed opportunities to make the endgame more exciting and sustainable. He therefore expressed his frustration loudly during the Bungie livestream, as can be seen and heard in the following video:
In the nearly unanimous video, Gothalion expresses his frustration that Bungie is not expanding the gameplay mechanics, even though it is clear how the community can be kept engaged.
A user on reddit soberly states: In essence, the weapon forge is just a new term for decrypting an engram. There is no influence on what comes out during the forging process.
Do you share Gothalion’s frustration? Or are you looking forward to the new endgame in Curse of Osiris?
