A player received no loot for completing the new raid in Destiny 2 and his 6-year-old son is to blame.
With the current expansion “The Final Shape,” Destiny 2 received a new raid called “Edge of Redemption.” The final boss fight of the raid is against the Witness, who poses great challenges to the Guardians as a powerful adversary in the saga of Light and Darkness.
The final boss fight of the new raid is also not an easy task. In the World-First race, it took 19 hours for the Witness to be defeated for the first time by a team and the raid completed.
Although the World-First race and the contest mode of “Edge of Redemption” are now over, the raid remains an activity that costs time and possibly nerves. It is all the more tragic when one then receives no loot for their efforts.
Player receives no loot because he has children
Who is it about? The tragic protagonist of the story is Twitch streamer “KingGothalion,” who has around a million followers on the streaming service and regularly appears in front of over 2,000 viewers.
Since the release of The Final Shape, KingGothalion has been playing Destiny 2 again regularly in his streams and also completing the new raid. But when he and his team forced the Witness to their knees, the streamer’s game crashed, and he came out empty-handed.
Why did the player receive no loot? A few seconds after the boss’s health bar was completely depleted, KingGothalion found himself back on his desktop. Steam had terminated the application – just before his teammates received the loot for completing the raid.
The streamer reacted confused and believed his game or Steam had crashed. But when he tried to start Destiny 2 again, he found a telling error message from Steam:
The solution to the riddle: While the final seconds of the boss fight were running, Brad, KingGothalion’s 6-year-old son, probably also wanted to play and started a game called “Bluey: The Videogame” on another device.
Since you can’t play multiple games simultaneously on different computers on one account, Steam terminated Destiny 2 on the streamer’s PC – at the most unfortunate moment.
You can see a clip of the situation here on x.com (formerly Twitter):
In the comments on x.com, a user asked whether Gothalion had received the loot via mail or if he had come out empty-handed. The streamer then explained that they had to replay the raid.
Gothalion also writes that his son has his own PC and access to an account with Family Share, but somehow he still ended up on the streamer’s account.
What loot did the player miss? With the victory over the Witness, KingGothalion would have expected the following loot:
- Summum Bonum – Sword (Arc)
- Null and Void – Pulse Rifle (Solar)
- Critical Anomaly – Sniper Rifle (Stasis)
- Euphony – Linear Fusion Rifle (Strand) – Raid Exotics
Especially the new exotic fusion rifle Euphony is interesting for players. When you deal continuous damage with the weapon, threads spawn that also deal damage and thus increase Euphony’s overall damage.
