In the beta of Destiny 2, engrams were not supposed to drop. Yet, they did. What items came out of it?
The beta of Destiny 2 has just ended a few hours ago. It’s time to highlight a special case.
The only known engrams in Destiny 2 so far dropped due to a bug on the Xbox One, and that for two people. The lucky ones thus escape the limited item selection available to players in the Destiny 2 beta. The items that came from the engrams are unique pieces for the moment.
The site vg247, which reports on the phenomenon, says: There might be others who experienced this bug, but it’s likely very rare.
The engrams were immediately decoded since there was no cryptarch in the beta.
Player receives the most powerful item in Destiny 2, but it is nothing special
One engram turned into a class armor for the Warlock named “Fatum Praevaricator.”
The special thing about the armor is that it had 203 defense, which is 3 more than the 200 that every item otherwise has in the beta. Thus, BlackJesus71450 was at least theoretically the player with the highest decimal place at the light level. He had more light than everyone else. So he was practically totally overpowered. Yet, that didn’t seem to be that great.
Tradition continues in Destiny 2: The cryptarch is not a friend of the players.
The other engram was even less spectacular. An auto rifle with Void damage dropped: the Refrain-23. You can see the auto rifle in action here.
Destiny 2 will, like its predecessor, rely on the engram system. A cryptarch has already been briefly seen in the farm – during a presentation round.
Engrams yield random items in Destiny. A similar system existed in Diablo with identifying unknown items.
