In Destiny 2 a chest exploit in the Menagerie has been discovered that significantly affects the loot system. There is currently speculation about whether Bungie will address this with the update on June 13th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
What kind of exploit is it? We will not describe the execution of the exploit on MeinMMO, but rather its effects.
Due to the exploit, it is possible to loot the last chest in the new activity “Menagerie” multiple times in one run.
Is the exploit known? The exploit became known right after the start of the new season – on June 5th, a user published it on Reddit.
Since June 4th, video guides have been available on YouTube.
Hence, it is by no means a well-kept secret.
Why does the exploit have a significant impact? It is not a particularly complex exploit, but rather a clear flaw in the game that has major consequences. Especially since players are able to influence which loot they find through the Chalice of Opulence and its rune combinations.
Moreover, the use of the exploit contributes to players quickly completing the new Triumphs of the Season of Opulence by obtaining a full set of Menagerie armor.
Is Bungie closing the exploit? This is currently unknown. The patch notes do not mention a fix for the exploit.
However, Bungie has acted quickly in the past when such exploits have existed in the game that clearly favored players.
Because such an exploit ultimately ensures that players have “less of Destiny 2” as they quickly reach all the carrots that Bungie has laid out for Guardians to work towards.
We will report later this evening when the patch goes live whether the loot loophole has since been closed.
