In Destiny 2, there are many different perks for your weapons to give you advantages in battle. The community has now looked at the worst ones, and one is so bad that many think Bungie is pulling an April Fool’s joke.
What kind of perk is this? It is the perk “Invisible Hand”. On Reddit, the user spikehiyashi6 highlighted this perk and needed help understanding why Bungie even created this perk.
The perk provides your weapon with +25 stability when you miss multiple shots. After hitting a target, the stability boost disappears after 1 second. This effect can be found on seven weapons, and those unfamiliar with good rolls might think it’s not a bad deal, but this perk is one of the worst in Destiny 2.
Players are now wondering if this is an April Fool’s joke that Bungie is playing on its fans.
Players believe the perk is an inside joke by Bungie
What does the community say about it? They are not quite sure how to react on Reddit. Some joke and believe Bungie intentionally implemented the perk to help game testers who can’t aim – a sort of inside joke. Other players like MercuryTapir think Bungie is deliberately creating such bad perks to make every Guardian want the good perks.
Arborus reinforces MercuryTapir’s theory by stating: “The classic MTG design philosophy – you need a few stinkers in the pack for the good ones to stand out even more.”
To emphasize how bad the perk actually is, you need to know when “Invisible Hand” is activated. For auto rifles, you need to miss 10 shots to receive the bonus, while for hand cannons, it’s 4 shots.
Even if you are the worst shooter in the entire galaxy, no one misses that many shots to even remotely activate the perk.
What is behind such terrible perks? The Reddit user ACupOfLatte (via reddit.com) has summed it up well, saying about the topic: “Is it really a conspiracy if they do that for every other system in the game, lol? From Eververse engrams to armor stats, so many useless things to bridge the time the average player needs to get something worthwhile.”
Basically, Bungie can’t just throw the same good perks into the loot pool. They need new ones so that Guardians pull a variety of bad rolls until they finally get what they want after countless hours of grueling grinding.
Whether that is Bungie’s actual plan to keep Guardians longer until they obtain their God rolls is debatable. But anyone who knows even a little about perks and rolls knows that perks like “Invisible Hand” are simply bad and don’t provide any value – at least not in practice.
What do you think of the perk? Do you know of any other perks that deserve the title of the worst perk in all of Destiny 2? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
