In Destiny 2, bugs, especially those that are fun, are quickly fixed by Bungie, but this time it didn’t happen. A very special bug was so entertaining and useful that it is now crowned as a feature.
What was that bug? Since the release of Episode: Betrayal, a curious bug regarding class-specific weapons and exotics has been circulating. There are 6 weapons, and two of them are tied to the respective classes. Fans knew these restrictions since the release of the exotic Banshee weapons from Destiny 1. However, the bug lifted the restriction and Guardians could use all weapons in any class.
In Destiny 2, however, the system felt outdated, and fans wished for this bug to remain. According to the latest TWAB (via bungie.net), there is now a statement from the developers that brings reason for joy.
Titans become ninjas
Which feature do the Guardians benefit from? In Destiny, there are the following weapons that are tied to the respective classes:
- Quick Hitter – Legendary sword for Hunters
- Spear of Concord – Exotic glaive for Hunters
- Crown Splitter – Legendary sword for Titans
- Spear of Action – Exotic glaive for Titans
- Eternity’s Blade – Legendary sword for Warlocks
- Spear of Intent – Exotic glaive for Warlocks
However, with the new feature, there are no more restrictions. This means that the most absurd builds can be created. This is the first time that fans can “multiclass” – using talents that are only reserved for the respective classes.
Hunters can now become Titans with the Spear of Action and shoot protective domes. Titans can also become ninjas and melt their bosses in seconds with the Quick Hitter. And those who wanted to turn the Warlock into a paladin now have the Crown Splitter, the perfect sword for medieval fashion.
Bungie has discussed with their team and viewed the bug as a nice feature for Guardians to have fun with. However, the weapons should still be strong enough for the classes they were created for. Bungie is keeping a watchful eye on the developments of the meta and observing the activities of the Guardians.
They warn that some weapon animations may look funny on the respective classes because they are old and not intended for those classes. Will you build a nimble Titan now that Bungie lets you use the samurai sword of the Hunters?
