destiny 2, the pseudo-MMO shooter developed by Bungie, is a ‘game as a service’ which you can currently access for free.
Previously, Destiny 2 was a paid game. Now, the business model of the game is based entirely on in-game purchases.
To keep Destiny 2 players interested, Bungie is constantly sending out new events. Currently, the Nightfall event is taking place.
However, there is an issue related to the event loot. More specifically, Destiny 2 players are getting the old Sunset Horror’s Least pulse rifle instead of the new Nightfall version of the weapon.
Destiny 2 Nightfall event giving the old Sunset Horror’s Least pulse rifle
According to multiple reports, Destiny 2 players are receiving an old version of Sunset Horror’s Least pulse rifle, and not the version they should be receiving during the Nightfall event.
Instead of getting the ‘Nightfall’ version, Destiny 2 players get the Sunset Horror’s Least pulse rifle, an earlier model that was given in a past event.
I’m a little confused, completed the nightfall and got a Horror’s least (forsaken pulse rifle) that has the little white corner, meaning it’s light capped.
So what’s the point of it being in the loot pool, has it always been like that? I just feel really unlucky with this NF already lol. Source
I’ve only gotten one to drop, but when it did it was the sunset version of the weapon from Forsaken. Maybe the coding messed up and is dropping the wrong loot. Is anyone else having this problem? Source
The main differences between the ‘Sunset’ and the ‘Nightfall’ version
There are a couple of key differences between the Sunset Horror’s Least pulse rifle and the Nightfall Horror’s Least pulse rifle. First, the new version is aesthetically different thanks to a new skin.
The other difference is the most important for gameplay as it is related to the damage that the rifle can inflict. ‘Sunset’ is ‘capped’ to just 1350 of maximum power, and players cannot upgrade it beyond that point.
Official acknowledgment
The Bungie team is already aware of the issue and is investigating. But, there are no details on an ETA for a fix yet.
