“Destiny 2: The Final Shape” expansion has received mostly positive reviews, but it introduced some confusing features, particularly the new Pathfinder reward system. This system has been criticized for being difficult to navigate and its rewards unpredictable, especially when compared to previous systems. The Pathfinder has been notably stingy with Bright Dust, the free currency used to buy items from the Eververse shop, leading to player frustration.
In response to the Pathfinder system’s issues, Bungie has announced that they will be giving out a significant amount of Bright Dust for free over the next nine weeks. This will total 3,150 Bright Dust, distributed in increments of 350 per week through the Eververse tab in Destiny 2’s in-game menu. This move aims to compensate for the unexpected shortage of Bright Dust players have experienced.
Dmg04, a prominent community lead at Bungie, shared this news on Twitter. He explained that the Pathfinder system was not initially designed to reduce Bright Dust earnings, and the company is working to address the feedback and make adjustments. However, due to recent layoffs, Bungy’s communication plans were delayed, which affected their ability to provide timely updates and fixes.
Bungie’s proactive steps to rectify the Bright Dust issue are seen as a positive sign, indicating they are responsive to player feedback and willing to make amends. Despite these efforts, the broader context of recent layoffs at Bungie means that detailed plans for future updates or improvements are currently uncertain.
While Bungie is working to address the issues with the Pathfinder reward system, the company’s recent challenges have led to uncertainty about future developments in “Destiny 2.” Players remain hopeful that upcoming Episodes will bring clearer communication and better reward structures.
