In a blog post from March 27, Bungie confirmed that only six out of 12 weapons coming in Destiny 2’s<\/em> Into the Light\u00a0update will be available at launch. The rest will become available one at a time, once a week, leaving many fans frustrated and disappointed.<\/p>
On the same day,\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em><\/a>\u00a0players\u00a0on Reddit<\/a>\u00a0agreed Bungie has no good reason to time-game the weapons, and should release\u00a0all the weapons<\/a>\u00a0together when\u00a0Into the Light\u00a0launches on April 9. “Legitimately awful decision. Classic Bungie shooting itself in the foot when they almost had a W,” one player wrote, adding they just want to enjoy the content coming with the update.<\/p>

Time-gating the weapons means if you want a specific weapon from the BRAVE arsenal<\/a>, whether it’s Luna’s Howl or The Mountaintop, you might have to wait weeks until it becomes available. And while all the weapons and the rest of the\u00a0Into the Light\u00a0content, including the\u00a0Onslaught activity<\/a>, will stay in the game when\u00a0The Final Shape<\/em>\u00a0expansion launches on June 4, the limited editions of these weapons (with shiny ornaments) will go away, shortening the window for you to get them.<\/p>
This news came as a disappointment to the community, especially since the time-gating wasn’t mentioned during the\u00a0Into the Light<\/em>\u00a0livestream<\/a> on March 26, where the developer discussed the new social space and rewards. “A cowards move that was on purpose, they knew the community would hate it,” one player wrote, with others mentioning it’s likely Bungie’s management behind this decision to ensure consistent player engagement.<\/p>
