Since Bungie detailed its upcomingDestiny 2Grandmaster Nightfall Strikes, there has been a debate within the community about rewarding content. For a while now,Destiny 2has struggled to deliver challenging endgame content with meaningful rewards but things have come to a head as of late.
However, oneDestiny 2fan has presented a solution that could easily fix some of the game’s biggest problems, at least on the PvE side. They suggest that Bungie create an adept tier of loot that will only drop from endgame activities.

Reddit user TheChunkMaster presents a rather brilliant solution that would give players more reason to grind challenging endgame content like raids and the new Grandmaster Nightfall. In TheChunkMaster’s vision, adept rewards would carry an intrinsicOverload, Anti-Barrier, or Unstoppable Roundsperk that would help with future endgame runs.
The Overload, Anti-Barrier, and Unstoppable mods are not essential for completing mostDestiny 2content, but they are a requirement for the higher tier Nightfall Ordeals and theLegendary Lost Sectors. ManyDestiny 2fireteams like to coordinate their loadouts so that they have one of each, but in a lot of cases that stifles the options. But what if any weapon could have one of those three mods as an adept version?
Right now, those three Champion-focused mods are only available through the current season’s artifact and they only work with specific weapons. ForSeason of the Worthythe focus is on SMGs, Sidearms, Hand Cannons, and Auto Rifles, but the mods are not interchangeable. For example, Auto Rifles can only accept Overload Rounds.
But in this new reward system it would be possible to get an auto rifle drop that had Anti-Barrier rounds and it wouldn’t cost a weapon mod slot. Those Destiny 2 players that wield these weapons would show that they are among the PvE elite, and completing future endgame content would be easier.
On top of that, there would be a new reason to grind content like Nightfall Ordeals beyond farming for exotics and Ascendant Shards. Three seasons into Year 3 of Destiny 2 and the desire to grind has started to lose its luster, to the point that manytopDestiny 2players are taking breaks.
If nothing else, Bungie is going to have to introduce some incentives to keep players coming back after the new activities have run dry. While thestruggles of PvP and Trials of Osirisare well documented, the PvE side is leaving just as many (if not more) players frustrated.
Destiny 2is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
