Destiny 2 players have discovered the existence of a hidden perk on a popular Raid Exotic introduced in The Final Shape.

Discussing the gun’s undocumented seventh perk onReddit, one user pointed out the oddity, “Euphony has a hidden perk. Hatchling! Every precision kill creates a single Threadling.”

They continued, “This is on top of the Unwound perk which states that it creates Threadlings on sustained damage. These two perks work together, meaning that if your sustained damage also ends with a precision final blow, you’ll create one more Threadling than you typically would.”

For context, all of the listed perks for Euphony are as follows, with Threadling not included:

“Oh sht that’s huge! I never noticed that! I gotta go try it out again,” read one excitable response, while another said they had already suspected Hatchling was present, “I figured it had a hidden perk when it sht out four Threadlings from one kill on a red bar.”

Euphony has proven to be a strong weapon forStrandbuilds, and especially Warlocks who can capitalize on Threadling synergy to a greater degree than Hunters or Titans.

Hatchling changes the gameplay loop for anyone already using the weapon, and players should now be going for precision kills where possible. While both rapid and precision final blows proc the perk, Euphony being an LFR means you’ll want to prioritize the latter to maximize damage output.
