It’s a similar story for both thereworked Prophecy loot tablewhich makes one of the most beautiful dungeons relevant again as well as thenew grenade launcherwhich already looks to be a serious meta contender.
The community has been almost exclusively positive about this year’s Guardian Games event so far but a decision regarding the pricing of the new armor sets has left fans disappointed.
New Destiny 2 armor sets cannot be purchased with Bright Dust
The post continued, “Honestly, why are we even still doing silver only armor sets? This isn’t even a collab. This is a destiny original! Can you guys stop with the greediness?”
Others agreed with this post going on to accumulate over 2,000 upvotes and becoming the most upvoted thread on r/Destiny2. Many players expressed disappointment that such great cosmetics are locked behind a paywall devaluing their Bright Dust.
One such Guardian expressed, “Same reaction I always have in response to any new cosmetics that are silver only, looks nice but I’m ok,” while another dishearted fan replied, “GYATT that actually looks really good I’m not gonna pay for it but it looks really good.”
Looking to give OP a more direct answer, two of the most upvoted comments theorized, “Because they don’t make money from bright dust,” and, “Because they missed the revenue predictions by 45%,” in reference toa report posted shortly after Bungie’s controversial layoffs.
Though the future of these particular armor sets is not known it is worth noting that Bungie does occasionally move Silver-exclusive Eververse cosmetics to the Bright Dust store. Some examples include theEgo Malign shaderand the ‘Infinite Quiver’ Le Monarque weapon ornament.
