News - Bungie Made A Mistake, But Destiny 2 Players Can Keep Their Shiny New Weapons
<p>The <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-2-guardian-games-2025-adds-new-boss-rush-mode-rushdown/1100-6529969/">2025 Guardian Games</a> began earlier this week in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/destiny-2-review/1900-6416758/">Destiny 2</a>, but that event wasn't the only thing to arrive. Somehow, Bungie accidentally released some of its Rite of the Nine activities prematurely during the latest update. But the good news is that players will be able to keep any of the weapons they earned from completing those activities.</p><p>On Bungie's <a href="https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid_03_13_2025">official site</a>, the devs chalked up the error to the will of the Nine, and added that, "Their will <em>is </em>their own." The company went on to explain that the Rite of the Nine activities accidentally leaked in Update 8.2.5 were in an extremely early state with temporary art and "fake perk rolls." The final versions of those activities will be more refined, and optimized for Explorer, Eternity, and Ultimatum modes.</p><p>Luckily, Bungie accepted the mistake with good humor, and noted that the early-bird weapons won't be removed from anyone's inventory. That said, the weapons will be modified a bit to prevent any rule-breaking combos.
