"Mastering Destiny 2: The Ultimate Guide to Weapons and Loot Pursuits"

Destiny 2 has introduced "shiny" versions of weapons, which are rare, visually distinct, fully masterworked, and have four perk options instead of two, making them a more satisfying loot pursuit than crafting or adept drops. However, these limited edition shinies will only be available for the next two months, creating a sense of timegated FOMO. Despite this, Bungie has likely recognized the positive reception and may incorporate more of these concepts in the future, potentially enhancing the base perks on these weapons to compete with crafted ones.
