I just spent the last week explaining why Last Word, as a Crucible weapon, should be allowed to be locked by Crucible. It’s not meant for PVE anyways. But why is it locked behind an Annual Pass? This makes sense, originally, new guns need new DLC. I’ve sided with that argument for years, but: 1: The Last Word came with a base copy of Destiny 1, but needs the Annual Pass to get? That makes no sense. Why take something away then charge money to get it back? 2: It’s becoming the META, being the most used weapon in Crucible. People that don’t have Forsaken shouldn’t have it, but why are Forsaken owners not able to get it? It’s the actual last DLC? 3: It also doesn’t make sense because it’s opposite to every content launch. Every exotic quest I remember was related to the DLC so it was easy to understand if I can’t get a Taken King weapon without Taken King because a step needs me to go to a Taken King location to do something. This however, is a Vanilla Destiny weapon, locked behind Black Armoury, that’s in no way linked to Black Armoury’s existence. As I said, 99% of the time I can see the logic in new gear being behind the DLC. It’s what you are buying. This time though, if you bought the $40 Forsaken DLC, you are not aloud to get the exotic Bungie already took away from you, and is the best weapon in Crucible, making it hard to even get Crucible with your Forsaken purchase. I have the Annual Pass but I don’t like the door this is trying to open. Very EA of you. Don’t go down that path. Star Wars Battlefront is proof that no one wins when that happens.
