Right when I learned Militia's Birthright existed, I knew I had to have one. For those who don't know, it's a lightweight grenade launcher that goes in the kinetic slot. For a while, it was the only weapon like that in the entire game. I like grenade launchers, and I knew I wanted one to help get through the grind for Mountaintop. So, when the Lake of Shadows nightfall came up, I spent hours running it to get a roll I was happy with. Why did I do this, you may ask - because that weapon was introduced as a nightfall [i]exclusive[/i]. However, I was handed one today (rolled pretty well, too) because I did a couple patrols and public events as part of the Exodus: Preparation quest? That makes zero sense.
Bungie, I would really like to hear an explanation on this. I'd like to hang on to some hope that this was an honest mistake, but with the amount of re-used gear offered to us this season, that feels like misplaced hope. Seeing EP weapons come back didn't feel good as that set of weapons came from a single activity, but this takes it to another level. For EP, you could get lucky and zone in to a group already on wave 7, accidentally tag something to enter yourself into the pool for rewards, and have a weapon delivered to your postmaster even through you did nothing to try to get it. The nightfall exclusives were unique rewards you could target via only one activity, and handing them out practically for free is a slap in the face to anyone who made the conscious effort to get one. If you really do want to respect your players' time, this is not how you do it.

Does it really matter? 😂

Edited by TobyTrice531: 7/8/2020 3:16:00 AMAccording to data mining, they are handing out lots of old weapons because a bunch of content is being removed to the vault. We will probably be given nightfall specific rewards on a regular basis this season, this being the first of many.

2 RepliesI dont see what the issue is, pick it up and move on. This is why I never bother grinding for god rolls, you will eventually get something better or handed to you

a) Bungie is a recyling utility. b) Never grind your life away for a god roll of anything.

To be honest D1 did most of this stuff better... Why are they so scared to copy their own work... Just have 1 weapon and 1 armor piece tied to the theme for every strike in to game and have them drop from the boss in heroic strikes all the way to grandmaster NFs with the drop rate changing based on what your playing... Also bring back the D1 modifiers.
