Destiny 2 is a Sci-fi MMO released in 2019 and developed by Bungie, a studio best known for working on the older Halo games. Much like Halo, Destiny 2 features a variety of unique locations, characters, and weapons fitting of its Sci-fi setting. Some of its guns are even directly inspired by Halo like those seen in the 30th Anniversary DLC. Even so, the community has become fed up with the state of weapon designs, criticizing the lack of variety. Destiny 2 players think its weapon designs are boring Starting the conversation on Reddit, a Destiny 2 fan called out the state of Legendary weapon designs labeling them as \u201cvery boring,\u201d and saying they all \u201clook the same.\u201d The post reads: \u201cI was scrolling through my vault the other day and realized how much weapons archetypes look the same. SMGs all have one style of look, compact, foregrip in the front, short stock. Shotguns and ARs all feel very similar visually. Every single sniper in the game is magazine loaded.\u201d Comparing Destiny 2\u2019s weapon designs to real life, the post continues: \u201cIn real life, there\u2019s so much variety in weapon design. Things like the Sten, a side loaded magazine SMG, M24 bolt action snipers, the PPSH with its drum mag, the M1941 a side magazine loaded AR.\u201d The thread goes on to acknowledge that this problem is less noticeable with the Exotic weapons. There are numerous unique Exotic weapons like the Sweet Business, Tommy\u2019s Matchbook, and the Tractor Cannon. Agreeing with the post one user responded: \u201cIf humans on Earth could come up with so many different looking designs for weapons, why can\u2019t fantasy sci-fi foundries come up with more than 2 or 3 templates for each weapon type.\u201d Another player replied: \u201cI\u2019ve been complaining about this for years. With the exception of some exotics, every gun in this game is bland and repetitive.\u201d One answer offered a different perspective: \u201cBungie is never going to make bespoke animations for every single legendary. Even exotics only get unique reloads some of the time. Needing to reuse animations means weapons in a weapon type are going to share basically the same layout.\u201d With a new dungeon arriving alongside Season 21, Destiny 2 will soon introduce some new weapons. One confirmed gun on its way is an unnamed Legendary Hand Cannon that will be a reward for completing an upcoming quest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 players fed up with Bungie\u2019s \u201cboring\u201d weapon designs BungieDestiny 2 players have voiced that they are growing tired of the MMO\u2019s weapon designs, believing that weapons within the same archetype all look the same.
