Funny Guns are dead as Bungie fixes Destiny 2\u2019s insane crafting glitch Over the weekend, Destiny 2 players discovered one of the biggest exploits in the looter shooter\u2019s history, but now the ability to make and use the so-called \u201cFunny Guns,\u201d is over after Bungie patched the crafting glitch and restored all affected weapons. On September 15, an exploit involving a weapon crafting glitch was discovered that allowed players to combine frames and perks across multiple weapons. It didn\u2019t take long for the Destiny community to figure out the potential for this bug. The result was shotgun Ammit-AR2s, insta-kill Vexcaliburs, and even Heavy Grenade Launchers that were basically firing nuclear warheads. The Funny Guns that resulted from this bug are easily amongst the most broken in Destiny history with players managing to solo raid bosses using them. However, the fun couldn\u2019t last forever and as promised Bungie has now stepped in to bring an end to the game-breaking exploit. Destiny 2 crafting glitch has been patched after chaotic weekend Bungie has patched the crafting glitch and restored all affected weapons effectively bringing an end to the Funny Guns era with the fix going live in the early hours of September 18. Announcing the patch Bungie Help tweeted: \u201cUPDATE: In the first of multiple updates, which is going live shortly, a selection of Exotic and Legendary frames and perks on crafted weapons will be temporarily disabled. Crafted weapons can still be equipped.\u201d \u201cThis includes Osteo Striga, Revision Zero, Dead Man\u2019s Tale, Dead Messenger, Vexcalibur, and all three Exotic class glaives. This will not affect any versions of these that exist that were not crafted. We\u2019re currently building a second fix focused on replacing illegitimate perks on crafted weapons,\u201d the Destiny developer confirmed. Following this post, Destiny 2\u2019s servers were taken down and everyone was disconnected. Once Guardians got back online their glitched Funny Guns had been amended now acting just like regular weapons. Interestingly, the glitched frames are still visible when hovering over a previously crafted weapon. For example, the infamous shotgun Ammit will still display as an Aggressive Frame although this is purely cosmetic and has no impact in-game. For the time being, rollbacks are not anticipated with Bungie previously confirming it was not something it was looking into. That means Guardians will most likely get to keep any loot and triumphs acquired by using the glitched weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
