Perks are some of the foundations of Destiny 2\u2019s gameplay, offering a wide array of bonuses that can drastically alter a gun\u2019s strength and how they feel to play. However, not all perks are made equal, and one in particular has Guardians discussing whether or not the devs pulled an \u201cApril Fool\u2019s\u201d prank on them. The perk titled Invisible Hand grants a bonus to stability after the user misses multiple shots in a row. Stability is often overlooked as a stat in Destiny, as bonus damage and range tend to be the king of PvE and PvP respectively. However, not only is the stat granted considered pretty abysmal, but the way in which you receive the buff is too. After all, you have to actively miss multiple shots in a row to get the measly Stability bonus, prompting players to question why it exists in the first place. \u201cLike seriously? Is this an April Fool\u2019s perk?\u2026 How is this even remotely useful? What situation would you ever use that? Please someone help me understand,\u201d a Reddit user begged. One user pointed out that this is not the first time Bungo has released a bad perk to make less mediocre ones look a bit better. Others believed that the latest set of perks were only added to inflate the loot pool, as \u201cnobody in their right mind could ever think they are useful.\u201d A potential reason explained by one Guardian on Reddit was that the perk is referencing the Invisible Hand from an economic and market standpoint. \u201cJust like the \u2018invisible hand\u2019 of the market that the perk refers to. It doesn\u2019t work either, markets are chaos and always have been.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guardians are calling Destiny 2\u2019s worst perk an \u201cApril Fool\u2019s\u201d prank BungieOne of the worst perks in Destiny 2 has led Guardians to discuss whether or not it was designed as an \u201cApril Fool\u2019s\u201d prank due to how bad it feels to use.
