If Destiny 2<\/a><\/em> players have ever felt like the odds were stacked against them when trying to earn a specific weapon roll, they might not be too far from the truth. The Destiny 2<\/em> community has come together to amass data that seems to point towards something going on with how Perks are distributed on weapons. While Bungie has responded and debunked previous questions about individual Perk weighting, it seems the studio found something worth looking into after recent player data suggested it’s Perk combinations that might be weighted, not individual Perks themselves.<\/p>

When players earn a weapon in Destiny 2<\/em>, most of the time, that weapon drops with a random combination of Perks and weapon attachments. While crafting weapons allows players to sidestep lady luck, not every weapon can be Shaped. That’s the case with the new arsenal of weapons from the Vesper’s Host Dungeon<\/a>, and that’s where players started paying closer attention to what rolls were dropping on weapons.<\/p>

The conspiracy theory holds water<\/h2><\/iframe>

Will wait for the full Newo dataset, but extrapolating from this messy data, using @T1Vendetta<\/a> 's proximity theory on a 6×6 weapon, you have a
1 in 24 chance for a specific combo at distance 0 or 1
1 in 49 chance for a combo at distance 2
1 in 454 chance at distance 3 https:\/\/t.co\/hPq2GnbnMT<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RA6DJSAbRg<\/a><\/p>— MossyMax (@mossy_max) October 24, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
