Destiny 2: Bungie Lets Players Keep Free Loot

Destiny 2: Bungie Lets Players Keep Free Dawning Event Loot!

Destiny 2 players recently exploited a bug, snagging the Dawning Event Card Upgrade for free. This $10 USD upgrade was briefly available at no cost in the in-game shop.

A Free For All, Then a Halt

Players quickly shared news of the free loot online. Bungie swiftly responded by disabling the upgrade, unfortunately pausing all Dawning 2024 Event Card Triumphs and progression. This caused frustration amongst players who lost their progress and those worried about losing their free upgrade.

Initially, Bungie stated that players would need to repurchase the upgrade. However, they had a change of heart!

Unexpected Twist: You Get to Keep It!

Bungie identified and fixed the issue. Their subsequent announcement was a pleasant surprise: players who obtained the free upgrade get to keep it!

UPDATE: We have identified the underlying issue impacting the price of the Dawning Event Card Upgrade. At this time, we are planning the following actions:
1. Players who obtained the Dawning Event Card Upgrade while it was incorrectly listed at no cost will keep it. Bank error…

The reason for this generous decision appears to be tied to the festive spirit of The Dawning event, described in-game as a time to “Collect ingredients, bake treats, and exchange gifts to celebrate the season.”

Bungie promised further updates soon regarding the Dawning Card situation.
