Destiny, although a very polished game on Bungie’s part, is well-known for its glitches, be they ‘cheese’ methods in Raids or hiding places in Strikes. Emerging today, however, is a peculiar sight – a Legendary Auto Rifle that does a maximum of 365 damage; which is 34 more than the current damage cap.
Admin note: It's not "365 damage" it's 365 attack rating. Attack rating allows you to do max damage to a target by overcoming their "defense rating" which we tend to associate with their level and type (normal, major, ultra). So, all this does is allow you to overcome a higher level that doesn't exist in the game, not increase your damage to creatures in general.
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
This was back when the game wasn't free to play.
The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).
Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.
Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.
People spend way too much money on cosmetics.
Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.
Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well
It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.
Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.
For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.
By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

I haven't played Destiny so I don't know if that rifle is any good. :/
nice find.. I wonder if when it's maxed out it'll actually do 10% more damage than everyone elses maxed out Up for Anything rifle?
I would think so.. Also, I wonder if this is the only one out there, there might be more that haven't been reported.
