Destiny 2 players have been putting in serious hours grinding for reprised weapons as well as “Limited Edition” shiny weapons that are only available during the Into the Light event, lasting until The Final Shape launches in early June. The pursuit of these shiny weapons has been intense, leading players to question the drop rate and how it affects their chances of obtaining these exclusive items. The drop rate for these shiny weapons seems to hover around 2-3.68%, with some players reporting higher rates based on their gameplay experience.
There appears to be a correlation between the completion of specific run modes and the likelihood of receiving these shiny weapons, with a higher chance of drops in end-of-run 50 wave chests, especially in the Legend difficulty setting. The attunement system, designed to enhance drop rates, seems to have varying effectiveness depending on the type of chest being opened. While some players have been lucky in their pursuit of these shiny weapons, others have struggled to obtain them, showcasing the concept of averages and outliers within the game. Ultimately, the rarity of these limited edition weapons has sparked debate among players on whether they should remain available after The Final Shape event concludes.
