The Ultimate Destiny 2 Hack: Cancel Final Shape Pre-Orders for a Free Exotic Weapon
Destiny 2 players are allegedly exploiting a loophole to obtain The Final Shape's Exotic Fusion Rifle on specific platforms, even after canceling their pre-orders for the expansion
Some Destiny 2 players are reportedly cancelling their pre-orders for the Final Shape Expansion + Annual Pass, but are still able to retain the Tessellation Exotic Fusion Rifle. This weapon was introduced as a pre-order incentive during the recent Bungie showcase, which also provided more details about Destiny 2: The Final Shape and what lies ahead.
Pre-order incentives are a common practice in the gaming industry, where developers offer attractive rewards to entice more players to purchase their upcoming releases. Bungie has followed this trend by providing additional benefits to players who pre-order Destiny 2 expansions and its annual season pass. For example, players received the Quicksilver Storm Exotic Auto Rifle in Destiny 2 prior to the launch of Lightfall by ordering the annual pass edition. However, it appears that there is a significant loophole in the content delivery system, allowing players to cancel their pre-orders for the DLC on select platforms while still retaining some of the pre-order bonuses.
Destiny 2 content creator, Luckyy10P, revealed a rumor about players being able to keep the Tessellation Exotic Fusion Rifle if they refunded The Final Shape pre-orders. Many players confirmed this possibility, acknowledging that Xbox users were not charged until a few days before the DLC's release, allowing them to access the content before payment. Additionally, a PlayStation user verified that they refunded the DLC but still had access to the Exotic through Collections. Another player mentioned achieving a similar result with the Lightfall DLC, obtaining the Quicksilver Storm Exotic even after refunding the expansion. However, it remains uncertain whether this method works on Steam or other platforms. Some players speculate that Bungie intentionally used this tactic to increase pre-orders, while others believe it may have been an oversight by the developer that could be addressed in the future.
Bungie aims to deliver a thrilling ending to the Light and Darkness saga through a captivating campaign and raid in The Final Shape. Following the finale of the final DLC, Destiny 2 will undergo a transition in its live-service and content approach, shifting from the seasonal model to the episodic model. Players can enjoy Destiny 2 on various platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
