Bounties in the Beyond Light expansion have undergone changes and now offer Vendor rank progress, XP for the season pass, and the inclusion of Bright Dust.
A newly discovered glitch in Destiny 2 enables players to acquire nearly twice the number of Gambit bounties from the Drifter by effortlessly switching subclasses. In most games, bugs and glitches are not uncommon occurrences, and live-service titles like Destiny 2 are particularly susceptible to them due to their constantly evolving nature. However, the adept developers at Bungie possess extensive experience with addressing these unintended interactions and diligently release regular patches to resolve such issues.
Bounties have been a core feature in both Destiny games since their launch. They offer players specialized tasks provided by different vendors, resulting in predetermined rewards. In Destiny 2, bounties used to be the main way to gain additional benefits during PvE and PvP activities. However, with the implementation of Beyond Light expansion, the system underwent significant changes. Weekly bounties and smaller rewards were eliminated from the daily bounties, streamlining the process to solely focus on Vendor rank progress and season pass XP. Furthermore, repeatable bounties from Crucible, Gambit, Vanguard, and event-specific vendors now grant Bright Dust, a highly sought-after currency used to purchase cosmetics in Destiny 2.
While the Gambit mode has faced criticism for its lack of balancing and developmental attention, a newly discovered glitch has the potential to attract attention to this overlooked game mode. Prominent Destiny 2 YouTuber, Cheese Forever, posted a video demonstrating how players can stack bounties and earn increased rewards. By changing their subclasses, players can acquire additional daily Gambit bounties. Cheese Forever explains that one must collect the initial set of bounties on any subclass other than Strand, then switch to Strand to activate the glitch and obtain a new set of bounties.
Cheese Forever presents a video showcasing the rare occurrence of obtaining eight separate daily bounties without any overlaps. While players have reported this glitch primarily with the Gambit vendor, there have been claims of it happening with other Playlist vendors as well, such as the Gunsmith of Destiny 2. However, these claims are unconfirmed as there is no evidence to support them.
It is interesting to note that this glitch has been happening during a week when Gambit has increased infamy gain. Although Bungie has not addressed this glitch or announced a fix for it in a future patch, fans of Gambit have humorously speculated that it may accidentally remind the developers of Destiny 2's forgotten activity. In the meantime, players are advised to take advantage of this glitch by completing the extra bounties, ranking up in Gambit, and potentially acquiring some unique weapons.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
