Destiny 2: Season of the Plunder is all about pirates. It affords pirate battles, pirate booty, and traditional pirate thievery. Normally this type of seasonal theming would solely apply to the enemies, however Bungie has introduced again everybody’s favourite scumbag Fallen mob boss — Spider — to steal loot from gamers as a substitute.

At the top of this week’s seasonal mission, Spider supplied gamers a selection between three random rewards, simply as he did the week prior. But as a substitute of getting a random new seasonal weapon like they did final week, some gamers as a substitute bought inexperienced Fieldplate Type 10 boots from the early days of Destiny 2 — a nugatory merchandise for actually any Guardian, new or previous. Even higher, these boots are just for Titan gamers, that means Hunters and Warlocks can’t even put them on for nostalgia’s sake.

Normally, Guardians may assume this can be a bug. But if gamers speak to Spider, he’ll mock them for his or her poor loot choice. Naturally, Guardians took to Twitter to giggle on the joke and ensure they weren’t alone.

Some gamers even complained to the Bungie Help IT account as if it had been a bug.

Even some Bungie staff appeared jokingly displeased with the Spider’s lack of generosity.

While most gamers had been sharing photos of their new rubbish boots, some claimed that they bought an Exotic or a seasonal weapon from Spider as a substitute. The mixture of confusion and joyful frustration from Guardians about their loot prospects all suits completely with Season of Plunder’s pirate themes. A fortunate few on the market are getting wealthy whereas the remainder of us are caught with inexperienced boots.

Keeping with that theme, nevertheless, one can solely hope that there is a mountain of boot-y ready on the finish of this season to make up for gamers who did their weekly quest solely to be punished by Spider. Guardians take their loot significantly, and everyone seems to be eagerly grinding for patterns of the new seasonal weapons to allow them to craft them. And if there isn’t a considerable reward for the swashbuckling Guardians on the finish of this season, Spider can have hell to pay from a military of gamers in inexperienced boots.
