Whenever Bungie comes out with a new update in Destiny 2, the entire community gets together and works out different cheeses in the game. These cheeses include getting additional item drops and quick ways to defeat bosses. Honestly, if cheese hunting was a sport, Guardians from the Destiny community would definitely bag one of the top spots.
The new Duality dungeon was recently introduced in Season of the Haunted in Destiny 2. Guardians were quick to notice a small bug that they exploited. Bungie was quick to patch that out as well.
Bungie fixes armor drop cheese in Destiny 2
Just like every other dungeon in the game, completing the Duality dungeon on Master difficulty rewards Guardians with Pinnacle gear once a week. However, Guardians soon realised that every time they completed the dungeon on the mentioned difficulty, they would receive Pinnacle gear.
After noticing this bug, Bungie patched it out, and the dungeon now drops Pinnacle gear only once. For every Master difficulty completion after the first successful attempt, the Duality dungeon will now reward Guardians with Powerful gear.
As usual, the community is not happy with it. Primarily because getting hands on Pinnacle gear is slightly difficult in the game. Members of the community have also complained about Bungie 'fixing' issues that everyone enjoys.
However, just like every other online debate, the Destiny 2 community also has members who support Bungie's decision.
Although there are two sides to this argument, it's evident that most of the community disliked the change that it brought. Interestingly enough though, one Guardian pointed out that this could be Bungie's way of testing out alternate leveling systems in the game. It's only a matter of time before the players find out what Bungie is actually up to.
