Try This Destiny Cheat Fast, Before It's Patched
Today a glitch was discovered in Destiny. The bug creates a loophole that grants you exotic engrams with almost no effort on your part, and was first brought to attention on this Reddit page. But since very few things on that page are in complete sentences, we’re posting the summary from Gamespot instead….
First, head to Xur, the Destiny vendor who just appeared again in the game today, and pick up some Three of Coins consumables. As previously detailed, this is a new item which, when used, increases the likelihood of an Exotic item dropping from your next boss kill.
Next, find a Destiny “Ultra” (a named boss featuring a yellow health bar) and get it down to low health. Reddit user KinetiClutch reports that this works on Draksis, the boss from the Scourge of Winter story mission. Next, use a Three of Coins item and then finish off the boss with a rocket launcher in close range.
This will kill both of you, but the boss will drop an exotic engram. After respawning, the engram will be on the ground where you left it. Voila.
If you’re still in the dark, this video shows you exactly what to do:
It’s confirmed that Bungie is aware this glitch exists. It won’t be long before it’s patched out, perhaps just a day. Deej, Bungie’s community manager, chipped in to the Reddit discussion where the bug was first discovered. “I was just conferring with the design team about how Three of Coins is performing in the wild. It is their assessment, and yours as well, given the context of the dialogue here, that the drop rates are too damn high. For now, this will play in your favor…You earned those coins. Have fun spending them. The Nine may be delighted that you’re blowing them all now. As always, thanks for being an outstanding source of feedback and awareness. We like you just fine.”
Translation: you can keep whatever you get from this glitch, but it won’t be there long.
