Festival of the Lost,Destiny’s Halloween style event, returned to the game following this week’s reset. Thankfully, Bungie has made numerous changes to this year’sDestiny 2event, ditching the familiar Haunted Forest in favor ofLost Sector missions that have been revised with new Headless enemies, a spookier look, and narration by Crow’s Ghost, Glint. Naturally, this year’s event also has plenty of cosmetics to obtain, including new masks, Ghost shells, and more rewards.
Fans can also get thier hands on somenew loot during the Festival of the Lostas well. The biggest piece for many players is likely the Dinosaur styled armor, which ultimately won the community vote earlier this year, taking down the other choice of Monster armor. Pairing with the dino armor is the latest solar energy pulse rifle called the Jurassic Green, a new take on the classic Lincoln Green weapon. As fans have already seen, Jurassic Green comes with a wide range of perks, some which are better than others.

One perk in particular that the majority of theDestiny 2community seems to agree on is that Adreneline Junkie feels a bit underwhelming. As a newer weapon perk, it gives players a bonus to damage and handling for a moderate duration after scoring a final blow against an enemy using a grenade. Ultimately, players have found the bonus to be difficult to proc, generally unusable withStasis subclasses, and more of a PvE specific perk. Generally speaking, players tend to scrap weapons with this perk in favor of more sought after ones like Rampage, Killing Wind, Multikill Clip, and more.
Based on the usage rates, it appears that Bungie has taken notice of the perk not standing out as much as hoped. In a recent Tweet,Destiny 2senior community manager Dylan “dmg04” Gafner provided a tease to players, warning them to hold on to weapons with the Adreneline Junkie perk on them. While he doesn’t specifically mention why, he does hint that Bungie has plans for the perk, indicating that the team has “fun good news, coming soon.” It’s likely that this perk is going to be reworked a bit or perhaps buffed to be more viable in most situations.
While the news should be a welcomed one, numerous replies to the Tweet have brought up the Vault Space issue, something that has been a constant thorn for players since Destiny 2 originally launched. The vault only has finite space to it and longtime players are likely nearing the cap, meaning hanging on to more weapon rolls may be difficult. Fans have been asking for more vault space for quite a whileBungie has slightly increased the hard cap in the past, fans are hoping for a bigger jump in the near future to help with all of these new armor and weapon rolls.
Destiny 2is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
