Torrentgame – Destiny 2 players recently discovered an exploit that allowed them to acquire the Dawning Event Card Upgrade usually priced at $10 USD completely free of charge. In a surprising move, Bungie has decided to let players keep their loot.
The exploit was quickly noticed by players, who found the upgrade in Destiny 2’s in-game shop at no cost. Some players even shared their discoveries through videos and posts, spreading the word about the unexpected loot. Bungie swiftly responded by disabling the upgrade, which unintentionally paused the Dawning 2024 Event Card Triumphs and related progression.
Naturally, many players were frustrated by the pause in their Dawning progress. However, others were more concerned about whether their free loot would remain in their inventory. Initially, Bungie had stated that once the issue was resolved, players would need to repurchase the Dawning Event Card Upgrade for 1,000 Silver.
Surprisingly, Bungie reversed its initial stance. Shortly after announcing the suspension of Dawning Event Card progression and the requirement to repurchase the upgrade, the developer issued a new statement confirming that the underlying bug had been fixed. Players who took advantage of the exploit and acquired the free upgrade will be allowed to keep it.
The reason for this change seems to be tied to the festive nature of the Dawning event. As described in the in-game event description, “Collect ingredients, bake treats, and exchange gifts to celebrate the season.” Bungie’s decision to let players keep their ill-gotten gains reflects a more lenient approach in the spirit of the season.
Bungie also reassured players to stay tuned, as a forthcoming update regarding the Dawning Event Card situation is planned.
