After Bungie launched the massive December update in Destiny that included the Sparrow Racing League (SRL) event earlier this week, players began noticing some interesting changes. According to players, the Nightfall loot has been expanded to include a Mystery Bag that can contain an emote that would otherwise cost real-money, on top of that surprise – there was a bug.
This bug allowed players to complete SRL Record Book quests and acquire otherwise unobtainable aesthetic gear for free, without the bug the Record Book would cost $10.
Bungie has addressed this bug, as well as other issues in their latest hotfix. Players that utilized the bug to obtain gear for complete SRL Record Book quests will not be able to equip any of the aesthetic gear until they purchase the book.
Check out a look at the changes detailed by Bungie below:
Items
- Fixed an issue where Exotic Leg Engrams did not decrypt into any items.
-
Fixed an issue where copies of "The Climb" FWC Ship was incorrectly providing Reputation.
- This has been temporarily disabled on the Ship Collection kiosk and will be fixed in a future update.
-
Fixed an issue where the SRL Record Book, Vol. 1 items did not require the player to own the Record Book in order to acquire them.
- Record Book items will not be deleted from players' inventories, but will now require ownership of the SRL Record Book in order to equip the items.
- Any progress already made towards the Record Book will be saved.
- Warning: Record Book gear can only be acquired once. We are working on a future fix to allow players to attain additional instances in case of accidental deletion.
