Destiny 2: New Abilities vs. Weapons – What Do Guardians Really Want?
In a similar vein to having too many toppings on a pizza, making it hard to focus on any one flavor, some players find themselves overwhelmed by the variety of weapons in Destiny 2. User Bad_Muh_fuuuuuucka succinctly stated this issue when they said, “I think we have way too many weapons, and there’s not enough vault space to store them all.” The sheer volume of weapons, many of which start to blend together, creates a sense of burden rather than excitement for these players. Instead of seeking more weapons, users are craving something deeper, something unique—not just another pulse rifle that gets lost in the shuffle of their loadout. Recent gaming trends suggest a focus on abilities that can alter gameplay and let players showcase their individuality through their interactions with the game world. Consequently, many players are wondering if Bungie might achieve more success by investing more creativity into abilities rather than weapons.
