Why Destiny 2 Players Want Shiny Adept Weapons to Shine Brighter
At the core of the issue, it’s all about making these special weapons look more special. Users claim that if Adept weapons symbolize a higher tier of rarity and achievement, they should have a distinctive appearance to reflect this. As stated by rReniquint in the initial post, the recently introduced Shiny Adepts look almost identical to regular models, losing the visual appeal that could highlight their exclusivity. User TillsammansEnsammans commented, “I cherish my old Onslaught guns because they have a unique appearance.” Since they don’t stand out visually, players are less motivated to pursue these Adepts, as the excitement of acquiring a “shiny” weapon is diminished by their resemblance to standard versions. Players seem to prefer a visual reward, eagerly anticipating the moment when their rare drop gleams like a radiant symbol of triumph instead of merging with the crowd of Normal weapons.
