Destiny 2: The Witch Queen: Bungie looking into Wellspring Deepsight grind

Destiny 2 – The Witch QueenA popular feature added to the series was weapon crafting. Although the system was straightforward upon initial registration, players are having trouble finding new patterns for their weapons. But according to one of Bungie’s community managers, the studio is looking into the issue.

Deepsight weapons can be picked up randomly from the world to gain materials that are needed to make new weapons. These weapons act the same as other guns of the same type, but they have a red board, denoting that players can “extract” crafting materials from them by killing enemies or completing activities.

Players will have to search Deepsight for the weapons they want to craft (three sets). The problem is that the Deepsight versions of these weapons aren’t guaranteed, and some are extremely rare.

The biggest pain point here is coming at the tail end of a crafting quest called “Report: RELIC-DATA,” where players need to craft a Come To Pass auto rifle and a Tarnation grenade launcher. These weapon patterns can only be unlocked by obtaining Deepsight versions. They are only available through the Wellspring activity. This is a four-day rotation.

Each weapon has a specific day in the Wellspring rotation, meaning that if you miss getting your Deepsight Tarnation, you’ll need to wait another four days to try again. Although players are allowed to play as many times as they wish on any given day, the drop rates for each weapon can be so low that they can go hours before they get the weapons they desire.

There are multiple levels of randomness in this game. Players need to be lucky enough to receive a Tarnation, Come To Pass or other drop. They also need multiple Deepsight versions for each gun. We spent hours hunting these weapons in Wellsprings over the weekend. We got five Come To Pass rifles, which only came every 2 or 3 runs during the 15-minute activity. One of them had Deepsight.

Players were not happy with this system over the weekend. Destiny YouTuber KackisHD. Senior community manager Dylan “dmg04” Gafner replied to Kackis’ complaint, saying the team was looking into issues where players could spend hours running Wellspring with minimal Deepsight drops.

While this doesn’t exactly give players a clear picture into how the system will change, dmg04’s comments reveal that someone at Bungie is looking into the issue. If you’ve been searching for Wellspring weapons, it might be a good idea to hold off until Bungie comments further on this issue, as the studio could improve the grind significantly in the coming days or weeks.
