Spider returns to Destiny 2 just to troll players with boots

Destiny 2Season of the plunder is about pirates. This season features pirate fighting, pirate booty and traditional pirate thievery. Normally this kind of seasonal theming would only apply to the enemies, but Bungie has brought back everyone’s favorite scumbag Fallen mob boss — Spider — to steal loot from players instead.

At the end of this week’s seasonal mission, Spider offered players a choice between three random rewards, just as he did the week prior. Instead of receiving a new seasonal weapon, like last week’s, players got some green Fieldplate Type 10 boots. Destiny 2 — a worthless item for literally any Guardian, new or old. Even better, these boots are only for Titan players, meaning Hunters and Warlocks can’t even put them on for nostalgia’s sake.

Normaly, Guardians would assume that this bug is real. But if players talk to Spider, he’ll mock them for their poor loot selection. Naturally, Guardians took to Twitter to laugh at the joke and make sure they weren’t alone.

Some players complained even to the Bungie Help ITAs if the account were a bug.

Even some Bungie employees seemed jokingly displeased with the Spider’s lack of generosity.

Many players shared photos of their new trash boots. However, some claim that they received an actual pair. Exotic or a seasonal weaponSpider is the better choice. The mix of confusion and joyful frustration from Guardians about their loot prospects all fits perfectly with Season of Plunder’s pirate themes. Some lucky people are getting wealthy while most of us remain stuck in our green boots.

To keep with the theme of that season, we can only wish that this season will bring a heap of bounty to players who have failed their weekly quest to avoid being punished by Spider. Everybody is searching for patterns so that they can create the seasonal weapons. Guardians love their loot and are eager to get them. And if there isn’t a substantial reward for the swashbuckling Guardians at the end of this season, Spider will have hell to pay from an army of players in green boots.
