Curse of Osiris comes on the heels of Bungie suffering overwhelming backlash for rigging Destiny 2 's XP system , with regard to players earning Bright Engrams post-Level 20, thus forcing them to " fix " the system. But they failed to mention if they would make it up their mistake to players by compensating them with in-game rewards that they lost out on.

Bungie's reputation with gamers is hanging by a thread judging by how they've been treating their consumer base lately. And the problem is that this isn't anything new for them... or for Activision.

Arekkz Gaming from YouTube has been able to discover the different types of rewards that Prestige Leviathan players can nab if they are able to clear the level. Apparently, according to Destiny 2 's database, three sets of complete gear are for grabs: a new Calus Treasured shader, five new emblems, and a new ornament for the Legend of Acrius Exotic shotgun.

Dedicated Destiny 2 players discovered that Bungie was up to no good with the game's XP system which allows players to continue earning experience after reaching the max level cap of 20. By 'levelling up' beyond 20, players would earn a Bright Engram , the game's version of loot boxes. These loot boxes of course are part of the Eververse store, the hub for real money microtransactions so the rate at which that extra XP, and hence, Bright Engrams, are earned is an important part of the g
