Summary
- Destiny 2 players want Bungie to make Festival of the Lost masks into a transmog so they can use them on other armor pieces.
- Candy is earned during the event while wearing ritual masks, but players find the masks to have mediocre stats and not viable for most builds.
- Bungie is selling Festival of the Lost Masks in the Eververse store, but some fans argue that purchasing them doesn't make sense since they only provide benefits during the event.
Destiny 2 players have urged Bungie to turn the Festival of the Lost masks into a transmog, so they may be used on other pieces of armor. These masks are only available during the annual Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost Halloween event.
The Festival of the Lost event allows players to earn new weapons and rewards by playing Haunted Sectors and earning Eerie Engrams. This year, Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost has also added Legend Haunted Sectors, along with a new way for players to focus Exotic Armor without having to use rare materials for the same. One of the most important aspects of the event is Candy, a currency which can be earned upon completing activities while any of the ritual masks are equipped. These ritual masks are quite goofy in appearance and are appreciated by the community; however, they are a separate piece of armor with mediocre stats, and aren't a viable option for most builds. To change this, players have requested Bungie to let them transmog the masks, so they can be equipped on their favorite pieces of armor while doing any activities.
Destiny 2 Players Annoyed With a Festival of the Lost Feature
Destiny 2 players call out an annoying Festival of the Lost feature that disrupts the gameplay experience of the Haunted Sectors.
In a post on the DestinyTheGame subreddit, user UselessDeadMemes mentioned how having to keep the masks on during activities to earn Candy is an outdated mechanic. They also suggested that Bungie should just keep Candy and Page Manifestation as a default event feature, and turn all the masks into a transmog. Several players from the Destiny 2 community seemed to agree with their suggestion, where one user also commented how not being able to use an Exotic helmet in activities like Haunted Sectors doesn’t make sense.
In addition to this, Bungie is also selling different Festival of the Lost Masks in Destiny 2’s Eververse store for silver. This has divided the fanbase, where some fans argue that since these masks take up an armor slot and only provide benefits during the event, purchasing them doesn’t make sense in the long term.
Aside from this, Festival of the Lost also introduced Destiny 2’s first ever truly all-black shader. There have been other all black shaders before, but all of them had some color difference that was noticeable. However, this shader is locked behind a Memento which can be used only once on a crafted weapon, leaving some fans disappointed.
Destiny 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
