A recent bug in Destiny 2's Episode Heresy that allowed class-specific weapons to be used across all character classes has been officially transformed into a permanent feature by Bungie.

The change affects:

  • Exotic class glaives (Edge of Concurrence, Edge of Action, and Edge of Intent)
  • Class-specific swords

Key Points:

  • Players can now equip any class-specific weapon regardless of their character class
  • Sword animations may temporarily look unusual until future updates
  • Bungie will monitor glaive performance across classes to ensure they remain most effective with their original class

Background: The cross-class accessibility occurred due to backend changes in weapon development processes. While initially considered a bug, Bungie decided to keep this feature after receiving positive player feedback.

Future Plans:

  • New sword animations inspired by player feedback about ninja and sword master fantasies
  • Potential balance adjustments to maintain weapon effectiveness
  • Continued monitoring of cross-class weapon performance

This change represents a significant shift in Destiny 2's class-based equipment restrictions, offering players more flexibility in their loadout choices while maintaining class identity through specialized effectiveness.
