Destiny 2: The Final Shape was a great expansion that quietly made a few perplexing additions in-between mostly great ones, with the new Pathfinder reward system being one of the more confounding. Obtuse, buried in menus, and seemingly featuring objectives chosen by throwing darts at a wall of numbers, the Pathfinder could lead to wild swings in reward cadence, especially compared to previous pursuits. Bungie says Pathfinder has ended up unexpectedly stingy on Bright Dust in particular, the free currency used to purchase some Eververse shop items, so it's giving out a whole bunch of the stuff for free for the next nine weeks.
Global community lead dmg04, a well-known community figure who left Bungie but recently returned to the studio just in time for it to suffer severe layoffs, revealed the freebie on Twitter. For nine weeks starting this week, you'll find 350 free Bright Dust in the Eververse tab of Destiny 2's in-game menu. That's a total of 3,150 Bright Dust, which is a pretty solid chunk – enough to get a few decent cosmetics.
