Hotfix #2:
A bug was fixed with crate stat distribution where, in some cases, weapons received wrong or duplicate attributes. This fix also slightly increases your chances to receive better stats on items from crates.
Posted below is some additional information related to this bug, potentially affected items and how to fix them.
I received an item with a duplicate attribute. Can I get my item replaced?
No. I know this sucks, but the truth is that we are not sure in every case what any potential stats were supposed to be. Plus, some glitched items are long reset by relogging, or have stats/hit added to them. Which makes it pretty much impossible for Destiny staff to validate potential stat adjustments in all cases. For these reasons we will not be replacing glitched items individually, sorry.
Keep in mind it’s not guaranteed to receive certain stats on items received from crates. It’s all random, and the chance for a reward to be affected by this bug was equal for everyone.
What is the chance this bug affects a stat-worthy weapon from a crate?
In case of Anniversary Crate, we estimate around 0.96%. However, getting duplicate stats on an item is lower. Duplicated stats was only part of the bug.
Was my item with duplicate stats supposed to have hit instead?
No, it’s not certain that the item was supposed to have hit. If it was supposed to have another stat, it could’ve been any stat.
What happens now?
With the bug fixed, there’s a small increase in receiving weapons with more or better attributes, as well as some more variation in stat types. Consider this as a small buff in regards to stat generation on crate rewards from now on.
How do I fix my item with duplicate stats?
Reload blocks or relog with the item in your inventory. The item will automatically be fixed.
