Destiny has a cave-shaped loot exploit

4.5
Remember how Bungie wanted each piece of loot in Destiny to have a "badass story" attached to it so badly that it scrapped player-to-player trades? A new exploit documented by Force Strategy Gaming (video posted below the break) flies in the face of such hopes, as the trick lets Guardians mow down continuously-spawning waves of enemies to amass a pile of loot for everyone in the vicinity.

The exploit involves a cave found on Old Russia, which Acolytes and Thralls spawn and rush forward from in waves. In order for the trick to work, players need to stand back far enough to allow spawns to keep happening, while ensuring that a lone enemy doesn't escape and go hide behind cover, therefore hindering future spawns.

For a sense of what to expect, Force Strategy Gaming claims that 15 minutes worth of shooting rewarded them with stacks of green Engrams, as well as a few blue and legendary-tier pieces. The same area occasionally plays host to a public event however, so bringing backup would be wise.

Im_tricky One day a week, Xur and the Cryptarch meet up in a bar somewhere in the tower and share their stories...

Xur: "Dude, this guy gave me 23 motes of light for a golden engram. I told him to take it to you to reveal its godly content lol. What did you give him?"

Cryptarch: "An exotic helmet, of course...but I had to make sure it wasn't for his class lmao!"

Xur: "That's my boy! Now, they'll have to come back to me for more. At this rate, I'll be able to retire in a few months! Anyway, what do you have lined up for the rest of the week?"

Cryptarch: "You know...just the usual. Turning blue and purple engrams into green boots!

This is my life right now in Destiny.
