Bungie patches Destiny 2 infinite Enhancement Core exploit

An exploit that allowed Destiny 2 players to farm an infinite amount of Enhancement Cores from Banshee-44 was patched by Bungie within an hour of it being discovered.
Destiny 2 is a game all about becoming stronger. Whether that means grinding out power, looking for god rolls, or crafting the perfect build, Guardians are always looking to improve themselves. The developers of Destiny 2 have acknowledged players’ love for the grind and introduced several systems to accommodate this.
This includes things like random rolls, which can grant powerful bonuses to weapons based on their perks. Or the weapon crafting system, which allows players to improve their favorite weapons of choice by grinding out levels.
Leveling up weapons at The Enclave consumes materials like Enhancement Cores. While these aren’t too hard to come by, it’s easy to work through them quickly making the discovery of an infinite Enhancement Cores glitch appealing to many. However, Bungie had a different plan in mind.
Destiny 2’s infinite Enhancement Core exploit has been patched
On November 7, Destiny 2 players discovered an exploit that allowed them to infinitely generate Enhancement Cores using Legendary Shards.
Players realized that the Staccato-46 scout rifle currently being sold by Banshee-44 could be dismantled for a guaranteed Enhancement Core every time. This easily made it the best Core farming method possible, allowing players to quickly rack up thousands of Enhancement Cores.
However, the exploit was swiftly fixed with Bungie patching it within an hour of Destiny Bulletin’s tweet. Following the patch dismantling the Staccato-46 now only has a chance of rewarding an Enhancement Core just like every other Legendary weapon.
With the glitch no longer functional the best method of acquiring Enhancement Cores is once again either completing Lost Sectors or dismantling Level 8 blue rarity armor. However, that last method is expensive and requires both Glimmer and Enhancement Prisms.
