Bungie Kills Destiny 2’s Unstable Cores, Reverts Infusion Costs, Grants 777,777 to Players

Following player backlash, Bungie begins a rapid rollback without a firm removal date.

Overview

  • The studio says Unstable Cores will be fully deprecated, with infusion returning to Enhancement Cores plus Glimmer.
  • All players receive a one-time grant of 777,777 Unstable Cores from the Tower catch-up chest to use before removal.
  • Bungie is rolling out a minor reduction to high-level infusion costs as a temporary measure until the currency is removed.
  • Unstable Cores debuted in the Edge of Fate expansion for post-200 power infusion but drew criticism for steep costs, expirations, and stifling build experimentation.
  • Reporting highlights steep drops in Steam concurrents and recent design U-turns, including a reversed power reset plan tied to the upcoming Renegades update.
