Destiny Problems and Support

As part of the weekly update where Bungie outlined these two new events, talked about matchmaking and the February Destiny update, we also learn about Destiny Player Support (DPS) relating to some Destiny Problems. The current focus is on issues with Crucible Quest “Weapon Master”, specifically,

    • The Gunsmith has a Waypoint, but doesn’t accept the final step of the Quest
    • Inability to complete the step “More Bullets,” requiring 10 kills with each Primary weapon type

To bypass this problem, go to Lord Shaxx in the tower and you can get the next step. Here is more information about the problem.
