Destiny 2
Destiny 2 has brought back the famous Khvostov exotic auto rifle with the arrival of The Final Shape, and there’s one catch: The mission is kind of bugged to high hell.
Specifically, players will reach a step where they need 17 motes of light, nine of which are found from each of the three Overthrow bosses in each zone. However, there are problems. I think I might have answers, however.
- So, what happened recently was that the Blooming boss, the Taken Servitor, aka the “Meatball” was blasting the mote across the map when killed. It was disabled, but now re-enabled. If that is the last mote your missing, go kill him now. That worked for me. Easy enough.
- However, I have also heard of people saying that they needed to beat the meatball multiple times to get that mote to drop, so clearly something is still a bit off. It should be going directly to your inventory rather than being on the ground now.

- But if you do have that mote and are still missing one, I think there’s another answer. You may think you have beaten all nine bosses but you may not have, given you guessed it, another bug. There are triumphs that check boxes to show you’ve beaten three bosses in a region. But there’s a bug in which those will all by checked off if you have just beaten three bosses total in that region. For instance, I had killed the Lucent Knight and Lucent Wizard twice, and it said I had killed all three. I had to go back and eventually find and kill the Lucent Acolyte who dropped my missing mote. So even though the game was telling me I had beaten them all, I hadn’t. The problem here is you literally have to just…remember which ones you may have beaten or not beaten, so this may take some trial and error.
- Finally, a weird thing. Once I had the exotic mote I had trouble opening the end Khvostov chest until I moved around to its side and got the prompt.
Past this I am certainly willing to entertain the idea this is still bugged in the end. You may do literally everything here and it’s still not working. At this point I think Bungie should just give everyone the damn 9 boss motes and let them just do the other steps, the secret chests and the Traveler statues, if they want something to hunt down. This is getting ridiculous and the Khvostov is way too awesome to be kept from people.
I really do hope one of these things works for you, but yes, it is absolutely frustrating to be sure, I fully understand.
