A new Destiny 2 update is out now, and after nearly two months, one of Season of Plunder’s most frustrating issues has been addressed, at least in part. The difficulty and inconsistency of acquiring red-border craftable seasonal weapons is one of the key targets of this patch, as you now have some guaranteed means of getting your hands on Deepsight-modded seasonal weapons.
The first of the two changes involving this issue in the 6.2.0.7 hotfix is actually a bug fix. One of the crew upgrades, Hidden Compartment, was meant to provide one of these Deepsight-modded weapons after your first Ketchcrash completion each week. Although it’s a slow means of progress–you need to complete five Deepsight versions of each seasonal weapon in order to unlock its crafting pattern–it was at least an option in theory, but a bug was causing some players to not receive their Deepsight weapon each week. This patch resolves that issue.
Additionally, the update dramatically improves another crew upgrade, Double Perk Weapon Spoils. This was arguably somewhat pointless before, as it meant that focusing a seasonal weapon would provide a version with two perks in the same slot, providing some degree of versatility for it. But when these weapons can eventually be crafted, there’s little reason to use one of these focused versions.
