If you follow Destiny 2 closely, you have likely noticed that the game’s final major update, Monument of Triumph, has brought both renewed player interest and unexpected technical issues. Despite Bungie confirming the end of support and no sequel plans, player counts remain strong across Steam and consoles, showing continued community engagement.
One newly discovered glitch now lets you buy Eververse cosmetics and receive the full cost back, effectively granting items for free. As Bungie works through post-update bugs, this exploit has quickly drawn attention from a player base that continues to support the looter-shooter even as it approaches the end of its lifecycle.
Destiny 2 Players Can Get Bright Dust Items Completely For Free
You can currently use a store refund issue to keep certain Eververse cosmetics without spending Bright Dust. The method works with Ghost Shells, Sparrows, and Ships that are sold for Bright Dust in the Eververse store.
The process is simple and relies on how Collections and refunds interact.
How the glitch works:
- Buy an eligible item from Eververse using Bright Dust.
- Open your Collections tab and claim the same item there.
- Refund the original Eververse purchase.
- Keep the claimed version while your Bright Dust returns.
Because the game treats the refunded purchase separately from the claimed Collection copy, you retain the cosmetic and recover your currency.
This issue surfaced shortly after the Monument of Triumph update went live on June 9. That update added new Exotic catalysts, additional Legendary Mark rewards, farmable armor sets, and the ability to focus Bright Engrams for specific Eververse items. While those additions expanded cosmetic access, this refund interaction goes further by removing the Bright Dust cost entirely for certain items.
The glitch does not appear to apply to everything in the store.
| Affected | Not Confirmed / Likely Unaffected |
|---|---|
| Ghost Shells | Exotic weapon ornaments |
| Sparrows | Full armor ornament sets |
| Ships | Silver-only items |
Eververse now rotates a daily Bright Dust selection, which means you have a limited window for each eligible item. If the issue remains until the next weekly reset on Tuesday, you can check each day’s offerings for additional cosmetics to secure at no cost.
Reports indicate the bug has been active for several days. It became widely known over the weekend, reducing the chance of an immediate hotfix before the scheduled patch cycle.
This is not the only exploit tied to the current update. Players have also discovered ways to simplify Pantheon encounters and stack identical Artifact perks for unusually high damage output. The refund interaction, however, directly affects in-game currency and cosmetic ownership.
At the same time, you can access the Excision mission for a limited-time Emblem before the June 23 weekly reset. With rotating Eververse inventory, time-sensitive activities, and multiple active exploits, logging in before the next patch cycle gives you the best chance to take advantage of these opportunities.
