You can't hit the jackpot anymore in Destiny 2.
The Squirting Pussyoriginal game's loot grind delivered lottery-like thrills at a regular pace. You'd tackle some in-game challenge and then nervously peer at the gear drops and the randomized "perks" attached to it that helped set two versions of the same item apart.

"There aren't random rolls on weapons anymore. Better Devils is a Crucible hand cannon [in Destiny 2], and what it has on it is what it has on it. Period," Luke Smith, the sequel's director, said.
The lineup of stats and perks for every weapon and every piece of armor in Destiny 2is now hand-crafted. That also means Bungie's sandbox team -- which generally takes the lead on weapon balance changes -- has a lot more flexibility when it's time to change things around.
"You can look at all the hand cannons now [for example] and track the data for everything," Smith said.
Bungie faced a balancing dilemma in the original Destiny: if one particular legendary -- let's just say, for example, the popular Cryptic Dragon scout rifle -- was unbalanced in some way, stat changes could only be applied across the full category of scout rifles.
The hand-crafted nature of Destiny 2's arsenal means every piece of gear is its own category, in a sense. A Bungie designer can call up a singular legendary and tweak its stats; a seemingly small thing, but one that promises to change up the notion of how gear is balanced in the coming sequel.
"It's gonna give us more flexibility to do per-item tuning," Smith said. "[That's] something we haven't had before because of the way we were building the [first] game."
This added flexibility is great, but there's just one problem. With Destiny 2's much larger arsenal, hand-crafted gear means the "lottery" vibe I mentioned at the outset also goes away. It's hard to get excited about getting anotherBetter Devils when it's going to have the same stats and perks as your first one.
"How can my second, third, and tenth Better Devils hand cannon be interesting? That's a question we should be asking and answering as quickly as we can," Smith said.
"We have ideas. While I would like nothing more than to share those ideas with you, we're up against [a deadline]. I don't know if they'll make it for our Sept. 6 [release] date. But we have some ideas that we're pretty excited about."
