If you’re deep into Destiny 2 and particularly curious about the NES 003, you’re not alone. Recently, the community on r/DestinyTheGame has been buzzing with discussions about this elusive specimen. Here’s a rundown of what’s been happening and what you need to know about NES 003 in Destiny 2.
The Mystery of NES 003
Players are currently scratching their heads over how to obtain NES 003. Lahtinex kicked off a lively thread on r/DestinyTheGame, questioning how to get this specimen. Despite completing the quest, many, including Lahtinex, found themselves without NES 003. This has led to a flood of comments from fellow Guardians facing similar issues.
Community Reactions
- Willyt2194 — Hopes that Bungie takes notice of the issue, fearing it might be locked to Act 2, potentially delaying completion of a seasonal challenge.
- Uncle_Pastuzo — Expressed confusion over not even receiving the quest.
- Zero_Emerald — Clarified that the quest might not be appearing at all for many players, rather than the quest being completed without rewards.
Speculations and Frustrations
The thread is filled with speculations. Guilty-Future-7628 suggested that it might be tied to collecting enough specimens for Failsafe’s research quests, which align with certain triumphs. Meanwhile, Tekim89BRNT and Azurephoenix99 are guessing it might appear in the coming weeks, leading to frustrations given the current seasonal challenge tied to NES 003.
Bungie’s Challenge Woes
Many players, like Wookiee_Hairem and CasualFriday11, voiced their frustrations with Bungie’s handling of challenges. There have been several instances where challenges couldn’t be completed the week they were released, adding to the community’s irritation.
Possible Bug?
There’s a growing consensus that this might be a bug. Shawntails and viiTactiiCZz are among those suggesting we might need to wait until Act 2 launches or that Bungie addresses the bug.
Personal Experiences
Many players, like Eegorsan and Oxyfire, have shared their personal experiences. Some are scouring Breach Executable for research specimens, while others are stuck without quest progression.
The Waiting Game
As of now, it seems we might need to wait a few weeks for Act 2 or for Bungie to address this bug. Keep an eye on updates and community discussions, as there’s bound to be more clarity soon.
How to Beat NES 003 in Destiny 2
If you’re looking to beat NES 003 in Destiny 2, here are the steps you need to follow:
- Unlock the Quest — Ensure you have progressed through the Episode Echoes questline. This typically involves completing Failsafe’s quests on Nessus and then talking to Failsafe at H.E.L.M.
- Complete Objectives — For similar specimens, the quests generally involve collecting samples, activating specific devices, and extracting data. For NES001, for instance, you needed to activate Planetary Assimilation Pistons and extract data from the Arena: Breach Executable.
- Locate and Use Items — During missions, look for specific items or interactable objects marked on your map or HUD.
In the meantime, keep playing and collecting what you can. NES 003 might just be the next big puzzle for Guardians to solve in Destiny 2.
