The Destiny franchise is returning to its roots to cater to more hardcore players as it continues to add content for players to pursue. In what I would call a grind, the Horror Story Auto Rifle was the endgame prize for completing and acquiring a number of Fragmented Souls that were released with the latest content update, Festival of the Lost. This required completing daily bounties in addition to completing a number of runs of the latest activity, the Haunted Forest.
While the Festival of the Lost is expected to release additional pursuits, this was the first available from the event. Given some interruption in my ability to play, it took me two weeks to play enough and complete objectives in order to acquire it. The benefit of acquiring it is that it is an overall solid weapon for the game. It is also awarded at a the max level for a weapon, 600 power level in addition to be a Masterwork weapon. It also looks nice and has a unique sounds when firing.
I am happy that I was able to acquire this as it was truly a solo grind as most of my friends continue to play Call of Duty given its recent release. Me, on the other hand, continue to be conflicted in what to play given all the games available. While I am glad that some of the grind is back to Destiny, I am now trying to figure out how to divide my time as content continues to be released for my favorite game at the same time that other games are providing interesting experiences as well.
Thanks!
