Eyes of Tomorrow is one of Destiny 2’s best rocket launchers. It’s also one of the rarest, and some players who spent months trying to get their hands on one are still falling short. They’re especially shocked now that one of Bungie’s developers has confirmed that it would be easier to get the more someone plays.
One of the things that makes Eyes of Tomorrow special is that it can fire six missiles that track six different enemies at the same time, making it fun in PVE and deadly in PVP. The other is that it only falls from Destiny 2’s latest attack: The Deep Stone Crypt. Players can only find it in the chest by clearing out the final boss, and even then it rarely shows up – at least for some people.
“We get this question a lot,” assistant game director Joe Blackburn wrote on Twitter yesterday. Checked by the team, Eyes of Tomorrow has a cumulative drop probability – meaning that every week you beat Taniks on your account, the chances of getting those sweet, sweet homing missiles go up (eventually all the way to 100% if your super bad luck). “
Bungie did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Kotaku find out what the cumulative failure rates really are.

Some players have certainly had super bad luck. “24 knew and still nothing. Will I be lucky 25 my number ?! One replied on Twitter. “So far, almost 40 lootable open spaces with no drop,” wrote another. “I expect to invest time, but it feels awful to climb so high with nothing to show for it. “Lots of players over to the game’s subreddit have also had a hard time, while others have earned multiple Eyes of Tomorrow rocket launchers in just a dozen raid clears.
Destiny players are used to grinding dozens of hours to get the best loadouts on legendary weapons and armor with the best stat roles, but Eyes of Tomorrow has become a major sore, in part because it takes the game’s new coveted unlock Heist Seal Deep Stone Crypt. Seals are special medals of honor that are displayed on players’ gear pages, and for many Deep Stone Crypts, this is the first to have chased them. One of the requirements, however, is that players earn one of all raid loot, including Eyes of Tomorrow, effectively adding a huge element of RNG to an otherwise challenge-based achievement.
Plus, Eyes of Tomorrow is just a really cool rocket launcher, one that was in some ways reminiscent of the infamous exotic Gjallarhorn from the first game. Also, Bungie announced last week that missile launchers are going to be a big buff when Season of the Chosen Ones starts February 9. Maybe it can improve Eyes of Tomorrow’s drop rates while it’s going.
