Destiny 2 Players Discover Glitch to Merge Weapons into Insane Hybrids, But Fun May Be Short-Lived

A Destiny 2 crafting glitch lets players merge legendary and exotic weapons, creating insane combinations.
To do the glitch, cap frames at 30 fps, select weapons to merge, and quickly switch between them when crafting.
Players are making broken weapons like shotguns that shoot grenades and fusion rifles that melt bosses.
Bungie won't ban for the glitch but may rollback progress. Achievements/loot with glitched guns may not be permanent.
Enjoy it while it lasts, as Bungie will likely fix the glitch soon. Weapons will be erased.
