As a holiday treat to the millions of Destiny players around the world, developer Bungie decided to gift a legendary weapon to players free of charge.

Packages are being deployed by the millions throughout the day. Check your emails and the Postmaster for confirmation.

Of course this is the Internet we are talking about, so plenty of people took the gesture of thanks as an opportunity to whine about Destiny and how crappy their gift was. It seems like the gift each player receives is chosen randomly from a selection of Vanguard weapons. It's that "random" part that is making some gamers upset as they looked a gift horse right in the mouth. Many players don't need another fusion rifle or shotgun, and are mostly upset that Santa (Bungie) didn't bring them what they actually wanted.

@Bungie any way to send it back . I already have this crap gun. Gees this was not worth it — logan logan (@thecarnage07) January 7, 2015

Players who don't get a gun worth using can always break the item down into components used to upgrade gear, but that's not as exciting as getting a badass new weapon! At least some people are thankful for their digital present.

Screw y'alls complaining. S/o to @Bungie for giving me a free legendary item for the hunter I'm leveling. May not use it, but still, thanks. — Reed S. Albers (@ReedSAlbers) January 7, 2015

@Bungie Thanks for saving me 150 marks! I guess I was one of the lucky few who got something I didn't already have. — Ryan Bates (@ItsRyanBates) January 7, 2015
