It’s true that dataminers have ruined the experience of fans playing the most popular titles. Dataminers showcase a lot of stuff to fans around the world by leaking it before its release or reveal. They do this by viewing the files added to the game’s code which contain the information about the new items. Many of them have spoiled interesting revelations and story bits, and it has plagued titles like Bungie’s Destiny 2 for years.

Recently, the game faced another problem with dataminers after they revealed a new item set to arrive in July. Along with that, the game’s community manager asked players to not buy it days before it’s release.

Destiny 2 scalpers leak Spicy Ramen Coupon Emblem set to arrive next month

Recently, dataminers of Destiny 2 leaked a major pre-released item set to arrive next month during a major celebration involving the developers. They showcased a new Spicy Ramen Coupon Emblem dedicated to Cayde-6. After discovering the new emblem in the game’s code, many of these dataminers sold it to fans who wanted to use it before its release next month. Fans would have received the item for free as part of the developer’s celebrations during Bungie Day on July 7.

The emblem is a reference to Cayde-6, who died during the events of Forsaken. The Hunter Vanguard, played by popular actor Nathan Fillion, died at the Prison of Elders after Uldren Sov shot him with his own weapon. Following his death, players received an expired coupon from the Ramen Shop, which was a gag set up by Cayde-6 who loved it.
