The Perk-Distribution Bug has existed since at least Final Shape, 4 months ago. It just didn't happen on any popular perk combinations, so it flew under everyone's radar.

"There's no reason that Moving Target + Threat Detector should be 17x more likely than MT + Repulsor Brace."

Truthteller was reissued when Final Shape came out. Notoriously, it was panned as a pretty shitty reissue, with no good rolls, no clearly defined god roll, and overall just everyone moved on and ignored it.

However, even on Truthteller, the perk distribution is night and day. This is the exact same bug that's on Chill Inhibitor.

It's just that nobody was crying they couldn't get "Harmony + Grave Robber" on the GL. Out of tens of thousands of drops, only 161 people got Danger Zone + Elemental Capacitor.

That is fractions of a percent.

This bug has existed for a while. It's only just now, just this season, just recently, that it's finally happened to a meta defining god roll trait combination.

How long as this been in the system?

I think something is definitely going on, also not sure if this is related or not but i've noticed that since earlier this year, at least since ITL, i've noticed that getting 2 of the same weapon drop in quick succession almost always gives both weapons the exact same main column perks.

I hadn’t really put much thought into this as I rarely grind for weapons. But I was running GotD yesterday with some friends and I got 3 Cold Comforts, all with Envious/Explosive Light. My friend got one too, from the same chest with the same perk combo. While it *could * happen by chance, it’s definitely very ominous given the recent discourse on perk distributions.
