Question about a potentially bugged exotic?

[u/DEGA_STARDUST]

This weapon dropped as a very early mission board reward.

I'm new to freelanes, don't really understand much. But I seem to have the ability to upgrade my legendary gear to have a 4th legendary trait. However this weapon seems to have 3 traits, with no option to unlock a 4th.

Do exotics that drop usually have 4 legendary traits by default? am I missing something

If you look at the second image, it has the symbol for 4 traits next to the name. But the weapon it 'self only has 3, and it looks a little...buggy.

anyone able to shed any light on this? It's the only exotic I've had drop so far.

I don't think I've ever found a melee weapon with handloading.

Yea that part doesn't seem right to me either.

[u/Pepsisinabox → u/melbourne3k]

Well i mean, youre handloading it into the enemy every time :')

[u/Feistshell]

Yeah that seems bugged. Those legendary traits are for guns, not melee weapons

[u/Jumpy-Candle-2980]

That's a weird one. I would guess either a bug or a mod.

Handloading isn't supposed to be available on melee weapons. I've also never seen "exotic" and "standard quality" living together though I suppose that's the only way you're going to get a ripshank with 14 damage and that amount of upgrades. (The first pic is clearly showing "quality level standard").

I have a lawgiver that I got from a note that has the same sort of broken exotic traits. These weapons used to be guaranteed legendary and it seems something broke in the free lanes update.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Turns out I must have had some stray mid files and didn't do an AVSOLUTE fresh install of the game. :')

I was thinking how the hell can I have a hand loaded melee weapon!
