Dead Messenger intrinsic upgrades not dropping from Vox Obscura after completions on all difficulties and all classes

Dead Messenger intrinsic upgrades are not dropping from Vox Obscura. Current weapon state I have a crafted Dead Messenger. The weapon is levelled. I have all Dead Messenger catalysts unlocked. I only have one intrinsic unlocked. In the reshape screen, the remaining intrinsic options still say “intrinsic upgrade required”. Completions tested I have completed Vox Obscura multiple times, including: 1. Normal difficulty. 2. Expert difficulty. 3. Master difficulty, multiple times. 4. Grandmaster difficulty. 5. Ultimate difficulty with an A+ score. Character and inventory tests completed I have tested this across all three classes. I have completed Vox Obscura on Hunter. I have completed Vox Obscura on Warlock. I have completed Vox Obscura on Titan. I tested with Dead Messenger equipped during a normal completion. I tested with Dead Messenger in my carried inventory during a Master completion. I also checked whether this could be related to character crafting access. My Titan had not previously unlocked the weapon forge, so I unlocked access to the Enclave, Shape and Reshape on Titan, then completed Vox Obscura again. No intrinsic dropped. Result No additional Dead Messenger intrinsic upgrade has dropped from any of these completions. The reshape screen still shows the remaining intrinsic options as locked behind “intrinsic upgrade required”. The issue persists after testing different difficulties, score levels, inventory states and all three classes. Expected result Dead Messenger intrinsic upgrades should award from Vox Obscura completions, or the game should clearly show any additional prerequisite if one exists. Why this appears to be a bug This does not appear to be an equip state issue, because the mission has been completed with Dead Messenger equipped and also in inventory. This does not appear to be a class specific issue, because the mission has been completed on all three classes. This does not appear to be a score issue, because the mission has been completed on Ultimate with an A+ score. This does not appear to be a weapon crafting access issue, because the Titan can now access the Enclave, Shape and Reshape, and the issue still persists after another Vox Obscura completion. This appears similar in type to the previous Portal Exotic mission issue where Derealize was not awarding its associated weapon, intrinsics and catalysts correctly. Request Can this please be investigated as a possible stuck account reward state or Portal Exotic mission reward bug affecting Dead Messenger intrinsic upgrades from Vox Obscura?

    Hi there, Thanks for reaching out! We appreciate the detailed report. That said, we didn't see any mention of the node you've been using to launch Vox Obscura. Have you launched it exclusively via the Portal, or have you also tried launching it via the Legends rotator? If you haven't tried it via Legends, we recommend doing that first to see if this makes the Dead Messenger upgrades start dropping for you. That said, you complete more runs of Vox only to find you still don't get the Dead Messenger upgrades, could you please capture some footage that demonstrates this? You can upload the footage to a public video hosting site, like YouTube, then post the link here and we’ll be glad to take a look.
