Is there an issue with the "Cheerful Destruction" challenge?

[AgeOfBacon]

I'm trying to get the title for the Dawning 2023, and the only challenge left is "Cheerful Destruction" which is progressing extremly slowly. Just how many enemies do I have to kill to finish it? Is it bugged?
I can't believe I have to grind so much for a basic challenge like that.

According to the Records tab in DIM, Cheerful Destruction requires 2000 Dawning weapon kills.

I'm honestly doubting that, I've spent 20 minutes on the moon, in Sorrow's Harbor, and didn't even get 10%.

Well 10% of 2000 is 200, so if you have less than 200 kills after those 20 minutes then being at less than 10% completion would check out. Mind you, I have no idea how many enemies you killed in that time. Also, as someone who's finished the triumph I can pretty confidently confirm that you do indeed need 2k kills with a Dawning weapon.

I started out using weapons from last year, didn't work, had to use something from this year but I finished it.

I dismantled that pulse as soon as I did though.
I sure didn't feel like no 2000 kills, but I dismantled the gun so can't look.

I have 309 kills with the current weapon I'm using, barely did over 10%. I'm a bit over 30%, counting what I did with another weapon. Something ain't right.

Actually last year weapons work. I have a god roll Avalanche from last year and made 30% with it before getting a decent Frosty roll

Aphelion's Rest yields around 2% progress per run and takes no time at all.

On a related note, Terminus East is great for farming super, grenade, or rocket kills. Just blast the big ad mob 50ft in on the right, then run back to the load zone to re-spawn them.

My advice is to never do things in Destiny 2 that you feel is a grind. Let it go.
It will suck the fun out of the game.

I used to grind. Almost stoped playing because of it.
For there are a LOT of grinding in this game.

Now i only do things that are fun.

So either grind what you have to, and try to have fun.
Or let it go.

If something are broken at the moment, bongo will make a statement.
