Bounty and challenge reward levels get nerfed in coop?

Wicked Bug Reporting
,
1

PC, latest version, Steam

Shared Realm with 1 other player, US server

Players are level 25 and 24 (campaign item drops are level 11, crucible item drops level 12)

Issue: When playing alone, bounty and challenge rewards drop at item level 12. As soon as a second player joins, bounty rewards drop at level 7.

Reproducible: Yes, consistently. Items go from 12 to 7, even in the rewards preview, as soon as a second player joins the realm.

Not tested: We have not yet explicitly tested if finishing a bounty locks it, but I’m pretty sure it happened before that I finished one solo, friend joined, rewards collected, level 7.

We’ve noticed this happening at least since we started getting level 8 item drops in the campaign missions. The rewards in coop are considerably under-leveled and mostly useless unless collected when solo.

UPDATE:

Tested it now:

If you finish a bounty solo, the rewards will drop 5 levels as soon as another player joins.

When you finish a bounty in coop and the other player leaves, the rewards increase by 5 to the (presumably) correct level.

This happens both for the rewards preview and the actual rewards, and it’s not just a UI error - the items actually change level as soon as someone joins or leaves.

Nice, thank you for doing some extra testing, this is very valuable information for Moon!

I will escalate this.
