Destiny 2's Khvostov quest is missing a speck of light? Try that

Destiny 2 brought back the famous Khvostov Exotic Auto Rifle with the arrival of The Final Shape, and there's one problem: the mission is somehow bugged as hell.

Specifically, players will reach a stage where they will need 17 Light Particles, nine of which come from each of the three Overthrow bosses in each area. However, there are problems. I think I might have some answers though.

• So what happened recently was that Blooming's boss, the Taken Servitor, aka the “Meatball”, was causing the straw to explode across the map when killed. It was disabled, but now re-enabled. If this is the last thing you need, go kill him now. This worked for me. Easy enough.
• However, I've also heard people say that they have to beat the meatball several times to get this mote to fall out, so clearly something is still wrong. It should go straight into your inventory rather than being on the field now.

• But if you TO DO I have this straw and still one is missing, I think there is another answer. You can think you've beaten all nine bosses but you may not have, if you guessed it, another bug. There are triumphs that check boxes to show that you have beaten three bosses in a region. But there is a bug where all of this will be checked if you just beat three bosses. total in this region. For example, I had killed the Lucent Knight and the Lucent Wizard twice, and it was said that I had killed all three. I had to go back and eventually find and kill the Lucent Acolyte who had dropped my missing particle. So even though the game was telling me I beat them all, that wasn't the case. The problem here is that you literally just have to… remember which ones you may or may not have beaten, so this may require some trial and error.
• Finally a weird thing. Once I got the Exotic Straw, I had a hard time opening Khvostov's chest until I moved to the side and got the prompt.

Beyond that, I'm certainly willing to entertain the idea that it's still buggy in the end. You can literally do everything here and it still doesn't work. At this point, I think Bungie should just give everyone the damn 9 bosses and let them do the other stages, secret chests, and Traveler statues, if they want something to hunt down. This is getting ridiculous and the Khvostov is way too awesome to keep hidden from people.

I really hope one of these things works for you, but yes, it's absolutely frustrating, of course I totally understand.
