Rite of the Nine weapons are also dropping in the game, although the items are untextured placeholder versions. These weapons are reprisals from the three respective dungeons feat

Bungie accidentally launched the Rite of the Nine event in Destiny 2 ahead of its official release date. The event was supposed to go live on April 1, along with Act 3 of Heresy.

A mistake on Destiny 2 developer Bungie's part allows players very early access to the work-in-progress Rite of the Nine seasonal content.

Bungie accidentally launched Rite of Nine for Destiny 2 early, complete with unfinished rewards and everything.

The Rite of the Nine activity was supposed to launch with Destiny 2: Heresy Act 3 sometime in April. It released halfway through March. Players quickly discovered the incomplete activity, loaded in, and started earning some stunning textureless weapons. Bungie has disabled the activity but it can never take our hilarious images.

Well, I have to say, the Destiny 2 community has needed a good laugh the past few months or so, and boy, this is it. Rite of the Nine is here early, and it's a mess.
