Destiny 2 is so broken with the new season that Bungie has to disable an important feature immediately

Last week, Season 22 started in Destiny 2: 3 new aspects were introduced to the shooter to provide variety. However, one aspect, that of the Warlock, seemed significantly too strong to many players. On Friday evening, Bungie had to pull the emergency brake after players discovered just how overpowering the ability “Webwalk” really is.

This was the new feature that turned out to be too strong:

• On Tuesday, August 22, the Warlock received the aspect “Webwalk,” allowing him to move in the in-between realm and becoming significantly more resistant to damage.
• As players tested the aspect, which many did, it immediately became evident: The aspect is extremely strong. People wondered who approved this ability at Bungie.
• On Friday evening, during the Trials of Osiris, Bungie had enough: they disabled the aspect that had been introduced 72 hours earlier until further notice (via twitter).

Aspect was too strong in PvP – Bungie disables it after 3 days

What was the problem? As the site Forbes reports, the impact of “Webwalk” in PvP was simply absurdly strong: it was possible to soak even headshots from sniper rifles. The aspect turned Warlocks into nearly “invincible gods.”

Therefore, they could easily grab an orb and complete the objective in the PvP mode “Rift”; no one was able to stop the Warlocks.

The YouTuber Aztecross shows how the “Glaive“-Killer looked in practice:

It was all over when Warlocks discovered that while “Webwalk” was active, they couldn’t shoot, but could still use melee abilities of Glaives: this meant players were nearly invulnerable yet able to kill opponents with Glaives.

The site Forbes describes them as “Immortal Glaive Ghost Gods.”

Bungie disables aspect after Trials of Osiris commenced

When will it return? That is currently unclear. Bungie stated they are working on the problem.

Notably, the aspect was removed after the PvP event “Trials of Osiris” started: one can assume that Bungie had to pull the emergency brake here, as otherwise anyone able to do so would have used this tactic in the event, leading to significant frustration for everyone else.

Destiny 2 currently has some issues; loadouts are also causing difficulties for players and developers.
