A new serious bug has been discovered in Destiny 2 that allows Warlocks to use their Super for an unlimited amount of time. However, the Destiny community is taking it with humor and celebrating the new glitch.
What have Guardians discovered? Destiny 2 has been struggling this season with numerous glitches and bugs that drive some players crazy, while for others, they can increase the fun factor.
A new bug was discovered last night. Even though many Guardians see it as “gamebreaking,” the error is currently causing a lot of laughter. The community is taking it with humor and celebrating the glitch and Season 9 as the “Season of Bugs.”
What exactly does the bug do? The bug has become widely known on social media and Reddit, however, we will not provide a detailed guide here, as it also works in PvP.
It allows Dawnblade Warlocks with the bottom and top focus tree to use their Super essentially indefinitely after it has been activated. The Super only ends when you stop spamming the Super attacks, and can then be reproduced without any issues.
This makes it possible to complete entire missions, strikes, or other content with a continuously active Super. This was demonstrated by exceptional talent Esoterickk, who ran the entire Whisper mission for the sniper “Whisper of the Worm” completely with an active Super – of course solo.
According to initial reports, this bug can also be reproduced without any issues in PvP.
What triggers the bug? Without describing it in detail: This time no armor exotic or any special weapon is responsible. The bug is simply part of the Dawnblade Warlocks and can be triggered by a simple mechanic.
How are players reacting? The community takes it with humor. Although there are one or two players who are genuinely annoyed by the new glitch or the seemingly increasing frequency of bugs in Season 9, most comments take this error with humor.
For example, it was mentioned by well-known Destiny blogger shackleshotgun: “Dawnblade weekend emblem, here we come…” This is a reference to the special emblems that Bungie once awarded for the overpowered phases of weapon exotics like Lord of Wolves and Prometheus Lens.
The PvP ace Frostbolt says: “I’m dying of laughter. PvP creators, unite – we have content!”
MarcoStlye, who now plays Destiny alongside The Division, notes: “It’s time to secure the Legend rank this season.”
And Twitter user seyywhat summarizes it well from Bungie’s perspective and referencing the frequent deactivations recently: “Due to discovered issues, we are deactivating Warlocks until further notice until a server-side hotfix is provided.”
Some players on Reddit are also making fun of it and wondering what Bungie could possibly do quickly this time – ban the Warlocks? After all, there is no exotic or anything else that can be removed from the game if necessary.
Others refer to it as the Season of Bugs or the Season of Disabled – also referencing the frequent problems and deactivations throughout Season 9.
How is Bungie responding? The studio itself has not yet released a statement. However, the community manager dmg04 responded to the tweet from Gladd, who highlighted the bug widely, with a funny GIF.
How and when exactly the developers will respond to this issue is unknown, but Bungie has obviously already become aware of the error. So it can be assumed that players will not be able to play around with the new Warlock glitch for long.
Why “Season of Bugs”? Several times this season, there have been overpowered exotic weapons like the Wishender bow, too powerful mods, or some exotic armor pieces that had unintended effects on the game and therefore had to be deactivated.
Although Bungie regularly releases updates and hotfixes for Destiny 2, with every bug that is fixed, it seems like several new ones surface in the eyes of numerous Guardians. As soon as Bungie announces the fixing of a bug, one can almost be sure that several new errors have emerged or that the problem has worsened, according to the opinion of many players.
Therefore, many are now also calling it the Season of Bugs in Destiny 2.
What do you think of this bug? A nice and funny gameplay element for a break, or an absolute no-go? Will this bug be fixed in time for the Valentine’s Day event?
