Guardians from Destiny 2 are currently unintentionally disguising themselves as residents of Neomuna. Just like them, the players are now merely silvery-shining shadows of their former selves. Bungie is aware of the issue and has now announced both a fix and schedule changes. MeinMMO ensures that you stay up to date.
What problem is currently occurring in Destiny 2? Normally, Guardians in Destiny 2 find it cool to be invisible. Enemies can be misled this way, and one can escape from critical situations.
However, being invisible is less fun when, for example, in a PvP match, almost all Guardians – including the enemies – are invisible. Exactly this is currently the case, and it is not a show of solidarity from the players towards the residents of Neomuna.
This usually happens after activities where one has been praised by other Guardians for the new appreciation system or has opened the appreciation tab themselves.
- Both the enemies and most teammates suddenly become only glassy buddies in PvP, barely visible and even harder to hit.
- In some cases, one’s own crosshair can also disappear, or even the entire weapon becomes invisible.
Understandably, this is a significant problem, especially in team-based PvP activities. However, players report that the bug often occurs in PvE as well. Bungie has been aware of the bug since it became known.
On March 4th, the developer already announced via Twitter that they are working on a solution and also provided players with a temporary workaround for their problem:
“We are investigating an issue where some player characters and weapons become invisible after repeated interactions with the commendation screen following an activity. It is recommended to restart the game app to fix this issue.”
However, this only temporarily fixes the problem and does not guarantee that it won’t happen again two matches later. Many players have therefore decided to currently avoid the Crucible until Bungie can fix the issue.
However, with the fix, changed schedules come into effect, so the start of the Iron Banner has been postponed, and the Trials of Osiris have been brought forward.
Invisibility is supposed to end on March 16
Hotfix schedule shifts the Iron Banner: In the weekly blog, Bungie has now gone into more detail about the invisibility issue and made further announcements for the Crucible.
These do not only include information for the hotfix but also a schedule shift for the Iron Banner and the Trials as well as news about both events in the coming week.
Regarding the issue, Bungie shared the following this week:
The fix [for the invisibility bug] is set to go live on March 16 – two days after the start of the Iron Banner. However, we don’t want our Iron Banner premiere to start with two days of invisible Guardians – or for anyone playing Iron Banner to have to restart Destiny 2 every hour. So we are making the difficult decision to postpone Iron Banner by a week.

These are the newly scheduled PvP dates:
- The “Trials of Osiris,” the PvP endgame, now starts on March 17 (previously March 24)
- The Iron Banner event now starts on March 21 (previously March 14)
Between the first week of Iron Banner, which ends on March 28, and the second week of Iron Banner, which begins on April 4, there will only be a one-week break. Fans of Lord Saladin should be pleased with this.
Expect even more information: Bungie also announced that Guardians can expect a double dose of Crucible information in the upcoming “This Week at Bungie” blog, which will be released on March 16. This means there will be additional or even new details about the Trials and the Iron Banner that will come into play in the ongoing Season of the Resistance.
Are you glad that this pesky invisible bug is finally being fixed? Or did you enjoy confusing your opponents with the transparent look in PvP? Feel free to leave us a comment with your opinion.
At least the raid was not affected by the invisibility bug, and thus the guardians could have an exciting but also short race:
