The winning clan for the “World First” in the Prestige raid has been determined – however, Bungie awarded a glitching team. This has caused discussions in the reddit forum about Destiny 2.
On October 18th, around 21:00, Bungie officially announced that the first clan successfully completed the Leviathan raid in Prestige mode. The “World First” title goes to “Redeem.” This team has already been among the leaders in several “World First” races and was able to conquer the “Wrath of the Machine” raid in Destiny 1 as the first clan.
As the site guardian.gg shows, the run in Prestige mode lasted one hour and six minutes. According to Bungie, Redeem was therefore four minutes faster than the second-fastest clan. It was a close race.
However, it turns out that the “World First” run was not conducted properly, as has been revealed. One member of the clan used a known glitch. There are no doubts about it – he even admits to using “coil glitching”:
What does Bungie say about it?
The “Coil Glitching” is a known method to quickly obtain lots of power ammunition. You only need the Wardcliff Coil.
This is not a “grave” glitch that ruins the game, but it can still provide significant advantages. Therefore, there is currently a discussion in the reddit forum about whether this was unfair or not.
Bungie has not labeled the glitch as a “forbidden exploit.” Therefore, it should not lead to a ban, but some users believe it could lead to being excluded from the “World First” race.
Some Guardians consider the glitch as a common method that “everyone does anyway.”
Bungie has already reacted to this. Community Manager Cozmo responded on reddit: They have seen the reports that a ammunition exploit was used in the Prestige raid. However, this was not the specific exploit that was the reason for the Prestige raid delay.
In contrast to this Calus exploit, there is no way to immediately identify the ammunition exploit. Because if someone had used the Calus exploit for the World First, Bungie would have recognized it immediately, they announced in advance.
On the night between Thursday and Friday, the three fastest clans will be announced in the “This Week at Bungie.” According to Cozmo, you can then decide for yourself which clan you want to celebrate.
What do you think about it? Should Redeem lose the title again, or do you see this glitch as “harmless”?
Here we show you how to complete the Prestige raid in Destiny 2!
