Destiny 2 recently faced one of the most significant bugs in its history. Bugs have always been present in games. While developers do their best to provide the smoothest possible experience, it’s 99.99% at best. Even Starfield, which was hyped as Bethesda’s least-buggy game, has its fair share of glitches. And on a similar note, Destiny 2 has a bug. Surprisingly though, fans are enjoying it.

In an update on the situation, the devs at Bungie mentioned their plans to fix the bug. Upon hearing this, many fans changed their opinion on the exploitable bug. While the bug was a major concern of the player base, the news of fixing the bug changed their perspective. Many realized how the bug introduced new excitement to the game and the community was left divided again.

Players are unhappy about the Destiny 2 bug fix

The bug allows players to create weapons with game-breaking perks, resulting in overpowered gameplay experiences. This bug affected both player vs. environment (PvE) activities and player vs. player (PvP) modes. Players could exploit the bug to merge weapon frames, such as putting shotgun frames on auto rifles. This unconventional combination drastically reduces the time-to-kill in PvP, making it extremely unfair for opponents. This made PvP game modes extremely chaotic and fans started raising their concerns on social media.

The devs at Bungie have finally addressed the bug and have started to implement changes. The first of multiple updates has been released and fans have mixed feelings about the fix. Bungie announced they will temporarily disable a few selected exotic and legendary frames. And players will notice the same change for the perks added to the guns in the game.

Many players decided that they would like to see the bug return as a feature. Meanwhile, one player believes that the bug was fun for a while but should not be a permanent addition to the game.

Another user posted a poll asking the crowd if they would miss the bug. Most of the replies to the poll voted “Yes”, sharing the community’s opinion with the devs at Bungie.

Among all the glitched weapons, the one that was most discussed was the shotgun. One player mentioned how their crafted assault rifle merged with the shotgun is now a normal weapon. They went on to mention how “the bug was fun while it lasted”.

It is not too often that players get to see such game-breaking bugs post the release of the game. Under the rare occurrence that it happens, players remember the bug as a significant part of the history of the game. While many players started by complaining about the bug, others were sad to hear about the fix.
