One of the latest Exotic weapons that was added toDestiny 2turned out to be so broken that Bungie ended up disabling it in all endgame content, including raids and the PvPvE Gambit mode. The problematic piece of equipment arrived as part of the Lightfall DLC at thestart ofDestiny 2Season 20.The Lightfall expansion forDestiny 2released on February 28, adding a wide variety of new content and a number of quality-of-life changes to the popular game. As is the case with most major updates to complex software such as MMO shooters, the new DLC also introduced quite a bit of bugs that Bungie is currently trying to address, including a weird glitch that can lead toDestiny 2players getting stuck inside a mapafter using a certain ability.RELATED:Destiny 2 Developer Clarifies Plans for Chat ImprovementsOne of the most recently uncovered such issues appears to revolve around the Winterbite Exotic Glaive that’s given out as a reward for completing the lengthy Welcome to the Hall of Heroes quest line. Namely, it turns out that this particular weapon can deal insane amounts of damage to bosses due to an unspecified glitch that the developers are currently attempting to fix. While it’s still unclear what exactly triggers this newly reported bug, numerous player reports from social media claim the Winterbite Exotic Glaive can essentially reach infinite DPS during anyDestiny 2boss fight.
Given how this state of affairs turns the Winterbite into boththe bestDestiny 2Glaiveand an utterly broken weapon in its own right, Bungie ended up disabling it in all endgame content, including raids, dungeons, and the Gambit mode as of March 4. The studio has yet to provide an update on its efforts to resolve this issue, though it historically managed to fix DPS bugs in a matter of weeks, so anyone eager to use the Winterbite inDestiny 2endgame content likely won’t have to wait too long to be able to do so again.
Glaives are a class ofDestiny 2weapons that was originally introduced as part of The Witch Queen expansion back in early 2022. Bungie designed them as spear-like armaments in a presumed bid to address frequent fan requests for more melee options in its hit co-op shooter. However, balancing this weapon class continues to be quite a challenge for the developer, as underlined by a recently discovered method ofdealing 600% increased damage with anyDestiny 2Glaive.
Destiny 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
