Summary
Following the initial Episode Heresy update toDestiny 2, players have begun to notice that other legacy parts of the game, including activities introduced in Episode Revenant, are now functioning as intended. As a live service title,Destiny 2is no stranger to frequent updates, whether through hot fixes, larger seasonal releases, or the yearly expansions. Unfortunately, as code continues to change at a rapid pace, the likelihood of bugs also rises.
Episode Heresy launched on February 4 inDestiny 2and so far, players seem to be enjoying the return of the Dreadnaught alongside the new episodic activity known as The Nether. Similar to the previous seasonal cycle, players largely have a year to explore content they may have missed, with many expecting the summer’s Codename Frontiers expansion to kick off a sort of clean state environment, where Episodic content from Echoes, Revenant, and Heresy will be placed within theDestinyvault.
As such, there are plenty ofDestiny 2players jumping back into the game and attempting to catch up by exploring content introduced in the previous episodes. Unfortunately, players have started to realize that certain activities are now broken, rendering them unplayable or unable to be completed as expected. Players have flocked to online forums like Reddit to highlight these issues, including Umbra4042, who is helping a returning friend catch up by playing activities likeEpisode Revenant’s new Onslaught: Salvation mode, though new bugs are making it impossible.
Destiny 2 Episode Heresy Broken Missions and Other Content
Presenting a list of everything they’ve found so far, Umbra4042 has noted that Onslaught: Salvation no longer has healing regeneration, a bug that has likely come over fromDestiny 2Episode Heresy’s new Nether activity. In addition, Onslaught Salvation now defaults to the full 50 waves, and now Major fieldworks no longer prompt players at the table resulting in a soft lock. Others in the comments also confirmed these issues, while others highlighted issues impacting Kell’s Fall, the Machine Gun Overload mod, the critical spot not functioning on the second boss of the Sundered Doctrine dungeon, and more.
The good news is that Bungie is at least aware of some of these issues, as itsKnown Issuespage confirms the soft lock issue from Kell’s Fall as well as the Major Fieldwork missions being inaccessible. Unfortunately, there’s no date for when these issues will be addressed, keeping players from catching up in the meantime. Frustration from players appears to be rising, however, as many highlight the fact thatBungie’s 2024 layoffssaw major portions of its QA staff leave the company, a decision which has seemingly led to multiple majorDestiny 2problems impacting Episode Revenant and now Heresy.
