Destiny 2’s Episode Heresy Update: New Bugs in Old Content, Bungie Yet to Fix

by

Summary

  • Destiny 2 players attempting to catch up on older content have started to run into bugs, making certain activities unplayable.
  • Players are reporting bugs in activities like Onslaught: Salvation from Episode Revenant, Kell’s Fall, Sundered Doctrine, and more.
  • Bungie is aware of the issues but has not provided a timeline for fixes, increasing player frustration over ongoing problems.

Since the latest update on Destiny 2’s Episode Heresy, players have started observing that various older aspects of the game, such as activities launched in Episode Revenant, are now working correctly as intended. As a live service game, Destiny 2 is accustomed to regular updates, whether through quick fixes, seasonal releases, or annual expansions. However, with constant code modifications, the probability of encountering bugs tends to increase as well.

In Destiny 2, Episode Heresy made its debut on February 4th, and players are relishing the reappearance of the Dreadnaught together with the fresh episodic activity called The Nether. This experience is reminiscent of the previous seasonal cycle, allowing players a year to delve into content they might have overlooked. Many anticipate that the summer’s Codename Frontiers expansion will reset the game environment, consolidating episodic content from Echoes, Revenant, and Heresy within the Destiny vault.

Many players of Destiny 2 are diving back into the game, eager to delve into content from past episodes and get up to speed. However, they’ve found that some activities within the game are malfunctioning, either becoming unplayable or failing to function as intended. These issues have prompted a wave of complaints on forums such as Reddit, with users like Umbra4042, who is helping a fellow player catch up, encountering these bugs while playing Episode Revenant’s new Onslaught: Salvation mode. Unfortunately, these glitches are preventing smooth gameplay.

Destiny 2 Episode Heresy Broken Missions and Other Content

Umbra4042 has outlined a list of problems they’ve discovered in Onslaught: Salvation. It appears that the absence of healing regeneration, which might have been carried over from Destiny 2’s Episode Heresy’s new Nether activity, is one such issue. Furthermore, Onslaught Salvation now always has 50 waves, and players are no longer alerted about Major fieldworks at the table, leading to a soft lock. Other commenters have also reported these problems, while some have pointed out issues affecting Kell’s Fall, the Machine Gun Overload mod, the critical spot not working on the second boss of the Sundered Doctrine dungeon, and various other concerns.

As a devoted gamer, I can’t hide my disappointment when I run into issues in Destiny 2, like the soft lock during Kell’s Fall or the unreachable Major Fieldwork missions. It’s reassuring to know that Bungie acknowledges these problems, as their Known Issues page confirms. However, they haven’t provided a timeline for fixing these hiccups, leaving us in limbo and lagging behind.

The community’s frustration seems to be escalating, with many pointing out that Bungie’s 2024 layoffs resulted in a significant chunk of their Quality Assurance team departing. This decision appears to have had a ripple effect, causing numerous major issues in Destiny 2, including those affecting Episode Revenant and now Heresy.
