Destiny 2 Officially Disables Meta Exotic Weapon in One Activity

Destiny 2’s final hotfix is confirmed for tomorrow, July 7, and it disables a popular Exotic weapon in one key activity. Destiny 2’s abrupt end has been strange to witness for fans, who went from expecting news about the upcoming expansion, Shattered Cycle, to seeing the announcement that end-of-service was following a final update on June 9. Things moved so quickly that after not even one full month since the final update, Bungie is now releasing the final hotfix for the game, and any future issues will likely not be addressed or result in items being disabled.

Destiny 2 is Officially Disabling Divinity in Pantheon

Destiny 2’s official comms Twitter account shared a post with a preview of tomorrow’s patch notes, stating that the Exotic trace rifle Divinity will be disabled in Pantheon 2.0’s Insurrection Prime encounter. This is due to a recently discovered issue that allowed players to sit at the spawn point of the encounter and use Divinity’s weakening cage on the boss to then shoot it without even doing the encounter’s mechanics. What followed was that LFG posts were all about using this strategy to skip the encounter’s mechanics entirely, and players not abiding by the specific instructions and loadouts were kicked out of the activity. Now, Bungie is disabling Divinity entirely in the Insurrection Prime fight, and players will no longer be able to use it, even if they follow the mechanics.
