Destiny 2 Forsaken Raid Glitch Has Been Patched by Bungie
By Nicholas Barth ·
Bungie has patched the Destiny 2: Forsaken raid glitch that was allowing players to obtain raid loot before the activity had gone live.
The upcoming Raid for the Forsaken expansion of Bungie's first person shooter in Destiny 2 is currently scheduled to go live on Friday, September 14th. However, some Destiny 2 players were able to discover a glitch that allowed them to go inside of the Raid area for the upcoming Destiny 2: Forsaken activity and find a chest that awarded loot that should not be available until Friday.
Destiny 2: Forsaken players were able to get inside of the Raid zone that takes place in the new location of the Dreaming City by glitching through the environment in Rheasilvia. Players could then continue the Destiny 2 glitch by traversing their way under the ground with some platforming and jumping skills.
YouTube channel Underplayed Creations put together a video showing how players can use the new Destiny 2 glitch in order to get the Raid specific loot that will be officially coming to the popular first person shooter from Bungie this Friday. You can find the video guide for the glitch below.
However, Bungie took quick notice of players using this unintended glitch to score some unreleased Forsaken loot early and have patched the exploit to where the chest is being suppressed until it can be isolated for only Raid activities. Players who utilized the Destiny 2 glitch will however be able to keep the loot that they acquired from the exploit and no bans will be handed out to players who used the Destiny 2 glitch.
"Players have found their way into Raid spaces and claimed gear from bonus chests. Those chests are being suppressed until we can properly isolate them to Raid activities. None of the rewards they have granted will be rescinded," said Bungie in the announcement regarding the exploit being patched.
If you were one of the lucky players who were able to use the Destiny 2 Raid glitch in order to collect some Forsaken loot that was intended to not be available for another four days before it was patched you are in luck, as you do not have to worry about losing your newly acquired weapons or armor or having your account banned.
