Wild Destiny 2 bug lets you turn on friendly fire in PvE

As a seasoned Guardian with countless hours spent traversing the cosmos in Destiny 2, I can’t help but chuckle at the latest bug that’s got the community abuzz. It seems like every time Bungie adds a new layer to this intricate game, we find ourselves stumbling upon a glitch or two. This time, it’s friendly fire in PvE activities – who would’ve thought?


A peculiar issue with Destiny 2 has been spotted, causing an unexpected behavior: in cooperative player-versus-environment (PvE) tasks, Guardians might end up attacking each other. This glitch allows for melee attacks and even fatal blows against teammates who are part of the same fireteam.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got to admit, Destiny 2 is a masterpiece of intricacy. From the multitude of abilities I have at my fingertips, each one complementing my carefully curated arsenal, to the diverse activities that keep me engaged, and not forgetting the countless exotics I can blend to craft unique builds – it’s a gaming experience like no other!

Whenever I dive back into my favorite game, I always expect a little tweaking here and there from Bungie, as they’re always striving to keep the game balanced with fresh updates. It’s a challenging task, especially considering all the new content they’re adding over time. Sometimes, when they introduce something new or rearrange elements, it can inadvertently let a few bugs sneak in.

Recently, Guardians have uncovered an issue where they can accidentally activate their teammates, regardless of whether they’re engaged in Player versus Player (PvP) activities or not.

In the Shattered Throne dungeon, which usually doesn’t involve combat between players, an anomaly has been discovered. This glitch causes Guardians to physically attack each other and inflict damage on their teammates, much like how it functions in Player versus Player (PvP) situations.

From my perspective, when I encountered a situation where I was being hit, it was clear that the attacker was acting with transparency – a sign that they were loading, likely due to a slow internet connection or similar issue.

While in this state they were able to deal melee damage, letting them take down their teammate.

Additionally, their fellow player also voiced their viewpoint about the issue. On their end, it wasn’t as if they were transparent; instead, they could attack and inflict damage to eliminate the target just fine.

The duo shared a video explaining how a glitch functioned. Using Siphons on your helmet and quickly swapping them creates an overwhelming number of orbs, leading to server slowdowns in puzzling manners. This incident resulted in one Guardian’s death, and upon respawning, they could harm their teammate unintentionally.

The bug in question needs certain prerequisites to function, but with Destiny 2 enthusiasts having a knack for exploiting the game, it’s likely we’ll see this issue more frequently – that is, unless Bungie intervenes to resolve it.
