Summary

  • Bungie disabled key items like weapons and armor for Destiny 2's Vesper's Host Dungeon Race due to technical problems.
  • Players might encounter Guitar errors if they use disabled weapons during the event.
  • Vesper's Host adds new challenges to Destiny 2, but players must tackle them without certain powerful tools until issues are resolved.

Bungie has shared a list of weapons, armor, and abilities that will be temporarily turned off for Destiny 2's Vesper's Host Dungeon Race because of some technical problems. These Destiny 2 items have been causing issues during the event, so they won’t be available for players to use until the problems are fixed.

Developed by Bungie, Destiny 2 blends both cooperative and competitive gameplay, with its evolving storylines and seasonal updates helping to keep the game exciting and dynamic. Players, called Guardians, take on different missions to defend humanity from alien threats, all while unlocking new weapons and gear. Destiny 2’s Vesper's Host is one of the latest additions to the game, offering new challenges for players to dive into.

Bungie decided to disable these items for Destiny 2's Dungeon Race, a challenge designed to put players' abilities to the test in the new Vesper's Host dungeon. Some of the key items being disabled for this event include the Shadowshot (Moebius Quiver) for Hunters, Peacekeepers Exotic Leg Armor for Titans, and weapons like the Wardcliff Coil Exotic Rocket Launcher and One Thousand Voices Exotic Fusion Rifle. Other weapons, such as Alethonym, Salvation’s Grip, and Tomorrow's Answer, are also affected. Bungie has mentioned that once the issues with these items are resolved, they’ll be re-enabled for all players throughout the game.

Destiny 2's List of Items Disabled in Vesper's Host Dungeon Race

  • Hunter
    • Shadowshot (Includes Deadfall and Mobius Quiver)

  • Titan
    • Peacekeepers Exotic Leg Armor
    • Unbreakable Aspect

  • Weapons
    • Alethonym Seasonal Exotic Special Grenade Launcher
    • Salvation’s Grip Exotic Heavy Grenade Launcher
    • Wardcliff Coil Exotic Heavy Rocket Launcher
    • One Thousand Voices Exotic Heavy Fusion Rifle
    • Tomorrow's Answer Legendary Rocket Launcher
    • Yesterday's Question Legendary Handcannon

  • General
    • Hail of the Storm Artifact Mod

However, in a follow-up post, Bungie let players know that there’s a problem causing some weapons that were supposed to be disabled in the Vesper's Host Contest Mode to still be usable. While players diving into Destiny 2's Episode Revenant can go ahead and use these weapons, doing so might lead to Guitar errors, which are connection issues that can result in the game crashing or disconnecting.

It's not uncommon for Bungie to disable certain weapons in Destiny 2 when potential exploits or game-breaking mechanics are discovered, especially during big events like the Dungeon Race. If players have these items equipped, their Power level will decrease because those items will no longer contribute to their overall Power score once they’re disabled.

Vesper's Host, which is part of the Episode Revenant update, introduces a new challenge for players. This dungeon is in an old BrayTech station orbiting Europa, which is full of mystery and danger. Guardians will explore the station, find dark secrets and strange messages, and fight enemies in a tough environment. Unfortunately, while Bungie works on fixing issues with some items, players will have to tackle the challenges of Vesper's Host without the help of a few powerful tools.
