Destiny 2 bug confirmed

Bungie confirms a bug in Destiny 2 after the Edge of Fate update that significantly increases boss damage to Titan Bubble and Warlock Well of Radiance.

Destiny 2 Titan Bubble and Warlock Well Suffer Massive Boss Damage

Bungie has confirmed a bug in Destiny 2 that makes Titan Ward of Dawn (Bubble) and Warlock Well of Radiance take far more damage from bosses than intended. Players observed 2700% increased damage for Bubble and 500% for Well, with resilience no longer applying since it was removed in 9.0.0. The studio called the issue an unintentional oversight and said a fix is in progress. The information comes after community data noted on Destiny Data Compendium and shared in the r/DestinyTheGame subreddit.

The Edge of Fate expansion brought major changes, including Portal and Armor 3.0, but it also introduced a string of bugs such as movement speed issues and other stealth nerfs. Bungie’s reply on the official Destiny 2 Team account reiterates that the bug was not a nerf and that it will be corrected soon. In a related development, Sony executives outlined how Bungie is gradually integrating with PlayStation Studios, signaling a shift in governance while patch timelines remain unclear.

This bug highlights how large game overhauls can create fragile balance. When key protections disappear from the system, a patchy fix cadence can erode player trust just as quickly as a balancing patch. The cadence problem matters because players rely on consistent behavior from core tools like bubbles and wells in high-stakes combat. Transparency around timing and scope becomes part of the product, not just a side note.

The move toward closer collaboration with PlayStation Studios adds another layer to the patch picture. Independence once celebrated during the Bungie takeover now sits alongside a growing integration that could influence resources and timing for fixes. For players, the question is not only when the bug will be fixed but how quickly a company can translate lessons from a major update into reliable, predictable updates.
