Bungie rolled back efforts to immortalize Monty Python in Destiny 2 this week, after players found a way to exploit the new emote, marking the second time a D2 exploit made headlines in October. But the issues with the latest dance in the Eververse catalogue aren’t nearly as severe as exploit found in the first Destiny 2 raid. This time, a (partial) solution was much easier to deploy.
Each week the Destiny community can purchase different goods from Eververse Trading Company, the in-game faction that sells Silver (one of two currencies accepted by trader Tess Everis) for real world currency. Last week, an emote called Bureaucratic Walk, which pays tribute to Monty Python’s classic Ministry of Silly Walks sketch, was added to Everis’ inventory sheet. But the admittedly stellar rendition of the popular skit was quietly pulled from the Eververse store on Monday morning after D2 players published themselves glitching through numerous walls with the dance. Anyone who bought Bureaucratic Walk before it was pulled still has access to the emote, which suggests the studio is probably going to fix the dance rather than permanently remove it from the game. But there’s no way to know how long we’ll have to wait for Bungie to deploy that solution.
We’re also still waiting for Bungie to fix the Emperor Calus exploit that surfaced earlier this month. The studio says it can tell who is using the exploit to clear Leviathan’s final encounter, and which teams are finishing Destiny 2’s first raid the “right” way, but Bungie still doesn’t have a hard timeline for a solution. Outside of verifying the first team to complete the Prestige raid doesn’t utilize the exploit, it’s all not clear whether Bungie will take additional action to punish players who took Calus’ adds out of the equation when running Leviathan. The exploit forced the studio to delay the Prestige version of the raid once already; however, Bungie says the new deadline (Wed, Oct. 18) won’t be pushed back any further. And the harder version of Leviathan will be waiting for PC gamers when Destiny 2 charges onto Battle.net next week.
Destiny 2 is currently available on PS4 and Xbox One. The game hits PC on Oct. 24.
