Destiny 2 brings new season, but must intervene immediately – Disabled mod and skill because Guardians were way too strong with them

Shortly after the start of the season in Destiny 2, guardians can no longer use some options in the game. Bungie had to disable both the Embers of Benevolence Solar Fragment and, a little later, the Pistol Piercing Champion seasonal mod due to issues. MeinMMO tells you why and for how long you have to do without it.

As Bungie-Help announced on May 26th, just 2 days after the start of the new “Haunted Season”, the developer first had to deactivate one of the new Solar 3.0 fragments. Shortly after, it hit an important mod from the seasonal artifact.

The deactivations are specifically:

• the new Solar 3.0 Ember of Benevolence fragment
  • It causes applying Restoration, Cure, or Radiant to allies to grant improved grenade, melee, and class ability regeneration for a short time.
• As well as the Champion Mod “Piercing Sidearm”
  • It causes pistols to gain shield-busting projectiles against anti-barrier champions.

What exactly was the problem with the mod and the fragment? Has the Solar 3.0 Embers of Benevolence fragment only to performance problems within the game and did not work as intended with other sources.

The champion mod “Penetrating Pistol”, on the other hand, really messed up PvP. Once Guardians equipped their pistol with the seasonal champion mod, it was so insanely powerful in the Crucible that it couldn’t just punch through titan barricades or the titan bubble.

Sometimes the pistol bullets even went through walls if players suspected opponents behind them. Basically, as a Guardian, you were never really safe from it.

How long do mods and skills stay disabled? At least for the new Solar 3.0 fragment “Embers of Benevolence”, Bungie has already given an exact date for the fix. This should be brought into play on June 7th and thus also fix the problem.

However, no exact date has been announced for the Artifact Mod “Penetrating Pistol”. Bungie is still investigating the issue. However, since this is one of the important and necessary champion mods against anti-barrier champions, players are hoping that maybe Bungie can fix this bug sooner and not have to wait for long.

Have you noticed and perhaps exploited the Mega Artifact Boost for the Pistol in PvP? Or did you miss that? Despite the two deactivations: Tell us and other MeinMMO readers in the comments what you think of the new Solar 3.0 skills and seasonal mods of the Harvester Artifact from Season 17 so far?
