Destiny 2: Beyond Lighthas been dealing with a few persistent bugs over the past month, the most enjoyable of which has been a bug that allows Guardians to form 12-man Fireteams to take on various content in the game. From Nightfalls to Raids, Guardians have been using 12-man Fireteams inDestiny 2to power through content that was not designed for more than 6 Guardians max.
While many bugs can be fixed relatively quickly, others are more complicated and sometimes require the cancellation of certain game modes until a patch can be implemented. Thecurrent bug surrounding Trials of Osirisis a prime example of a difficult bug that led to Trials of Osiris being canceled. Luckily for Guardians, Bungie did not make plans to cancel any PVE content due to the 12-man Raid bug. From using 12 Guardians to exceed the weight limit of a Fallen Skiff to doubling the number of Fireteam members in a Raid, Guardians found many ways to utilize this fun exploit.

Bungie acknowledged the 12-man Raid bug a couple of weeks ago but mentioned it was not in a hurry to patch the bug, giving Guardians the OK to utilize this exploit while it was in the game. With the August 07, 2025 weekly reset, Bungie released an update that brought theGrandmaster Nightfall activity, as well as patched the exploit that allowed for 12-man Raids. This may be sad news to many Guardians who have been enjoying the overpowered Fireteams, but it’s now one less bug Bungie has to worry about at the moment.
With the 12-man exploit patched, Guardians may be hopeful for a patch for the Trials of Osiris exploit that has keep causing theendgame PVP game modeto be canceled. Bungie has been hard at work to fix various bugs in the game, with many minor issues being patched with the 3.1.1 update that went live today. Bungie has another update scheduled for next week on March 23, that will bring some tuning to Stasis, as well as hopefully patch the exploit affected Trials of Osiris.
Bungie has been able to push out updates much faster due to the reduced file size ofDestiny 2since Bungie implemented theDestinyContent Vault. Improved response time to bugs is a good thing for Bungie, unfortunately it also means removing fun exploits such as the 12-man Raid bug. Many Guardians are hopeful that 12-man activities will make their way to the game in some official capacity consideringBungie was not in a hurry to patch the exploitto begin with.
