Bungie has warned Guardians looking to get the most out of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep that there is one in-game issue that could mess up their playthrough.
There has been plenty of news surrounding the launch of the new expansion and the free-to-play New Light version this week.
Before going live, Bungie confirmed there would be problems with servers and accounts during the update process.
And now the game’s support team has also flagged a critical issue that could hit Season Pass players.
By upgrading your in-game Pass to Tier 7, you can unlock the Gate Lord’s Eye Artifact, an essential item.
But problems have been flagged by Bungie that could affect gamers unlocking it during their run-through.
This can happen if you try to claim the item from the menu screen during an activity that locks specific equipment.
Here’s more, via Gamespot, on the issue of unlocking the item and how to avoid it from Bungie:
“We’re investigating an issue where players aren’t receiving The Gate Lord’s Eye artifact at rank 7 if it’s claimed while in an equipment locked activity, like the Nightfall.
“This item should only be claimed after players have confirmed their activity is not equipment locked.”
The Artifact is a great way of boosting your Power Level and is a big part of the current Seasonal launch.
As mentioned above, Bungie is looking to fix this issue which will no doubt come as part of a new Destiny 2 update.
Unfortunately for gamers, we don’t know this might happen or what kind of maintenance will be needed to complete the work.
As ever, it will be worth keeping an eye on the official Bungie social media channels to find out what is coming next.
More on the new Seasonal Artifact and other changes can be found below:
