Just yesterday, Bungie released Season of Plunder for Destiny 2. The space pirate themed season has been a fair bit of fun thus far, but it's also had its fair share of issues right from the get-go.
Before it was even obtainable, Bungie noted that they have disabled the new Titan exotic armor, Point-Contract Cannon Brace. No specific reason for it being disabled was provided. There's also no way for any fan to do their own testing to see why it was broken because, again, it was disabled before it was even able to be obtained.
This was just one of a handful of known issues Bungie noted in the time leading up to the start of the new season yesterday.
Today, Bungie had to disable even more content due to issues that have popped up following the start of the new Season of Plunder. A handful of Heavy Grenade Launchers have been disabled due to them doing higher than intended damage. Bungie says that all non-sunset Heavy Grenade Launchers have been disabled excluding: Salvation's Grip, Parasite, and uncommon rarity launchers.
The new season launched alongside a new patch that included what was supposed to be a reasonable 10% damage buff over the previous season. Some users quickly found that some Heavy Grenade Launchers were instead doing 150% or more.
Disabling content like this without a fix ready to go does kind of suck. However, until a fix can be found, developed, and released (which can take time), it's just easier to disable these items. There is also a world's first raid coming up this weekend when King's Fall drops on Friday and having certain pieces of gear be super broken really isn't something either Bungie nor the community want.
