The Destiny 2 Prestige Leviathan Raid has been delayed to next week, developer Bungie today confirmed.
“An exploit has been discovered in the Leviathan Raid that causes the encounters to be stripped of their intended challenge,” Bungie said via statement.
“To allow time to fix this issue, we are delaying the start of the Prestige Raid until next week. It’s important to us that the team who earns World First status doesn’t have their legacy tarnished by doubt, skepticism, or uncertainty.”
While unconfirmed, it’s likely the exploit has to do with the Raid’s final encounter with Calus — of late, players have found a clever way to manipulate regens to stop and grunt units from appearing in the battle.
As you’d probably expect, users took to forums to complain of the delay.
“While the team is fixing the exploit (please do) could they also fix the game breaking glitches that cause player deaths/auto-team wipes,” BlackJack070786 wrote.
“Or you know, you could require video proof that worlds first didn’t cheese the raid and release it tomorrow like expected,” Baxcel added. “Some people I know requested days off work to play it and now that’s screwed. 90%+ of this community dosnt [sic] care for “World’s First” because its the same people who get it every time.”
The Prestige Leviathan Raid will now be available from 4.00 am AEDST on 19 October (10.00 am PST, 18 October).
What do you make of the delay? Not all is lost, mind you — the game’s first Iron Banner event begins tonight at 8.00 pm AEDST.
Destiny 2 is available now on Xbox One and PS4. It heads to Windows PC later in the month.
