The brief
A newly discovered exploit in *Destiny 2* allows players to deal near-infinite damage to bosses, rendering them trivial to defeat. Bungie, the developer, has acknowledged the bug but is letting players use it for a limited time before patching it.
Coverage emphasizes the irony of Bungie’s response: while the bug is technically game-breaking, the studio is encouraging players to enjoy it temporarily. Outlets like *PC Gamer*, *Yahoo Tech*, and *GameSpot* highlight the exploit’s absurdity, with some noting that similar bugs have been patched swiftly in the past. *Forbes* frames the situation as part of Bungie’s broader shift toward wrapping up support for older content.
Players are advised to monitor patch notes for the exploit’s removal and the end-of-support timeline for *The Witch Queen*. Rumors about *GTA 6* also surfaced in related gaming news, though no direct connection to *Destiny 2* exists.
