Things haven't gone according to plan in Season 15 so far.
Destiny 2 Season 15, also known as Season of the Lost, is finally here. Promising players plenty of new loot, two new seasonal activities, and a rich story that sets the stage for the upcoming Destiny 2: The Witch Queen expansion, Season of the Lost sounds like it might be the best Destiny 2 season yet. Unfortunately, things have started off a bit rocky with Season of the Lost, as many players are experiencing a wide range of annoying bugs and glitches.
Thankfully, Bungie is working hard to track and fix these issues as quickly as they can, and we're taking note of all the major issues that the studio is warning players about (as well as any quick fixes that players can use). Here's what you need to know about all of the current known bugs and launch issues for Destiny 2: Season of the Lost.
