Destiny 2: Why were Pyrogale Gauntlets disabled?
With seemingly little notice, Pyrogale Gauntlets have been disabled leaving players unable to use their loadouts. Here’s why Pyrogale Gauntlets were disabled in Destiny 2 and when you can expect them to return.
It isn’t uncommon for Exotic armor and weapons to be disabled in Destiny. With such a huge pool of different Exotic options, it’s almost natural that bugs will pop up requiring Bungie to intervene.
In Season of the Witch alone it has already been discovered that Tessellation can fire infinite Irreducible shots and Malfeasance is dealing unthinkable damage courtesy of the Hand Cannon artifact mod.
Since those bugs mostly affected PvE they have been left untouched for the time being, but the same cannot be said of Pyrogale Gauntlets with Bungie feeling the need to swiftly disable the Titan Exotic.
Overview of Pyrogale Gauntlets’ intended effects in Destiny 2.Why were Pyrogale Gauntlets disabled in Destiny 2?
On September 6, Pyrogale Gauntlets were disabled by Bungie following the discovery of multiple game-breaking bugs in Iron Banner.
By using the Consecration Solar aspect with Pyrogale Gauntlets, Guardians could slam into a zone and glitch it out if they either secured a final blow or damaged their own Barricade. The glitched zone would then reward an absurd amount of points when captured effectively winning the game.
This glitch also had some powerful interactions in specific PvE content. For example, it could be used to block enemy spawns in Duality’s first encounter and freeze the swinging lanterns in Crota’s End.
When will Pyrogale Gauntlets be re-enabled in Destiny 2?
Bungie has confirmed that Pyrogale Gauntlets will be re-enabled on September 19, 2023. This confirmation was posted on the official Bungie Help Twitter account shortly after the Exotic was disabled.
