Game-Changing Breakthrough: Bungie Announces Epic Resolution to Infamous Destiny 2 Hunter Exotic Bug

Bungie has confirmed that they will be addressing a long-standing bug affecting the Liar's Handshake exotic in Destiny 2's upcoming season 22. As a live service game, Destiny 2 receives regular updates and new content, such as the recent Solstice event that allows players to participate in the Bonfire Bash activity, earn specific loot, and complete challenges at the EAZ destination. However, frequent updates can sometimes introduce new bugs and exploits, and since its launch in 2017, Destiny 2 has experienced numerous issues, particularly with the Telesto Fusion Rifle. Bungie actively releases fixes and updates to address these problems, even disabling problematic items. Nevertheless, a bug linked to the Hunter exotic Liar's Handshake has persisted for over a year, causing frustration among players.

In a recent thread on the Destiny 2 subReddit, a user called AMM0D pointed out that the exotic perk Cross Counter on Liar's Handshake does not activate when the Gathering Storm super is equipped instead of Arc Staff. Essentially, when a player gets hit by an enemy, Cross Counter should activate and allow the player to retaliate with a strong melee counterpunch that also provides healing. Unfortunately, this issue has been affecting Hunters for over a year and was initially noticed during the Witch Queen's Season of Plunder.

But there is some hope on the horizon. In response to a different subReddit post discussing a long-standing bug related to the Warlock's Restoration duration, the official Destiny2Team account not only confirmed that fixes are in the works for Child of the Old Gods and the Celestial Fire melee, but also announced that an update is planned for Liar's Handshake in Destiny 2 Season 22. The news was well-received in the comments, with many understanding that the fix may be complex and hence the reason for the delay.

The recent update came as a surprise to many Reddit users. Just earlier this week, Bungie, the game developer, emphasized their reduced communication on social media to ensue the safety of their employees from harassment and threats. This precautionary measure was initially announced last year, but it seems that the situation hasn't improved enough for the developer to feel comfortable. Recently, the comments section of their Lightfall video had to be disabled due to an influx of toxic and harassing replies targeted at the developers.

Destiny 2 is currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
