A new game-breaking glitch in Destiny 2 has been found that lets players melt raid and dungeon bosses in seconds.
Destiny 2 players are no strangers to bugs and glitches. From the infamous Prometheus Lens “Laser Tag” weekend to the chaotic Craftening incident, and more recently, the controversial perk-weighting situation, the game has a history of bugs that create chaos (and fun) for players.
While these exploits are usually patched quickly, they often provide an exciting window of opportunity for players to wreak havoc before order is restored.
Now, a new glitch has surfaced, and it might just be one of the most broken ones yet. This exploit allows players to melt raid and dungeon bosses almost instantly. If you thought the recent Sentinel Titan super was broken after the launch of Revenant Act 2, wait until you hear about this one.
Destiny 2 Warlock Stasis Super Glitch
Destiny 2 players have discovered a new glitch with Warlock’s Winter’s Wrath Stasis Super in combination with the Ballidorse Wrathweavers Exotic Arms. While the exact mechanics of this glitch remain unclear, here’s what we’ve tested, and it works:
- Player 1: Shadebinder Winter’s Wrath Stasis Warlock with Ballidorse Wrathweavers Exotic Arms and the Retinal Brun Artifact perk.
- Ballidorse Wrathweavers’ exotic perk: Hearts of Ice – Targets frozen by your Winter’s Wrath Super take increased Shatter damage. Allies in range of your Winter’s Wrath shockwave and Frostpulse gain Frost Armor and deal increased damage with Stasis weapons. Granting these buffs to allies grants you Super energy.
- Player 2: Thunderlord Exotic Heavy Machine Gun with its catalyst, or Anarchy Exotic Grenade Launcher.
- Player 3: Ex Diris Exotic Grenade Launcher.
Update November 26, 2:50 AM: This exploit no longer works as Bungie has disabled the Ballidorse Wrathweavers Exotic Arms. The developer shared an update on the official Bungie Help X (Twitter) account.
“Due to an issue where more damage can be distributed than intended, the Warlock’s Ballidorse Wrathweavers exotic has been disabled until a fix can be implemented. Updates will be provided when available.”
You can find this glitch in action below.
Here’s how it works:
To make it work, Player 2 and Player 3 continuously spam their weapons—Thunderlord, or Anarchy, and Ex Diris—on the boss. Meanwhile, Player 1 spams their Shadebinder Stasis Super, freezing the boss repeatedly. This combination seems to cause an unusual interaction between the buffs, supers, and debuffs, making chunks of boss’ health disappear.

For solo players, while it’s challenging to one-phase a boss using this glitch, it’s still possible, as shown in the video above. To pull it off, you’ll need to play as a Shadebinder Stasis Warlock equipped with Ballidorse Wrathweavers Exotic Arms, the Retinal Brun Artifact perk, and the Anarchy Exotic Grenade Launcher.
Start by unloading a full magazine of Anarchy into the boss. Once that’s done, activate your Winter’s Wrath Super and repeatedly use its left-mouse-click attack to freeze and deal damage.
If done correctly, you’ll notice massive chunks of the boss’s health bar disappearing in seconds. While the exact mechanics of the glitch remain unclear, the synergy between Ballidorse Wrathweavers and Stasis freezing appears to be essential for it to work.
As of now, Bungie has not commented on this exploit, but it’s likely the developer is already investigating it. If you want to experience this wild glitch for yourself, now’s the time—before it inevitably gets patched.
In related news, Bungie has launched significant discounts on all Destiny 2 expansions and DLCs as part of this year’s Black Friday sale. If you’ve been considering trying out the critically acclaimed The Final Shape expansion or starting your journey as a New Light, now is the perfect time to jump in.
