Destiny 2 Brought to Its Knees by Ongoing DDoS Attacks Right Before Weekly Reset

  • Destiny 2 has been nearly unplayable for a week due to ongoing DDoS attacks that Bungie has confirmed but can't seem to stop.

  • Player counts have plummeted to extremely abnormal lows, with spikes and valleys indicative of the instability.

  • It's unclear when the attacks will stop or if the perpetrators will face justice, as that rarely happens with gaming DDoS attacks.

  • Players are frustrated Bungie's security can't prevent this, but Bungie is scrambling to get the game back online and stop the player bleeding.

  • This is one of the worst server situations Destiny 2 has faced, coming right before the weekly reset. Bungie needs to resolve it fast.
