Error Code Weasel: What is It & How to Fix in Destiny 2

This guide will help you fix the Weasel error code.

There are many error codes that you can encounter while playing Destiny 2. While they don’t give away much information based on their name, they can help diagnose and fix problems. Error code Weasel indicates a general networking error, and several factors can cause it. As Destiny 2 is an online game, network stability is necessary for the game to function correctly.

The first step to resolving this issue is to switch from a WIFI connection to a wired one using an ethernet cable connected directly to the router. If the problem does not reoccur, it is likely a WIFI signal strength issue causing the error. To resolve this, you can use a permanent wired connection, such as an ethernet cable or powerline adapter, or move your router to a more optimal location.

If the error code Weasel prevents Destiny 2 from launching, make sure you power cycle your PC or console. Shut down your PC, wait 30 seconds, and then restart it. For consoles, hold the power button for 5-10 seconds until the console resets.

If you are still experiencing Weasel errors after this, consult Destiny 2’s Network Troubleshooting Guide and follow the steps to improve your connection to the servers further.
