Bungie is keeping track of any upcoming reports in the Help Forum over at the site, and sharing any issues that arise via the Top Issues article. Luckily, none of the aforementioned Destiny 2 Witch Queen bugs are game-breaking, but they can affect the experience severely depending on the activity you’re running and your current equipment.
Considering both the new expansion and Season of the Risen are releasing, it doesn’t come as a surprise to see issues ahead of time. At the very least we know what to expect, so plan ahead accordingly. In the meantime, best of luck on your quest to defeat Savathun.
