How do I fix game connection issues?

Start by checking GamerOutage.com to confirm whether the issue is widespread. If it is, the problem is server-side and you need to wait. If reports are low, try restarting your router, switching to a wired ethernet connection, and checking for game updates.

Step-by-Step Fix

Check Bungie Status

Visit @BungieHelp on Twitter/X for the fastest outage updates, or help.bungie.net for their status page.

Check your NAT type

Destiny 2 requires Open NAT. Strict NAT will cause matchmaking and loading failures. Enable UPnP on your router.

Power cycle your router

Unplug your router for 30 seconds. This resolves many Weasel and Beaver error codes caused by stale connections.

Use a wired connection

Destiny 2's networking is sensitive to packet loss. A wired ethernet connection dramatically reduces error code frequency.

Clear console cache

PS5: Settings → Storage → Console Storage → System Data and clear system cache. Xbox: hold power for 10 seconds for a hard restart.

Check for updates

Destiny 2 patches frequently. Log into the launcher or check your console's game library — an outdated game version causes connection failures.

Is it a server outage?

Check the live report chart — if dozens of players are submitting, it's on Bungie's end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Destiny 2 down right now?

GamerOutage.com tracks real-time Destiny 2 player reports. The live chart above shows if reports are spiking — a spike usually means Bungie's servers are struggling.

What does the Destiny 2 Weasel error mean?

Weasel means you were disconnected from Destiny 2's servers. It can be caused by a server outage, your internet dropping briefly, or high packet loss. Check this page and @BungieHelp to confirm if it's server-side.

What does the Destiny 2 Bee error code mean?

Bee indicates a local network issue — Destiny 2 can't reach Bungie's servers due to something on your end. Try power cycling your router, switching to ethernet, and checking your NAT type.

What does the Destiny 2 Bat error code mean?

Bat is a server-side error meaning Bungie's servers are unavailable or overloaded. It's most common at the start of a new season or major content drop. Check @BungieHelp on Twitter and wait for the servers to stabilize.

Why does Destiny 2 kick me to orbit during activities?

Getting sent to orbit mid-activity usually means either your connection to Bungie's servers dropped (Weasel, Bee, or Cabbage error) or the activity host left. If you see an error code, look it up at help.bungie.net for the specific cause.

Still lagging? Upgrade your router.

A dedicated gaming router reduces ping and prevents disconnects.
