Reputation Bug Stalls Destiny 2 Progress

Destiny 2's Grandmaster Nightfall relaunch has unearthed another reputation bug impacting Warlock players. While Destiny 2 has enjoyed a successful period with new content like Into the Light and The Final Shape, recent weeks have seen a surge in game-breaking glitches. Bungie actively addresses these issues, but new bugs seem to emerge with each weekly reset.

Recent examples include exploits granting free Crucible rewards for AFK players and a bug providing unlimited Paracausal Shots with the Hawkmoon exotic. Warlocks have previously suffered from a Gambit reputation bug, hindering their XP gains compared to Titans and Hunters. This problem now appears to extend beyond Gambit.

The June 25th weekly reset brought back Grandmaster Nightfalls, featuring boosted Vanguard reputation and double rewards. However, Warlocks are experiencing significantly reduced XP gains compared to other classes, despite the double XP event.

Warlock Reputation Bug in Destiny 2

The community has identified this Vanguard reputation double XP disparity, noting Warlocks receive less XP from ritual activities. Many players were initially unaware, only noticing the unusually slow leveling. Surprisingly, this bug may have persisted for months without official acknowledgement from Bungie. Awareness increased last week following the Gambit XP issue.

Currently, players can only increase awareness and hope Bungie addresses the issue. Update 8.0.0.5 addressed many problems, including Ritual Pathfinder adjustments and the removal of Elemental surges from Dungeons and Raids. However, the Warlock reputation bug remains unresolved.
