This Week in Destiny - 06/22/2023

Moin Moin (That's "Hello" in German), Guardians. This week in Destiny, we are going fishing! All over the world, Guardians have fallen in love with those little fishies. So, this week we have something special for you! But first...

In case you missed something, last week we talked about:

• Pride at Bungie 2023 recap and a free emote.
• A nice little sandbox Q&A to dive a little bit deeper into some of the most frequent burning questions.
• Iron Banner is back with Eruption.
• Fashion contest picks for #DrownInTheDrip.
• PlayStation x Destiny 2 crossover art roundup.

So, this week we will dive in the following stuff:

• Throne World fishing rally.
• Bungie Day Giving Festival announcement.
• What's new from our Player Support Team.
• Weekly #Destiny2AOTW and #Destiny2MOTW picks.
• With no further ado, let´s get into it:

Get the fishies and the loot!

To start this TWID off we have a tip for all who haven´t found out yet: you might want to visit Hawthorne. We heard that her people found something in the fishing ponds in the Throne World.

Go and spend some time there and see what bites! Remember you gotta catch ´em all. Have fun fishing, Guardians!

KNOWN ISSUES

While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of the latest issues that were reported to us in our #Help Forum:

• We are aware of an issue where the "Battle Rhythm" Seasonal challenge incorrectly instructs players to defeat targets anywhere in the system. This challenge can be successfully completed in Crucible, Gambit, or Vanguard Ops playlists.
• The Strand Slayer Crucible bounty is not progressing from Strand Primary weapon kills.
• Players can die from finishers if the enemy dies before the finisher animation completes.
• The "Efficient Angler" Seasonal cChallenge is progressing inconsistently.
• The Crucible Competitive placement series does not drop the Mercurial Overreach Sniper Rifle.
• Due to an issue, the Kephri's Horn Exotic Titan Helmet has been temporarily disabled.
• The Helm of Saint-14 Exotic Titan Helmet is not functioning as expected.
• Players can get stuck outside of the final boss arena after self-reviving in the Ghosts of the Deep dungeon.

For a full list of emergent issues in Destiny 2, players can review our Known Issues article. Players who observe other issues should report them to our #Help forum.
