Destiny 2’s glitch allowing 12-player raids is such wonderful chaosSurely it’s easy with twice as many players? Well…

Surely it’s easy with twice as many players? Well…

Far too many Guardians pose before Atraks-1 and Taniks in Destiny 2’s Deep Stone Crypt raid, using the 12-man glitch.

A newly-discoveredDestiny 2glitch lets players cram so many people into a team than officially allowed, and boy howdy it’s been daft. Smooshing two fireteams together for a 12-person raid? Sure! Hell, I’ve even seen 12 people crammed into the three-player Presage mission. The glitch is tricky to pull off, and presumably will soon be patched out, but I had a grand old time joining a 12-player Deep Stone Crypt over the weekend. It was… maybe the sloppiest and silliest raid I’ve done.

We did have some rare moments of synchronicity, mind. This coordinated mass-planting of raid banners was very pleasing:

If you fancy a go yourself, I’d try sooner rather than later - seems like something Bungie would fix. Instructions arethis-a-way.

A Bungie community manager responded over the weekend:

Twelve what now

If Bungie find the reaction to this glitch encouraging, and it turns out not to have caused too many technical issues, I hope they consider trying more larger Destiny activities. I wouldn’t want to raid like this often, but I have enjoyed modes like Escalation Protocol and Altar Of Sorrow which official let up to nine players together to rain explosions on waves of enemies. (Especially when event modesmake Altar rain candytoo.) Guardians may be Sol’s mightest defenders but mostly we just want to see pretty colours andgoof off with our mates.
