Destiny 2’s final content update threw so much into the shooter that something was bound to break, and break it did. An upcoming patch will fix a “near infinite damage” bug introduced by the Monument of Triumph update, but the developers at Bungie have decided to drag their feet on the fix to let more players have a taste of godlike power.
“While we’re planning a fix (next week likely), we think this is a bit fun,” the Destiny 2 team said on X. “Go ahead. Get out there, beat up on Atheon. Destroy some bosses. Do your thing.”
The bug, which Rory describes how to exploit here, allows players to stack multiples of the same seasonal Artifact perks, achieving unreasonable damage output.
Bungie is disabling Artifacts in PvP modes for now so that players aren’t falling victim to what the studio is calling “The Artifactening,” but the game’s bosses aren’t so lucky.
“Do some crazy stuff,” Bungie concluded. “Send us your videos. Have some fun. Be Brave.”

The Monument of Triumph update brought back another way to cheese bosses, too: Punting them into the abyss.
The beloved technique is being deployed in The Pantheon, in which players fight a series of raid bosses back-to-back. As our friends at GamesRadar spotted, player Esoterickk has demonstrated how to send The Pantheon’s version of Morgeth sailing over the edge of the arena for an uncontested victory.

“It wouldn’t be a Destiny release if you couldn’t bump a boss off a ledge,” Bungie comms manager dmg04 said on X.
