How to Fix Destiny 2
Connection Issues

If Destiny 2won't connect or keeps timing out, follow these steps in order. First, check the live status page to confirm whether it's a server-side outage or a local issue.

Step-by-Step Fix

1
Check Bungie Status
Visit @BungieHelp on Twitter/X for the fastest outage updates, or help.bungie.net for their status page.
2
Check your NAT type
Destiny 2 requires Open NAT. Strict NAT will cause matchmaking and loading failures. Enable UPnP on your router.
3
Power cycle your router
Unplug your router for 30 seconds. This resolves many Weasel and Beaver error codes caused by stale connections.
4
Use a wired connection
Destiny 2's networking is sensitive to packet loss. A wired ethernet connection dramatically reduces error code frequency.
5
Clear console cache
PS5: Settings → Storage → Console Storage → System Data and clear system cache. Xbox: hold power for 10 seconds for a hard restart.
6
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 Log into the launcher or check your console's game library — an outdated game version causes connection failures.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 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.
