Bungie disables Telesto from Destiny 2 following Osiris bug testing

The weapon that guards break fate struck again. Bungie announced that it is taking the Telesto Exotic Fusion Rifle offline again in PVP activities after Destiny 2 players were caught exploiting a new bug to demolish their opponents in this week’s Trials of Osiris competitive mode.

“Due to an issue, we disabled the Telesto Exotic Fusion Rifle in all Crucible and Gambit activities and the Thermoclastic Blooming Artifact mod in all activities,” Bungie announced on Twitter.

The “problem” in question is that players have discovered that they can use Telesto to gain almost immediate and unlimited Supers, powerful player abilities that will turn the tide of any match in the blink of an eye. Normally it takes several minutes and a lot of victims to get a super charge. Telesto players did it almost immediately.

That’s because its intricate fusion projectile mechanic collided with this season’s Thermoclastic Blooming mod in a weird way. The mod generates an Orb of Power, which charges super players, whenever an enemy is destroyed with a Stasis or Solar attack. The mini Time Bombs created by Telesto were also found to be enemies, allowing players to fire the Fusion Rifle at an object, watch its projectile detonators appear, and then fire them quickly to generate a bunch of orbs and get their supers right away. .

This is how Infinite Orb of Power glitch worked in realtime:

Reports of a new auto-winning cheat from the Osiris Trials began to spread immediately and Bungie acted quickly and took the feat offline. But this is not the first time that Telesto has done so. In fact, it is already infamous in the destiny community as the most buggy weapon in the game, in part because the game seems to keep recording its projectiles as enemies.

Telesto originally came back in 2015 King caught expansion and moved to Destiny 2 when Abandoned discontinued in 2018. This expansion’s Blind Well activity required players to fill progress counters by defeating enemies. They quickly discovered that they could just shoot Telesto instead. The pistol was also used to cheat across the finish line in menagerie races, occasionally imposed itself on other models of firearms, and was at the center of another super infinite glitch back in 2019. The list keep on going.

That toll also made the Fusion Rifle one of Destiny’s greatest memes. “We’ve been into a Fusion rifle meta-season for over a week and Telesto hasn’t broken anything yet, ”user WildBilly2 wrote on the game’s subreddit. a little over a week ago. The message has since been updated: “Whelp! “

Wrote another player, “At this point, if the final 30th Anniversary Dungeon boss isn’t a Sentient Telesto with the power of all the bugs he’s racked up over the past 5-7 years, I’ll be very disappointed.
