If you’ve ever tried to equip an item in Destiny 2 but couldn’t, or realized it somehow had zero power, it’s likely because the item has been disabled.
The disabling of items happens on occasion within Destiny 2, and it can be an annoying issue for players trying to use their favorites at any given time in Crucible or PvE activities. But don’t fret because it likely won’t be disabled for long. Here’s everything to know about disabled items in Destiny 2 and what it means for the game.
Destiny 2 disabled items, explained
On April 10, 2024, players logging into Destiny 2 were met with a message that mentioned disabled items, leaving many players confused as to its meaning, especially since many Destiny players quickly skip the messages that pop up.
The disabled items message was an update to a situation that’s been common in Destiny 2 for years. Occasionally, items or features within the game are glitched and need to be disabled for the time being before a major patch is deployed.
“Occasionally, due to various issues, items can be disabled in Destiny 2,” Bungie’s help site says. “These items may be disabled in specific activities, or may be disabled game-wide. Disabled items cannot be equipped, and if an item is already equipped by a player as it gets disabled it will contribute zero Power to their total Power level.”
Bungie disables items in Destiny 2 with good reason; they were either compromising the integrity of the game or breaking the game in some way. Nothing is ever disabled without cause, and the list on the dev’s website is updated accordingly.
