Common problemDestiny

Destiny 2 lag, high latency and packet loss

Busy network, Wi-Fi or old hardware

Damage lands late and players or enemies rubber-band. Bungie names high latency and packet loss as the main causes, often from network congestion, Wi-Fi, distance or old or damaged network hardware.

Is Destiny down right now? Operational: 12 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.
Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Remove other devices from your network and pause downloads while you play.

  2. Switch from Wi-Fi to a wired connection.

  3. Check for firmware updates for your router and modem.

  4. Ask your internet provider to check your modem signal levels while you are playing Destiny.

  5. Contact your provider if the slowdown is on their network.
