Destiny 2 uses animal error codes to indicate connection issues. These often signal server problems or network instability.

Matchmaking failures or queue errors

Long queue times, failed activity launches, or 'Contacting Destiny 2 servers' messages indicate server stress.

Inventory or character not loading

When servers are degraded, inventory, bounties, or character data may fail to load properly.

Weekly reset or maintenance downtime

Destiny 2 has scheduled weekly resets and periodic maintenance that temporarily take servers offline.
