Destiny 2 error codes can boot you out of the game at the worst possible time or stop you logging in altogether. It might be that Bungie performing maintenance or unexpected server issues are causing a spike in error codes or that there's an issue on your end preventing you from connecting to Destiny 2 properly. That means fixing errors is tricky since they're unpredictable and sometimes not even your fault. With that in mind, here are some common Destiny 2 error codes explained.

Destiny 2 error codes quick guide

A lot of the Destiny 2 error codes don’t have specific fixes as they’re just due to connection issues, that could be on Bungie's side, your side, or even your internet provider's side. While I've laid out some causes and possible fixes for many common error codes below, if in doubt, always try restarting Destiny 2 and power cycling your PC or console.

Next, try checking your own internet connection, and taking a look at Bungie Help for updates – it may be that a Bungie-side server issue is causing persistent error codes for lots of players. Also check our Destiny 2 servers guide in case scheduled maintenance is preventing you from getting into the game. Sometimes when server issues or maintenance are ongoing for Destiny 2, players can receive all sorts of error codes which wouldn't typically be linked to issues on Bungie's side such as error codes cabbage and currant.

If your error code isn't listed, check this Bungie Help error codes page to see any potential fixes for every code. You might also be facing platform error codes while playing Destiny 2, so make sure you know how you can fix any PS5 error codes and PS4 error codes too.

Destiny 2 error code anteater

The anteater error code has no real fix as Bungie describes it as a "general networking error" that can appear when you disconnect from the game, for whatever reason. If anteater persists it might be an issue on your end, so make sure you check your network connection and settings.

Destiny 2 error code banjo

Error code banjo can appear if you are having trouble connecting to or maintaining a connection to Destiny matchmaking servers. This might be just a weird drop causing you to disconnect, so you might be able to just rejoin the matchmaking queue for whatever activity you were in. If banjo is more persistent, try restarting Destiny 2 or power cycling your console.

If banjos are menacing you repeatedly when trying to log into Destiny 2 on a PS4 or PS5, things can be resolved if you try removing your PlayStation Network profile from your console and re-adding it. Your Destiny 2 data won’t be affected, but make sure you’ve got backups of other stuff just in case.

Destiny 2 error code cabbage

If you receive a cabbage error code, this could be because your router settings are blocking Destiny 2's online services. This could be an issue to do with firewalls set up on your router but may also be an issue with your service provider. Check your router's settings for anything may limit your online capabilities and ensure UPnP is enabled. Plugging your PC or console into your router for a wired connection should also help.

Destiny 2 error code cacao

Like anteater, error code cacao in Destiny 2 is a "general networking error". There is no real fix, but if the issue continues, it may be a problem on your end.

Destiny 2 error code calabrese

Oh look, another "general networking error". Calabrese is an error code that can appear when you disconnect unexpectedly from Destiny 2. Check your network settings if you keep getting hit with the Calabrian sausage error.

Destiny 2 error code cat

Error code cat means a new update for Destiny 2 is available and that you need to install it. Quit the game then update it on your console or PC. When you boot the game up again, you should log in without any cats causing problems.

Destiny 2 error code currant

Error code currant often occurs when players are disconnected due to something outside of Bungie's network. That means getting hit with error code currant could be a problem on your end or even your internet service provider's side, so check for any potential problems there. However, as server issues after The Final Shape's launched showed, error code currant can still appear when there are no issues on your end, so keep an eye on Bungie Help if you are repeatedly getting currant errors.

Destiny 2 error code centipede

Error code centipede is a common one as it’s a general networking error, so you might see it if you’re disconnecting from Destiny 2 a lot. This is unfortunately likely to be on your end, so make sure you check that your internet connection is strong enough and in working order – use a wired connection if possible too.

It may also be that your NAT is preventing you from connecting as it’s set to Strict or Type 3. You should get it into an Open or Type 1 state, but restrictions set by your network or internet service provider may make this impossible.

Destiny 2 error code honeydew

According to Bungie, error code honeydew can occur when you try to start an activity that has had its access manually overridden by Bungie. This might happen if an exploit or issue has been found with a particular activity, or if you an activity has been locked prior to a Destiny 2 update or during maintenance. Since this is a Bungie-end error code, there's not really much to be done here aside from checking Bungie Help for any potential issues and updates.

Destiny 2 error code marionberry

Error code marionberry in Destiny 2 can appear if there’s a problem with your network. Brief connection outages can be a cause, but if marionberry error codes are appearing consistently, try closing Destiny 2 and then turning off your router or modem, unplugging it, and leaving it for at least 30 seconds. Replug your router or modem and turn it back on, then reconnect your devices if necessary and try booting up Destiny 2 again. If marioberry codes persist, this could be a hardware issue.

Destiny 2 error code nightingale

Error code nightingale is a pretty minor error code, so you may actually be able to just try what you doing when the error appeared again. If nightingale is persistent, try restarting Destiny 2. Failing that, power cycle your console to clear the cache or verify the game’s files if you’re on Steam or the Epic Games Store – for the Microsoft Store on PC, you’ll want to repair the Destiny 2 app on Windows.

Destiny 2 error code pony

In the past, a bug caused players to get hit with error code pony after receiving invites but this error code can also occur if Bungie is doing some testing. The error ends up booting you from whatever activity you were doing, so Bungie recommends retrying whatever activity you were doing when you got ponied, but if it's a persistent error, you should relaunch Destiny 2. If that doesn't work, check Bungie's help channels for any updates or notices regarding scheduled maintenance or testing.

Destiny 2 error code weasel

Error code weasel usually indicates that you’re having general networking and connection issues. To fix this, you’ll want to check your internet connection to your device and, if possible, switch to a more stable wired connection. If weasel prevents you from launching Destiny 2, power cycling your console might also help.

Error code weasel can also appear if you use Destiny 2 cross save to log in to multiple platforms at the same time on a single account. You may also see this error code appear if you’ve just been served a ban. The error code is a result of the ban, not a cause of the ban, so if you find you have been banned, you probably deserved to get weaselled.
