Here's Destiny 2's List Of Disabled Raid Race Gear As Broken Bugs Pile Up

Here's Destiny 2's List Of Disabled Raid Race Gear As Broken Bugs Pile Up

Forbes19-07-2025
Choir of One
Destiny 2 will be launching its Desert Perpetual raid today, and with that, comes a race to see who can complete it first, a staple of the series. Contest mode for the race, the most challenging difficulty, will be live for 48 hours. Those who complete it will get an emblem and bragging rights, but as for those first completions, that should be later today. I mean, we've had 24 hour races in the past, but I sort of doubt it for this one.
If you're gearing up to head into the Destiny raid today, racing or not, there are a list of disabled items that you'll need to be aware of if you were planning to take them in. The list is not that long at this point, but I'm willing to bet it may grow here in the next few hours. I'm basing it on this Bungie Help post here, but again, I will add more if I need to.
Exotic Armor Perk – Spirit of the Liar (disabled all across Destiny 2)
Weapons: Outbreak Perfected, Third Iteration, Choir of One, Icebreaker
I know that new exotic scout Third Iteration is doing 150% of the damage it's supposed to when you have anti-barrier on it. I know that Choir of One has re-boosted its huge reserves, seemingly by accident. I'm not sure about the other two, however, and Outbreak Perfected is a pretty common choice for exotics in many situations, so that's a bummer.
In a less important move, Bungie has disabled bounty and weapon leveling progression for kills in the raid, as that helps ease server strain (nothing kills a race faster than server strain).

However, needless to say there are still some…concerns with the integrity of the raid race. There was just this dust-up about a rapid farm of the exotic mission Encore which was skyrocketing the power level of players for three days before it was disabled, netting them early access to higher tier gear. What is or isn't turned off in terms of the benefits this gives is a bit unclear, though the new system is meant to be around boosted damage reduction and high damage on the new tiered gear.
Then there are just a million potential oversights from Bungie in terms of how the totally new build system works, with stats now going to 200 and all of them being fundamentally changed in terms of the benefits they bring. I am seeing some new apparently broken build every few hours. One I'm working on is from (frequent World's First winner) Saltagreppo who has an apparently almost unkillable grapple-based Prismatic Hunter build running already. Nothing about that is disabled, for instance.
I've also seen things like new forms of infinity super chaining, and we just don't know what else is going to be pulled out here. Neither does Bungie, I imagine, so it's going to be a free-for-all. Fun? Maybe. But expect the outcome of the race to potentially be controversial.

Today's Wordle #1500 Hints And Answer For Monday, July 28th

How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Sunday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: How To Solve Today's Wordle Well would you look at that! It's Wordle #1500. A fine, round number. We're nearly three quarters of the way through the full list of NYT Wordle answers at this point, though not quite. With roughly 2,300 Wordles, we'll hit the three-quarters mark at about Wordle #1725. That's 225 days from now, or March 10th, 2026. It'll be here before you know it, mark my words! I may as well just warn you to beware the Ides of March now, though I suppose I'd be getting ahead of myself. It's still summer, still 2025. Everything is fine. Let's solve this Wordle! Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer: Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

The Hint: To know, or to be skilled at something. The Clue: This Wordle has a double letter. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Today's Wordle Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. CLOUT was an awful opening guess today, leaving me with 666 remaining words and, well, the mark of the beast apparently. BRAIN only slashed that down to 64, which wasn't ideal in the slightest. SPEAK was better, leaving me with three options to choose from: SAVVY, SAGGY or SASSY. I actually only thought of SAVVY and SASSY and I went with SAVVY because guessing a word with three of the same letter seemed foolish. Thankfully, I was right! Today's Wordle Just like yesterday, I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating me. The Bot once again takes the lead in our neck-to-neck July race: Erik: 8 points Wordle Bot: 9 points The word "savvy" comes from the West Indies Creole form sabi, meaning "to know," which itself comes from Portuguesesaber or Spanishsaber, both meaning "to know." These derive from the Latin verb sapere, meaning "to be wise" or "to have taste." Be sure to follow me for all your daily puzzle-solving guides, TV show and movie reviews and more here on this blog!

Beyoncé surprises fans with Destiny's Child reunion at final Cowboy Carter show

Beyoncé brought the house down Saturday night at the final show of her Cowboy Carter tour in Las Vegas, surprising fans with a Destiny's Child reunion. The Grammy-winning artist closed out her tour Saturday night with the trio performing together for the first time in seven years. Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Beyoncé stepped out in matching gold ensembles, thrilling the crowd with hits like "Lose My Breath," "Bootylicious," and Beyoncé's own song, "Energy." The chart-topping group went their separate ways in 2006 to pursue solo careers but have reunited a few times since, including during Beyoncé's halftime performance at the 2013 Super Bowl and at her 2018 Coachella headlining set, the latter of which was the most recent public performance together. After the show, Beyoncé shared photos of the reunion on Instagram, with fans flooding the comments to express their excitement and disbelief about the rare occasion. Following the Destiny's Child performance, Beyoncé's daughter, 13-year-old Blue Ivy, joined her mother onstage. Blue has been a regular dancer throughout the tour, making her own mark on the show. The Vegas show also featured several guest performances, with Beyoncé bringing out her husband Jay-Z and country singer Shaboozey for brief cameos. The Cowboy Carter tour, in support of Beyoncé's eighth studio album of the same name, kicked off in April at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The Las Vegas performance was the 32nd and final stop on the tour, which included a memorable show in Beyoncé's hometown of Houston, Texas, last month.
