Bungie has disabled certain pieces of gear for the 48-hour contest mode within the Salvation's Edge Raid in Destiny 2. This is a known occurrence during the launch of any new or returning Raid, as the company tries to balance the competition for the World's First title by disabling broken items, such as Exotic weapons, armor pieces, super abilities, Fragments, and more.
The company has assured that players can get them back after the contest mode wears, with the weekly reset of June 11, 2024, at 10 am PT. For additional information, readers can tune in to the official blog post, TWID, on June 5, 2024, through Bungie's website followed by the game's page.
Disclaimer: At the time of writing this article, Bungie is updating its disabled list as the Raid grows closer. This article will be updated accordingly.
