Destiny 2's Desert Perpetual raid launched with a 48-hour contest mode. Several items, including the Choir of One weapon and Spirit of the Liar exotic armor perk, are disabled to ensure fair gameplay. However, concerns remain about potential exploits; a recent power-level farming glitch was patched, but other bugs and unintended build combinations persist, potentially impacting the race's integrity and outcome. Technical issues like sound problems on PS5 further complicate the competition.
