Destiny 2 grants a Flawless Completion if a fireteam manages to clear a dungeon without suffering any deaths, but this most recent bug provides a work around for that. Should players spawn in at the checkpoint directly prior to the boss fight and defeat it without dying, they will get a Flawless Completion.

It’s worth saying that even this is still challenging, as a good understanding of the boss’ mechanics and a solid foundation of teamwork is required to defeat him without any deaths. Even still, it is far easier than clearing the whole dungeon without anyone dying even once.
There is an important caveat, however. Destiny 2 offers players a triumph for completing the Pit of Heresy with no deaths, and another for completing it solo. Finally, there is a special emblem which can only be attained by completing the challenging dungeon under both conditions, solo and with no deaths. The new bug which allows players to bypass most of the dungeon will not help with this, as the Flawless Completion seems to only affect the player’s stat tracker and doesn’t register as such for meeting the conditions of the triumphs and emblem. This means players will have to get those rewards honestly.
In truth, this is less of a bug in the Pit of Heresy and more just an oddity in Destiny 2’s stat tracking system. This method will work in nearly any dungeon in Destiny 2, as so long as the player spawns in at the last checkpoint and defeats the boss without any deaths they should qualify for a Flawless Completion on the stat tracker. Though some players may see this as an opportunity to get a few Flawless Completions on their record with relative ease, most simply see this as proof that the stat tracker is still broken and its numbers mean virtually nothing.
Public reaction to the bug has been mostly negative, as most players recognize that a fake time or Flawless Completion is really nothing to brag about. Furthermore, this isn’t the first time that the stat tracker in Destiny 2 has had issues, so the new bug has brought up some old frustrations among many.
Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
