One of the best parts ofDestiny 2is the vast armory of weapons. Combining different blades and guns with a class' powers to find the best combinations is a lengthy, but worthwhile endeavor. With severalweapons already definingDestiny 2’s 10th season, it’s well known what to skip and what to grab by now.
One group that has changed significantly over time isDestiny 2’s collection of swords. Taking different roles in combat over the game’s lifetime, there have been several changes to them. This has left players scrambling to figure out how to use blades in new roles more than once. Of course, this beingDestiny 2, not all the blade uses are what the developers intended, especially when bugs get involved.

One player, who goes by the handle Leaf, discovered a new glitch with the swords. Originally using the glitch withDestiny 2’s Falling Guillotine, Leaf later discovered it extends to other swords. The glitch works as follows: when going through a load zone, wield a sword with no ammo. The game supercharges the player and gives the sword full ammo, but the player won’t see it. This means when they swing the sword, it only shows the animation for having zero ammo, even with a heavy attack. This allows players to swing fast for huge damage until they run out of invisible ammo.
Needless to say, the blades that can perform this glitch automatically rank amongDestiny 2’s strongest swordsfor now. It is apparently possible to pull off the glitch during raids as well, but the method is complicated and doesn’t provide good dividends. The above video hints that there is also a way to pull off the glitch for multiplayer, but again, the benefits aren’t worth it.
While this bug is particularly powerful, and lets the strongest swords melt enemies fast, it may not be reliable. Bungie has been cracking down quick on bugs and exploits that make the game too easy. Not long agoBungie killed AFK Forge Farming, and with video evidence on display, the company knows what to look for. The era of the Invisible Heavy Attack will most likely be a short one.
With that in mind, players are encouraged to get out there and use this one before its gone. As mentioned before, this glitch can be used for most swords and it is very entertaining. Now is the time to swing swords and take names before everyone switches to the Ruinous Effigy. After all, whenan exotic is crazy enough to spawn melee weapons, why carry one with you?
Destiny 2is available for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
