Destiny 2 'crouch' or 'slide' bugged on Seraph’s Shield mission for some (potential workarounds)

Developed by Bungie Inc., Destiny 2 is a free-to-play massively multiplayer video game that is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows.

Played in the guise of a superpower guardian, one can perform different activities to level up and upgrade their gear. The Operation: Seraph’s Shield
is an exotic mission for gamers that can also help farm XP.

However, like any other video game, Destiny 2 is not immune to various bugs and issues. For instance, we have covered a problem where the game’s Seasonal Artifact mods were bugged for some.

Destiny 2 ‘crouch’ or ‘slide’ bugged on Seraph’s Shield mission

Some Destiny 2 players are experiencing a glitch in the Seraph’s Shield mission which is preventing them from completing it. Reports suggest that they are unable to crouch or slide after picking up the scanner buff.

With the new exotic equipped and running the legend mode, myself and a friend had it so our B buttons on Xbox stopped working when out of menus. So no crouching or sliding or class abilities.

After picking up first scanner buff, you can no longer crouch/slide. Something to do with the scanner buff, at least solo, is making it too where you can not crouch.Now I did this on one one and after running around the room aimlessly to crouch in the vent I got it to work

Frustrated players have taken to social media to express their concerns regarding the issue. In some cases, even the drones don’t spawn for them.

The issue restricts their movement and makes them unable to get into vents in the environment. Making matters worse, the problem occurs multiple times during the mission resulting in a terrible gaming experience.

Potential workarounds

There are some potential workarounds that players can try if they are experiencing the same issue. According to reports, binding the crouch button to a different key has helped some players resolve the issue.

Another gamer stated that going to their roster and then coming back from the menu helped curb the issue for them.

A Redditor also mentioned that switching weapons quickly fixed the bug for a friend, so affected players can give it a try for a potential fix.

It appears that simple troubleshooting steps like restarting the game or reloading the mission can also help mitigate the problem.

We hope that Destiny 2 players get a solution to the issue where crouch or slide are bugged in the Seraph’s Shield mission. We will keep an eye on this story and update it to reflect the latest developments.
