Thanks to a newly discovered bug,Destiny 2players are starting to lose emotes due to what many see as an invisible cap on how many can be owned at one time. Over the six years thatDestiny 2has been available, the popular shooter has been no stranger to bugs and glitches. Some have been relatively minor such as visual animation issues that were seen with some Hunter capes and cloaks, while others have managed to be highly publicized and game breaking such as theHunter Strand super dealing crazy damage.
The exotic fusion rifle Telesto has been the cause of an alarmingly long list of issues over the years, though some updates thatDestiny 2has received have also had unexpected consequences. Certain exotic weapons and hear have been disabled for a set length of time while Bungie worked on a fix. In fact, just recently theOne Thousand Voices exotic seems to be impacted by a damage bugwhen paired with the Radiant or Well of Radiance buff active. While not quite as alarming, oneDestiny 2player has seemingly come across another unintended issue with the game’s UI.

In a new post on theDestiny 2subReddit, a user named Its-Dooz seemingly confirmed that there seems to be a hard cap on the number of emotes a player can have unlocked. The discovery was accidentally stumbled upon by some of their friends called Snerv, Qip, BulkerGamer and Σχ şlαy3r, who saw that some of their green and blue rarity emotes were starting to disappear after hitting page 13 and 512 emotes in total. Thankfully, the missing emotes aren’t deleted and can still be swapped through theDestiny 2mobile app, but there appears to be a hard limit inside the game’s menus.
Surprisingly, the official Bungie Support Team account took note of the post and provided a replay saying that this is actually an issue and not intended functionality that the studio is currently investigating. While that should put player’s minds at ease, especially those that have been collecting emotes since the game’s launch, the replies seemingly went in a different direction. Plenty thanked the responsiveness, but many also criticized the studio for how fast it seemed to jump on a minor issue like this whenDestiny 2currently has many other perceived issues like the framerate problem giving certain enemies like theThresher ship the ability to one shotDestiny 2players.
It’s unknown if and when the framerate damage issue will be fixed, though it is something that has plaguedDestiny 2for a long time. Still, Bungie has proven that it does listen to fan feedback, with the most recent example being a hotfix update thatincreased the drop rate of exotic items inside Legendary and Master Lost Sectors. This has been a big sticking point with players since Lost Sectors became the only true way to farm newer exotic gear.
Destiny 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
