So, it has to do with packet loss and network chaos (i.e., your connection is having issues between you and Bungie servers) in general.

This error is also widespread, and it is easily hit by one of them whenever they try to play, especially during peak hours or with some network setup.

Troubleshooting may be easy, but for that, we need to identify the reason and some crucial steps that will help in restoring your network. So, let’s get started with the guide.

What Causes Error Code Bee in Destiny 2?

The Error Code Bee is generally caused by problems such as packet loss and network outages.

According to Bungie, the “most common cause is an extremely poor quality or heavily saturated Wi-Fi network,” related devices sharing a connection with Destiny 2 for bandwidth and incorrect router settings.

The issue can get worse if your router has outdated firmware as well.

Steps to Troubleshoot Error Code Bee in Destiny 2

Here are some fixes that will help you analyze and fix the bee error code:

Fix 1: Check Your Internet Connection

Start with all the usual suspects: power cycle your router and disconnect/reconnect your equipment. But still, try switching up from a wireless connection to going wired, too, if you can.

If you are on a wired connection, try instead connecting via Wi-Fi to determine whether the issue persists. If this is the case then this can mean that there is a broken connection.

Fix 2: Use a VPN

If none of the above fixes can help you, then try VPNs. Game servers provide a stable network (so you do not have to worry about NAT types or forwarding ports and the firewall) from VPN Servers.

Once you get it to work through a VPN, just save your current troubleshooting for another day(widget locker)

Note: Free VPNs are a BIG NO.

Fix 3: Stabilize Your Router Settings

Firstly check your router settings whether it’s optimum for gaming or not. Turn off UPnP, because it can often start to get in the way once gaming traffic starts streaming.

If you are using Wi-Fi, use a wired connection instead (Ethernet is most stable in general). Install the latest patches and updates on your router for better security, and performance.

Fix 4: Restart Your Console and Clear the Cache

I am sure all of you know that the file cache for this game is preserved in a form imminently stored in memory.

If the temporary files get corrupted, it can stop you from accessing Bungie and hence the Destiny 2 error code bee. The way around it is to reboot the console and clear the cache.

  1. Press and hold the Power button on your Xbox control panel until it ends up shutting down.
  2. Take your console’s power cable out and press the Power button, then wait for it to discharge. As a result, it will free up the cache and organize Xbox memory.
  3. Plug back in the power cable, and let that light on the console change from white to orange. After this, you will be good.
  4. Power up your Xbox One back, and check if the issue on the Destiny 2 error code bee is solved.

If playing Destiny 2 on PS4 and you receive the bee error code, power cycle and clear cache by hard resetting the PS4. Here’s how to do that:

  1. Firstly, press and hold the power button for 7 seconds in order to hear those beeps.
  2. Disconnect all Power Cords.
  3. Then, press the power button again to release built-up internal energy.
  4. Plug in your supply Cables and Power On PS4 normally. That was all; you can now check and enjoy the error code Bee patched Destiny.

Fix 5: Freeing up Bandwidth

Bungie has also since said that these types of errors can be caused when you consume too much bandwidth yourself with other devices or applications.

Therefore, close any apps you might have open in the background and other devices that don’t necessarily need to be online at this very moment.

This error could very well be resolved if bandwidth is freed up. The steps used to find out the bandwidth hogs are as follows:

  1. Hit CTRL+Shift+Esc on the keyboard simultaneously to open Task Manager.
  2. Click on Network and discover what application is hogging your bandwidth. Find that program, and then click on End task.

The usual suspects are Windows Update, Discord, and Chrome. You can also reschedule the system update for when you’re not using your PS4 and kill all background apps before launching Destiny 2.

Fix 6: Try Servers in Another Region

A few players even claimed that switching to another server could prevent the disconnection.

It could also be due to regional issues, so swapping regions and testing the gameplay is another thing you can possibly do.

This is how we can replace the server in the Battle.net client:

  2. Open the log-in window and use the globe icon to change your region. Then, just sign in as you usually would.

Your connection should now be good, and you can check it from inside of Destiny 2.

Fix 7: Port Forwarding

If you are facing issues connecting to Bungie servers, port forwarding for Destiny 2 on your router can help. So, you need to know which port the Destiny 2 uses in the first place.

PlayStation 4:

  1. TCP: 1935,3478-3480
  2. UDP: 3074,3478-3479

Xbox One:

  1. TCP: 3074
  2. UDP: 88,500,1200,3074,3544,4500

Steam:

  1. TCP: 27015-27030,27036-27037
  2. UDP: 3074,3097-3101,4380,27000-27031

Here we use the example of PS4 users. Step 1) You can see the below link to know how port forwarding is done.

  1. Get the IP Address and turn on your PS4 system.
  2. Afterward, open the Setting on your PS4, and then go to Network > View Connection Status.
  3. Write down the IP Address which is appeared on the screen This is the PS4 IP address you will need while configuring port forwarding. Similarly, you need to write down the MAC address of your PS4.
  4. Now you’re ready to start port forwarding the IP address that was just revealed on your PS4.

Fix 8: Contact Bungie Support
