In this guide, we’re diving into how to fix the Destiny 2 error code Weasel in 2024.

Destiny 2 error code ‘Weasel’ happens during a general network connection issue. But unlike other error codes, it can appear during other instances. 

Echoes Act 3 dropped a ton of exciting content for Destiny 2 players, including new Void weapons, powerful artifact perks and new missions. But while some connection issues stem from too many players on the server, error code Weasel doesn’t.



Destiny 2 error code Weasel causes

Destiny 2 developer Bungie classifies Weasel as a “general networking error” that pops up due to various issues.

Error code ‘Weasel’ usually means your system can’t connect to servers because of your internet. But the dreaded screen also appears when you log into your account on multiple platforms at the same time with cross-save enabled.

The Destiny 2 Weasel error code is also shown when a player gets banned mid-activity. But it’s worth noting that it’s never the cause of the ban. More on that on Destiny 2’s Account Restrictions and Banning Policies page.

Switch to a wired connection

The official error code page recommends switching from WiFi to rule it out as the main cause. 

This is a generally good rule when you run into any problems like lag (or in this case, a general connection issue). But if the error code prevents you from even launching Destiny 2, it’s time to power cycle your console.

Power cycle your console

Your game console stores temporary files in a cache to make each start-up process more efficient, but this data can get corrupted overtime, causing big issues with starting your game. 

Power cycling your console lets you start fresh with a new connection process, potentially fixing error code ‘Weasel’. 

To do this, hold the power button for 5-10 seconds until your system resets. 

And that’s how you deal with Destiny 2 error code ‘Weasel’.
