TLDR: There's a bug in Prophecy right now that makes motes disappear at 5x stacks, making the encounter impossible (soft-locked) and forcing a wipe to continue
Here's everything I know about the cause:
- This only happens to me in Prophecy -- other dungeons and other activities seem unaffected (although I haven't tried Grasp; might be similar because of how Burden is similar to Motes?)
- I've never encountered this before this season (even in a former abilities-only solo on solar 3.0)
- I've only encountered this on Arcstrider 3.0 (although I do not play Warlock or Titan)
- This has happened at Phalanx Echo and Hexahedron multiple times over the period of the entire season, despite multiple Xbox and internet resets
- This is the furthest into the glitch I've gotten; usually when my motes disappear I just wipe and reset
- Swapping subclass, weapons, armor, did not work; wiping immediately fixes the issue
Symptoms:
- Motes disappear at 5x
- Third-person actions do not put you in third-person
- Weapons disappear
- Combination Blow does not gain stacks or reset
- Dodge does not interact with melee
This glitch seems similar to the cannon glitch in Destiny 1, which is most notably used to solo Aksis on non-warlocks. I am not an expert in cannon glitch, but here's my understanding of how the glitch works:
- You can create "clones" of something (yourself? the cannon?) by repeatedly picking up and dropping (spamming) a cannon
- There are ways to make the effects of the glitch more consistent by taking damage after spamming the cannon a certain number of times, holding out the same weapon when you spam the cannon, and switching equipped armor after interacting with mechanics
Cannon glitch effects include:
- You stop receiving the "charge lockout" debuff
- Third-person actions do not put you in third person
- Weapons disappear
- Armor and weapons do not behave as expected (e.g. swords don't heavy attack, armor perks lose functionality)
- Interactions with other glitches (e.g. Felwinter Glitch)

so -blam!- glad I'm not the only one. I've been trying to get solo flawless and this is literally breaking it. I even thought maybe it was my mouse malfunctioning, because I have "switch weapon bind" on the scroll wheel and my weapons would just disappear all together. I got a new mouse because of this. Is there a way to report directly to bungie support team? Or just through here? also proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoI8QFEWyrI&t=7s&ab_channel=CmdrRiotz

This also happened to me in both prophecy and grasp. And I am also on x box so I don't know if this bug also happens on PC or ps4 I am also an ark strider hunter.
