Destiny 2's recent update unintentionally reset a large number of player usernames, leaving many Guardians with generic "Guardian[Random Number]" tags. This widespread issue, first reported around August 14th, stemmed from a malfunction in Bungie's name moderation system.
Bungie's Response and Compensation
Bungie swiftly acknowledged the problem on Twitter (X), stating they were investigating the unexpected name changes caused by their moderation tools. The issue affected a significant portion of the player base, frustrating those who had used their names for years without incident.
The developers quickly identified and fixed the underlying server-side problem, preventing further accidental name changes. As a gesture of goodwill and to allow players to reclaim their preferred names, Bungie announced plans to distribute free name change tokens to all players. Further details regarding the token distribution are expected soon.
What to Do if Your Name Was Changed
Players whose Bungie Names were altered should remain patient. Bungie is actively working to resolve this and will provide updates on the name change token distribution timeline. There's no immediate action required beyond waiting for the free tokens.
