There's a major bug in The Division 2 right now that's seriously damaging the experience for many a player -- ourselves included. The issue causes skills to malfunction, essentially rendering them useless. Instead of throwing out a turret or deploying a drone and having them operate as expected for a set amount of time, this bug forces them to disappear almost immediately after they're used.
Skills are all but necessary tools in the later stages of the game, and being unable to make use of them can make some tougher missions an absolute nightmare. Fortunately, developer Massive is on the case, although it does say that a fix may take a little time.
"Regarding the skills bug: This is our highest priority right now and we understand how incredibly frustrating it can be," the developer states on the game's official forums. "fixing this issue is something we want to do right to not include more bugs with it. That means it's taking a bit longer than we want but the dev team is hard at work to fix this. We're also planning to add other fixes to that patch, which hopefully will have a positive impact for everybody."
Let's hope that the fix arrives sooner rather than later, because as it stands, this whole ordeal is having a major impact on our enjoyment of The Division 2 -- a game that we recently showered with praise.

I ... wondered what was happening to my turret. I just assumed the many enemies could destroy it while it was deploying but this makes much more sense.
Aye, my turret and drone bug out now an again which puts me up sh*t creek without a paddle.
Yup, trying to heal myself with my drone and oops, it's gone 2 seconds later.... My seeker mine rolling inches from it's target and ... Poof!.... its gone...
Annoying!
@ApostateMage or a turret!
I was wondering what the eff was happening to my skills. I had to spam my drone just to get half my shield back. At first I thought the game had been tweaked to make it where the mobs could disable the turret, similar to bosses, but then I tested it in a non-combat situation and poof it just vanished.
Luckily Iโm early in, so slow play keeps me alive, but I want my damn turret!
I wonder why no one has mentioned this before? I have been watching a ton of reviews on this game on YouTube and no one has mentioned it at all.
@ellsworth004 I like it. Missed opportunity there.
I legit thought the enemies who put rc cars down could hack them to make them go away or something ๐ good to know this is a bug now ๐๐
@Tasuki It didn't start happening until recently. I was 30+ hours in before it started to affect me.
@Splat yeah itโs weird, put about 16 hours in and didnโt experience it once. Read about it on Twitter and assumed it was a rare occurrence. Played today and it happened 90% of the time.
Died more times in the last 2 hours than I did in the previous 18.
@BearsEatBeets Yeah, it is really starting to hurt me. I'm a level 27 and getting close to end game. They are throwing a lot at me and not having my trusty turret is awful. The worst part is the enemies still have all their toys to play with.
Geesh when did bugs become so horrible that it becomes "disastrous" and "seriously damaging the experience"? It's a big bug yeah, but it's not like it wouldn't be quickly fixed. But you make it sound like it renders the game unplayable forever.
Nobody is thinking something like this is "Anthem all over again'. Bugs happen, they get fixed. This is like the collective freak out when instagram went down for a bit. Relax.
Stop moaning give them time to patch it.Allen
Game is running perfect on my PS4
