How to Fix Error Code WEASEL in Destiny 2

According to Bungie’s official support page, a WEASEL error is a sub-genre of networking error. Basically, a WEASEL error can occur when something went weird either on your personal wi-fi connection or something serverside, though it’s usually the former. WEASEL errors can also occur if you try to log onto Destiny 2 on multiple platforms with Cross Save enabled on your account, and you could be kicked to the main menu with a WEASEL error if you’re slapped with a ban on your account.

To remedy a WEASEL error, Bungie first suggests switching to a wired internet connection instead of a wireless one, if available. This should improve the stability of your connection. After that, they recommend you try power-cycling your game console/PC. With a sturdy connection and a fresh boot, minor problems should be swiftly remedied.
