Many error codes can rear their heads to ruin your planned session inDestiny 2. They can be an absolute nightmare, and the Bat error code definitely fits that particular description well. Don’t worry, though, because you can fix it.
Destiny 2: The Final Shapedefinitely didn’t have thesmoothest launch in the game’s history. In fact, it may have been the biggest, but that’s a conversation for another day. Following it and leading into theEchoes Episode, we’ve had lots of new errors pop up to stop us from playing and just sit there like a wall you can see your goal through but have no way to get around. Thankfully, there are some potential fixes you can try.
How to fix error code Bat inDestiny 2
To fixDestiny 2error code Bat, you must play the activity you’re trying to get the most out of in solo narrative mode. The error seems to pop up most when fireteams enter missions and activities with story elements that everyone wants to see, but occurs and prevents anyone from seeing them at all.
You can change your experience to the narrative mission in the director. Just select the story mission mode rather than the matchmaking option, and you should be fine.

This is terrible because the end of Excision and all the cutscenes inDestiny 2are phenomenal. So, naturally, you might want to watch them again in-game instead of having to resort to YouTube. That’s why you need to play these activities like Excision solo, so you don’t miss out on that glorious cutscene magic when it should be all yours for your efforts.
We’re investigating a rise in BAT errors related to players in fireteams being unable to view all cutscenes upon completion of the Excision activity and are put into an infinite loading screen instead.At this time, we recommend playing the activity solo to experience all the…
Note that the error can pop up for other story moments. Excision was the most recent cause of the code following the conclusion ofThe Final Shape‘s race to world first inSalvation’s Edge. You might be seeing it due to another activity, but the fix remains the same.
