Destiny 2 Cabbage Error Fix: Complete 2026 Guide

All Updated 100% Working fixes for the Destiny 2 Cabbage Error based on the officiel Bungie’s Error Codes docs.

You loaded into the Tower, started a strike, or tried to join your Fireteam, and Destiny 2 threw error code CABBAGE in your face instead. Every other guide you have found tells you to open your router and start changing settings.

Destiny 2 Cabbage error fix complete 2026 guide
Error code CABBAGE has appeared in Destiny since 2014 and returned in force with The Edge of Fate in June 2026.

Before you do that, you need to know something most guides will not tell you: CABBAGE sometimes has nothing to do with your router. Bungie’s servers can produce this exact error on major update days and expansion launches, including the June 2026 release of The Edge of Fate, and no router change in the world fixes a server-side problem.

This guide starts with a triage check, then gives you every technical fix in the correct order, from ISP modem settings through UPnP, port forwarding, and DNS changes, alongside a complete reference for every Destiny 2 error code currently in the game.

Is This Bungie’s Fault or Yours? A Triage Decision Tree

Triage Alert: Before you touch a single router setting, check help.bungie.net and the BungieHelp account on X. If Bungie is actively investigating a CABBAGE wave, no router change will help. This is especially common on the day of a major update or new expansion launch.

Use the table below to identify which situation you are in before doing anything else.

Quick Tip: CABBAGE has been part of Destiny since the original game launched in 2014 and has followed the franchise into Destiny 2. The error is so persistent because the name of the error, the way Bungie writes it in all capitals, has not changed since then, even though the actual causes have expanded over the years to include ISP modem firmware, double-NAT configurations, and DNS issues that did not exist in the same way a decade ago.

What Is Error Code CABBAGE in Destiny 2?

Error code CABBAGE is a network error in Destiny 2. According to the official Bungie Help page at help.bungie.net, it may occur when router settings block communications to or from Destiny services. Bungie itself acknowledges that it is investigating the impact on various devices, which means the company does not treat this as a purely player-side problem.

This is what the CABBAGE error looks like when it kicks you from a Destiny 2 activity.

The error does not mean your internet is broken. It does not mean your account has a problem. It means that somewhere between your device and Bungie’s servers, traffic is being blocked. That blockage can happen on your side, in your ISP modem, your personal router, or your NAT configuration, or it can happen because Bungie’s servers are under load or experiencing a technical issue of their own.

Bungie specifically names Technicolor and Thomson routers as brands most commonly associated with CABBAGE errors, though the error can appear with any brand of modem or router, depending on how it is configured.

Quick Tip: The Edge of Fate, Destiny 2’s expansion that launched in June 2026, produced a wave of CABBAGE errors on day one, consistent with every prior major content release. If you started getting CABBAGE specifically after this expansion launched, check BungieHelp on X first before spending time on router changes.

The Hotspot Test — The Fastest Way to Diagnose CABBAGE

Hotspot Test: Run the hotspot test first. Switch your device to your phone’s mobile hotspot and try to launch Destiny 2. If the game connects normally on the hotspot, the problem is in your home network or ISP modem. If you still get CABBAGE on the hotspot, the issue is with Bungie’s servers or your account.

The hotspot test is the fastest diagnostic available, and it costs nothing. It tells you in under two minutes whether your problem is in your home network or somewhere else. Players on the Xfinity community forum have documented this exact test, connecting a desktop to a mobile hotspot to confirm that Destiny 2 ran without errors, proving that the ISP-provided equipment was the source of the CABBAGE error, not the game or Bungie.

 Diagram showing how to run the hotspot test to diagnose Destiny 2 CABBAGE error
If Destiny 2 connects on mobile hotspot but not on home internet, the problem is in your home network.
  1. On your phone, open Settings and enable the Mobile Hotspot or Personal Hotspot feature.
  2. On your PC, PlayStation, or Xbox, disconnect from your home Wi-Fi or wired connection and connect to your phone’s hotspot instead.
  3. Launch Destiny 2 and attempt to load into an activity or the Tower.
  4. If the game connects without CABBAGE, your home network or ISP modem is the source of the problem. Follow Steps 2 through 8.
  5. If CABBAGE persists on the hotspot, the problem is either on Bungie’s servers or something specific to your account. Check BungieHelp on X and contact Bungie Support if the error continues.

Quick Tip: Mobile hotspot traffic bypasses your home network, your ISP modem, and any router firewall settings. This is why it is such a clean diagnostic: it eliminates every home-network variable in a single test.

Step 1: Check Bungie Server Status Before Touching Your Router

If the hotspot test showed CABBAGE still appearing, or if you prefer to check server status before running the test, the first stop is Bungie’s own channels.

  1. Open help.bungie.net and look for active investigations or known issues listed on the page.
  2. Go to the BungieHelp account on X (formerly Twitter) and check for any recent posts about CABBAGE errors, server instability, or known connectivity problems.
  3. If Bungie has posted about a CABBAGE wave or is actively investigating an issue, your only action is to wait. There is nothing in your home network to fix.
  4. If BungieHelp shows no active issues and you still get CABBAGE, the problem is on your side and you should continue through the steps below.

Checking the BungieHelp account on X takes one minute and can confirm whether Bungie’s servers are the issue.

Bungie has used the BungieHelp account on X to announce increased CABBAGE errors and empty Tower instances during past content releases. The announcement of an active investigation is the clearest possible signal that a router change will not help you today.

Quick Tip: Bookmark both help.bungie.net and the BungieHelp account on X. On any future patch day or content release, checking these two places takes less than one minute and can save you hours of unnecessary troubleshooting.

Step 2: Check Your ISP Modem for Advanced WiFi Security

This step is the one most guides skip entirely, and it explains a large number of CABBAGE cases that persist even after enabling UPnP and forwarding ports. ISP-provided modems, particularly those from Xfinity (Comcast), Spectrum, AT&T, and Virgin Media, include aggressive traffic security features in their firmware that can block the specific traffic Destiny 2 relies on.

ISP or BrandSetting to FindWhat to Change
Xfinity (Comcast)Advanced Security in the Xfinity app or Gateway settingsDisable Advanced Security or temporarily pause it to test if it resolves CABBAGE
SpectrumSecurity Shield or Advanced WiFi Settings in the My Spectrum appDisable Security Shield temporarily and test Destiny 2
AT&TSmart Home Manager, Network Security settingsDisable or pause network security scanning for your gaming device
Virgin MediaAdvanced WiFi Security in the My Virgin Media Hub settingsDisable the security scanning feature and test
Generic ISP modemAny setting labelled Advanced WiFi Security, Advanced Security, or Network Security ScanningTemporarily disable and test; re-enable if CABBAGE persists
 ISP modem management interface showing Advanced WiFi Security setting to disable
Advanced WiFi Security in ISP modem firmware is one of the most common causes of persistent CABBAGE that router UPnP fixes cannot resolve.
  1. Open the management app or web interface for your ISP-provided modem (typically accessed through the app or at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in a browser).
  2. Look for any security setting labelled Advanced WiFi Security, Advanced Security, Network Security Scanning, or similar.
  3. Temporarily disable this setting.
  4. Launch Destiny 2 and test whether CABBAGE is gone.
  5. If the error clears, the security feature was blocking Destiny 2 traffic. You can either leave it disabled or check your ISP’s documentation for a way to whitelist gaming traffic.

Quick Tip: If your ISP modem does not have a web management page at a standard IP address, call your ISP and ask whether your equipment has any Advanced Security or traffic filtering features that affect gaming traffic. Many ISP support agents can disable these remotely.

Step 3: Fix Double-NAT If You Have an ISP Modem and a Home Router

Double-NAT Warning: If you have both an ISP-provided modem and your own router, you likely have double-NAT.This means two separate devices are both performing NAT on your connection, which reliably triggers CABBAGE. The fix is to set the ISP modem to bridge mode or DMZ mode, turning off its NAT so only your own router handles it.

Double-NAT is one of the most common and least understood causes of persistent CABBAGE errors. Bungie’s own help page warns against connecting to Destiny through a router connected to another router, but does not name it as double-NAT or explain why it happens.

Diagram showing double NAT setup and bridge mode fix for Destiny 2 CABBAGE error
Double-NAT happens when both an ISP modem and a personal router perform NAT. Bridge mode removes the modem’s NAT layer.

In most homes with ISP-provided equipment, the ISP modem performs NAT on the connection. When a player adds their own personal router for better Wi-Fi coverage or more control, that personal router also performs NAT. The result is two layers of address translation, and Destiny 2 traffic frequently fails to pass through both correctly.

How to Fix Double-NAT

  1. Log in to your ISP modem’s management interface.
  2. Look for a setting labelled Bridge Mode, IP Passthrough, or DMZ.
  3. Set the ISP modem to Bridge Mode. This turns off the modem’s NAT function and passes the public IP directly to your personal router.
  4. If your modem does not have Bridge Mode, use the DMZ option instead. Set the DMZ host to the IP address of your personal router. This exposes your personal router directly to the internet, allowing it to handle all NAT on its own.
  5. Restart both devices and test Destiny 2.

Quick Tip: If you are unsure whether you have double-NAT, check your personal router’s WAN IP address in its admin panel. If the WAN IP starts with 192.168 or 10.x, you have double-NAT. A real public IP address from your ISP should appear as a non-private address.

Step 4: Enable UPnP on Your Router

UPnP Security Note: Enabling UPnP is the simplest fix but it opens your router to automatic port mapping requests, which is a security trade-off. If you are security-conscious, use port forwarding instead. Do not enable both UPnP and port forwarding at the same time.

UPnP, which stands for Universal Plug and Play, allows Destiny 2 to automatically negotiate the port access it needs from your router. Bungie recommends UPnP as the easiest solution for most players who are not experiencing ISP modem or double-NAT issues.

  1. Open your router’s admin panel by typing its IP address into a browser. Most routers use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.
  2. Log in with your router’s admin username and password. These are often printed on a label on the bottom of the router.
  3. Look for a section labelled UPnP, often found under Advanced Settings, NAT, LAN, or Firewall.
  4. Enable UPnP and save your changes.
  5. Restart your router and test Destiny 2.

UPnP in the router admin panel allows Destiny 2 to automatically negotiate the ports it needs

If you use a Technicolor or Thomson router and cannot find the UPnP option using these steps, skip to Step 7 below, which covers the specific steps Bungie recommends for those router brands.

Quick Tip: Once UPnP is enabled, you can confirm it is working by checking your router’s UPnP status page, if one exists. It should show active port mappings for Destiny 2 after you launch the game.

Step 5: Use Port Forwarding Instead of UPnP (Safer Option)

If you prefer not to use UPnP for security reasons, or if UPnP did not resolve your CABBAGE error, manual port forwarding is the alternative. Port forwarding tells your router to send specific types of traffic directly to your gaming device, without the automatic and open-ended nature of UPnP.

  1. Open your router’s admin panel and navigate to the Port Forwarding section.
  2. Create a new port forwarding rule for each port in the Destiny 2 ports table below.
  3. Set the internal IP address to the local IP address of your gaming device (your PC, PlayStation, or Xbox).
  4. Set the protocol to UDP unless specified otherwise.
  5. Save each rule and restart your router.
  6. Test Destiny 2 after the restart.

A port forwarding rule for Destiny 2 on PC requires UDP ports 3074 and 3097 pointed to your gaming device’s local IP.

See the Destiny 2 Ports by Platform table later in this guide for the exact port numbers to use for your platform.

Quick Tip: Before creating port forwarding rules, give your gaming device a static local IP address, or set up a DHCP reservation in your router. This prevents the device’s IP from changing on restart, which would break your port forwarding rules.

Step 6: Change Your DNS Servers

Your DNS servers translate website addresses into IP addresses that your devices can use. If your DNS servers are slow, filtering traffic, or failing to resolve the addresses that Destiny 2 needs to access, this can produce a CABBAGE error even when your router settings are otherwise correct.

  1. On PC, open Settings, then Network and Internet, then your active network connection.
  2. Find your DNS server settings and change the primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare).
  3. Set the secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4 (Google secondary) or 1.0.0.1 (Cloudflare secondary).
  4. On PlayStation, go to Settings, then Network, then Set Up Internet Connection, and choose Custom to manually enter DNS servers.
  5. On Xbox, go to Settings, then General, then Network Settings, then Advanced Settings, then DNS settings.
  6. After changing DNS, open an elevated Command Prompt on PC and run these commands to flush your existing DNS cache.
  7. Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter, then type ipconfig /release and press Enter, then type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
  8. Relaunch Destiny 2 and test.
 DNS server settings showing Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and Cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1 for Destiny 2
Changing DNS to Google or Cloudflare resolves CABBAGE errors caused by ISP DNS filtering or slow resolution.

Quick Tip: DNS changes take effect immediately on most platforms. If you relaunch Destiny 2 and still get CABBAGE, wait two to three minutes after making the change before testing again, as some devices cache DNS settings briefly.

Step 7: Specific Steps for Technicolor and Thomson Routers

Bungie specifically names Technicolor and Thomson router models as more prone to error code CABBAGE than other brands. These routers are commonly provided by ISPs in Europe and Australia, and their default security and firewall settings are particularly aggressive about blocking Destiny 2 traffic.

  1. Log in to your Technicolor or Thomson router admin panel through your browser.
  2. Navigate to the Firewall section and create a new Firewall level. Name it Destiny 2.
  3. Navigate to the section labelled Game and Application Sharing or similar and enable UPnP.
  4. Find the Extended Security setting and disable it.
  5. Find any setting labelled Assigned Games and Application and disable it.
  6. Save all changes and restart the router.
  7. Connect your console or PC directly to the router using a wired Ethernet cable rather than Wi-Fi.
  8. Test Destiny 2.
Technicolor router admin panel showing firewall and UPnP settings for Destiny 2
Technicolor and Thomson routers require specific firewall level and UPnP steps named by Bungie as the fix for CABBAGE.

Setting names on Technicolor and Thomson routers can vary between firmware versions. If you cannot find a setting with the exact name listed above, check your router’s manual or search for your specific model number alongside the setting name for updated instructions.

Quick Tip: Some players in Italy, the UK, and Australia using Technicolor ISP modems have resolved CABBAGE permanently only by asking their ISP to replace the modem entirely with a different brand. If none of the Technicolor steps work, this is a legitimate escalation path worth asking your ISP about.

Step 8: Wired Connection and Basic Connection Fixes

After all the more specific fixes above, these foundational steps should also be in place. Some players find that one of these basic changes resolves CABBAGE without any router configuration at all.

  • Use a wired Ethernet connection. Wi-Fi adds instability and latency that can contribute to CABBAGE. A direct cable connection to your router is the most reliable way to test.
  • Restart your router and modem. Power off both devices, wait 30 seconds, power the modem back on first, wait for it to fully connect, then power the router on.
  • Do not connect through two routers. Bungie explicitly warns against connecting to Destiny 2 through a router that is connected to another router. This is the double-NAT issue covered in Step 3.
  • Close bandwidth-heavy applications. Streaming, large downloads, and other bandwidth-intensive activities running alongside Destiny 2 can contribute to connection instability.
  • Power cycle your console. On PlayStation, hold the power button for 7 seconds until it beeps twice. On Xbox, hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds until the console resets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is error code CABBAGE in Destiny 2?

Error code CABBAGE is a network error in Destiny 2 that occurs when router settings block communications between your device and Bungie’s servers. According to Bungie’s official help page, the error is most commonly associated with Technicolor and Thomson routers but can appear with any equipment if the firewall or NAT configuration is blocking Destiny 2 traffic. The error can also appear during Bungie-side server issues, particularly on expansion launch days.

Is the Destiny 2 Cabbage error my fault or Bungie’s?

It depends on when and how you are experiencing it. If CABBAGE started on the day of a major patch or expansion launch, including the June 2026 release of The Edge of Fate, check the BungieHelp account on X and help.bungie.net before changing anything. If BungieHelp acknowledges an active issue, the problem is on Bungie’s side. If CABBAGE is persistent across multiple days and other games work fine, your home network configuration is the most likely cause.

How do I fix the Cabbage error in Destiny 2?

Start by checking Bungie server status and running the hotspot test described in this guide. If the hotspot test confirms a home-network issue, work through the steps in order: disable ISP modem Advanced WiFi Security settings first, fix any double-NAT configuration second, then enable UPnP or set up port forwarding, change your DNS to Google or Cloudflare DNS, and follow specific steps for Technicolor or Thomson routers if applicable.

Why do I keep getting the Cabbage error even after fixing my router?

Persistent CABBAGE after router fixes usually points to one of three causes: an ISP modem with Advanced WiFi Security that continues blocking Destiny 2 traffic despite router changes, a double-NAT setup where both the ISP modem and personal router are performing NAT, or an ongoing Bungie server investigation that has not been resolved yet. Use the hotspot test to confirm whether the issue is in your home network and, if it is, escalate to ISP modem settings and double-NAT before repeating router-level changes.

Does the Destiny 2 Cabbage error happen on expansion launch days?

Yes. CABBAGE errors reliably increase on major content release days across all of Destiny 2’s history, including the June 2026 launch of The Edge of Fate. Bungie has previously posted about increased CABBAGE errors and empty Tower instances during high-traffic periods on the BungieHelp account on X. When this happens, no player-side router change resolves the issue, and waiting for Bungie to address server load is the only reliable path.

What ports do I need to forward for Destiny 2?

Port forwarding ports for Destiny 2 vary by platform. PC via Steam and Epic Games Store uses UDP ports 3074 and 3097. PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 use UDP ports 1935, 3478, 3479, and 3480. Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S use UDP ports 3074 through 3080. See the full platform ports table earlier in this guide for a complete reference.

Should I use UPnP or port forwarding for Destiny 2?

Bungie recommends UPnP as the simpler option since it automatically negotiates the ports Destiny 2 needs. However, UPnP is a security trade-off that allows any device on your network to request open ports automatically. If security matters more to you, use manual port forwarding with the platform-specific ports in this guide. Do not enable both simultaneously, as Bungie specifically warns against this.

What is double NAT and how does it cause the Cabbage error?

Double-NAT happens when both an ISP-provided modem and a personal router are each performing network address translation on your connection. Destiny 2 traffic has to pass through two layers of NAT, and this double translation frequently fails, producing a CABBAGE error. The fix is to set your ISP modem to bridge mode or DMZ mode, turning off its NAT function so that only your personal router handles address translation.

Why does Destiny 2 work fine on my phone hotspot but not on my home internet?

A mobile hotspot bypasses your home network entirely, including your ISP modem, personal router, and any firewall settings. If Destiny 2 connects without CABBAGE on hotspot but fails on your home network, the problem is definitively in your home network or ISP modem equipment. This is the purpose of the hotspot test described earlier in this guide: it rules out Bungie-side issues and confirms that home network troubleshooting is the correct path.

What is the difference between error codes Bee and Cabbage in Destiny 2?

CABBAGE is specifically a router-blocking issue, where your router settings are preventing traffic from reaching Bungie’s servers. BEE is a broader connection interruption that can come from general internet congestion, insufficient bandwidth on your connection, or a temporary network disruption. The main practical difference is that CABBAGE often requires router configuration changes, while BEE is more often resolved by switching to a wired connection and closing other bandwidth-consuming applications.

What does error code Weasel mean in Destiny 2?

WEASEL is described by Bungie as a general network error that was previously grouped under CENTIPEDE before being separated into its own code. In rare cases, it can indicate that an account has been banned, particularly if the error occurred mid-activity and the game can no longer be launched at all. If you receive WEASEL and suspect it may be ban-related rather than a network issue, contact Bungie Support directly before spending time on network troubleshooting.

Does changing my DNS fix Destiny 2 network errors?

DNS changes resolve CABBAGE and other Destiny 2 errors in cases where your default ISP DNS servers are slow, filtering traffic, or failing to resolve the addresses that Destiny 2 accesses. Switching to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) is a low-risk change that sometimes resolves persistent connection errors when other steps have not. It is not a guaranteed fix but is worth trying alongside or after other steps.

What should I check on my Technicolor or Thomson router to fix Cabbage?

On a Technicolor or Thomson router, create a new Firewall level named Destiny 2, enable UPnP under the Game and Application Sharing section, disable Extended Security, and disable any Assigned Games and Application settings. These brands are specifically named by Bungie as more prone to CABBAGE because their default security settings are more aggressive than most router brands. Check your router manual for the exact menu names, as they vary between firmware versions.

Where can I see all Destiny 2 error codes explained?

The full error code reference table in this guide covers every major Destiny 2 error code currently in the game, including CABBAGE, BEE, WEASEL, CENTIPEDE, ANTEATER, BABOON, BEAVER, HONEYDEW, LETTUCE, CHICKEN, MARMOT, CAT, BEAN, and more. Bungie’s official help page at help.bungie.net also maintains individual pages for each error code with official troubleshooting steps.

Priority Order: Fix Cabbage Error Destiny 2 in the Right Sequence

Here is the complete priority order for resolving the Cabbage error Destiny 2 as quickly as possible.

  • Check Bungie server status at help.bungie.net and BungieHelp on X before doing anything else.
  • Run the hotspot test to confirm whether the problem is in your home network or on Bungie’s side.
  • Check your ISP modem for Advanced WiFi Security or Advanced Security settings and temporarily disable them.
  • Fix double-NAT if you have both an ISP modem and a personal router by setting the modem to bridge mode or DMZ.
  • Enable UPnP on your router, or use port forwarding if you prefer the more secure option.
  • Change your DNS servers to Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS and flush your DNS cache.
  • Follow Technicolor or Thomson specific steps if those are your router brands.
  • Switch to a wired connection and power cycle both your modem and router.

Error code CABBAGE has been part of Destiny since 2014 and remains one of the most frustrating errors in the franchise, specifically because it is not always caused by what it says it is caused by. The triage step at the top of this guide exists because many players spend hours on the wrong fix. Check Bungie status first, use the hotspot test to confirm the problem is yours, then work through the steps in the order listed.
