Plus, there are three different ways to play Destiny 2 on PC, so here is a rundown of how do fix it on each. First, make sure the game is closed before doing any of these steps.
Steam

- Right-click on Destiny 2 in your Steam Library to open up game options
- Open Properties, and then go to the Local Files tab
- Click the ‘Verify integrity of game files’ button
- After that is done, restart Destiny 2
If the path above doesn’t work, there is another option that revolves around going into your game folders.

- Delete everything except for the Packages folder
- Then click the “Verify integrity of game files” button and redownload those files
- Restart Destiny 2
If both options above don’t work, your best bet is to uninstall and reinstall Destiny 2 entirely.
Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store on PC
As for both the Microsoft Store and Epic Games Store, the path is different than Steam but the same for each other.
- Right click on Destiny 2 in the library
- Select “Manage”

- Restart Destiny 2
Just like for Steam, if the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall Destiny 2.
How to fix the MARMOT error code on consoles
As for consoles, you can’t edit game files as easily as you can on PC. So, uninstalling and reinstalling Destiny 2 might seem like the only option. However, clearing the game cache on consoles is the best option to try asides from a full reset.
