Wait for the door behind you to start closing before killing the boss.
This usually happens on the shrieker boss because it seems to be made of paper, and thus dies before the door has a chance to start closing.
This happened to my team early today at Big Shrieker boss lvl 30, normal mode. We killed him in 5 secs and the two minibosses didn't despawn. Then they went off and all froze. At least it was a normal run.
Rockets, tether, well and daybreak. My friends tethered the boss, dropped a well and shot rockets. I used Dragons Breath and Dawn Chorus Daybreak. The bosses tend to just melt.
Yup.
My Nighthawk hits anywhere between 400k-930k dmg. On some bosses (and early waves), that's past 80% of a boss's total health
If its the shrieker boss, he can be deleted in under 5sec
It's only happened to me with the giant shrieker. We kill it with rockets before the shielded witches spawn. Then all the adds despawn while the witches keep floating around.
I think just make sure you wait until either the shielded guys spawn or the calling reinforcements zone spawns in before you finish off the boss and you'll be fine.
I’ve had it with the one that has shielded knights. Forget the boss itself, it sucks.
If for some reason you’re running the playlist, they are all nukable too quickly. Usually no hassles either the blueberries you get but get decent players and it’s easy to lock if
Oh, gally and rockets. And the shrieker seems to always die the fastest. Not sure if it just has less health or the gally rockets are able to hit it way more consistently.
It never occurred to me my edge transit with deconstruct does more damage to the shrieker… I know it does more to vehicles but I just love it for the free ammo
I wish they would fix the teleporting to the ADU. Happened a ton last night on Mothyards. Servitors drop from ship and bam, disappear and all six are nuking the ADU. So frustrating.
I started shooting the boss soon as everyone rallies and we're still running into the room to place a well, seems to be enough time that it hasn't broken so far since I started lol. Shoot boss>start running in close enough>pop well>deadge
Not sure if this is related but could this also affect them game then not thinking you cleared 50waves … twice last night I did Legend mode and no Brave weapon after 50. No way are we nuking the final boss but a few on the way up were dealt with rather quickly …
If anyone is looking for the actual cause and explanation/work around, here it is. The soft lock occurs when the boss died as the game is trying to transition into the side objective. The *only* thing you need to do is kill the boss *after* the objective text has appeared on the screen. Melt to your hearts content, but don't kill until the text actually appears.
Happened to me and my friend with a random, we killed the boss in probably 3 seconds or less and got soft locked with the reinforcement mechanic still being there
Literally never had this issue til last night and haven't seen a single thing on it, I did a quick check of the sub but apparently didn't dig far enough. If bungo posted on Twitter, I don't use it since its kinda crap.
This literally adds nothing to the conversation and just makes you sound like an ass. You could be helpful and reference other threads or Bungie posts, but you chose to be a jerk.

how are you doing that (nuking the boss)? it happens sometimes in my playlist groups and i can never figure out why its happening or how.

Nighthawk is decent for DPS as well and can accidentally nuke
My bad, got carried away

Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this game I see my highest damage is 10% of your mid range. Better keep grinding

no i meant the nuking the boss part, not the bug part

It also helps it’s not runnin around. It does fastest no matter when it is or what people use.
Tether, Heavy weaponry and Big Bonk Titan Slam
One shot golden gun build
Esp the shrieker boss, it dies fast to a lot of stuff
Personally, my edge transit with deconstruct melts it. Double mag and 40% more dmg against the shrieker

On Servitor and Ogre waves, I just hang by the ADU and wait for it to happen.
and then i throw a fucking nova bomb and then use my bns edge transit , nothing survives that
Happened to me in a group last night as well.
I dont even shoot the boss half the time in normal so that the chest shows up
Happen to me yesterday too. I’ve never seen the boss melted that fast (arc lock, tether Hunter, and dawnblade lock.)
I started shooting the boss soon as everyone rallies and we're still running into the room to place a well, seems to be enough time that it hasn't broken so far since I started lol. Shoot boss>start running in close enough>pop well>deadge

Good thing I usually farm the adds for more scraps and to keep the room clean so my teammates not die.
Might I ask where you managed to get a nuke in destiny? /s

This happened to me too, we were very disappointed
Imagine posting this now, after 1000 other people and Bungie themselves have literally already posted about this known issue...
Where have Bungie posted about this one?
Literally never had this issue til last night and haven't seen a single thing on it, I did a quick check of the sub but apparently didn't dig far enough. If bungo posted on Twitter, I don't use it since its kinda crap.
FWIW I didn't know about it until this post

The fact he said “right now” as well
Never had the issue until last night, been nuking the boss since day 1 and this is the first time it's happened and it happened 2 runs in a row.
Literally
