Destiny 2 is a live service title, which means it can be plagued by a long list of potential glitches while you're trying to be the best Guardian you can be. Destiny 2's "This item is not currently available" error is one such problem you might find yourself up against. It can be particularly frustrating, especially with the title's 18th season currently ongoing. You need all the help you can get to finish out the season strong.
But what does this error code actually mean, and why might you find yourself dealing with it? There are a number of reasons it could pop up, according to the official Bungie Help database. The error itself refers to what can happen when items in Destiny 2 become "unavailable" for use, as they were purposely disabled or a game license has gone missing.
This can mean several things: Perhaps Bungie has gotten rid of something you used often, or maybe something has happened to your entire game license. Whatever the case may be, this may not be localized to something you've done.
It may not be immediately clear which scenario has happened, but there are a few different things you can try in an effort to clear the error and get back to what you were doing before it crashed your gaming party. Here are some methods to try if you need to know how to fix the Destiny 2's "This item is currently not available" error.
How to FixError Code "This Item is Currently Not Available":
If you receive the Item Not Available error code, you may first want to check and see if an item you're trying to use has been disabled on purpose. As Bungie mentions in its help pages directory, an item may be removed if it has been "used to gain an unfair advantage." Announcements of this nature will often be made on the official @BungieHelp Twitter account.
Other issues stem from game license problems. Perhaps you're missing a game license for a certain expansion and you need it to use an item you've come across. If you don't own the license, you'll need to purchase it. If you do own it, you'll need to restore your missing game license. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this by way of support directories for Xbox, PlayStation, Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Another potential fix that could help is to perform a quick game restart. Though unlikely, you may just be experiencing a temporary glitch, and if that's the case, quitting Destiny 2 and restarting may help to clear the error. This is a common go-to resolution when problems occur in both online and offline games.
If none of these solutions make sense or are able to work, Bungie encourages you to create a thread on the official Help Forum to obtain further assistance. The support team will evaluate your request and get back to you with a fix as soon as they can.
Destiny 2 Season 18 is currently live now. The current theme is Season of the Plunder, and there's plenty of gameplay to return to and complete if it's been a while since you joined your fellow Guardians.
