Destiny 2’s Festival of the Lost is in full swing, but some players are experiencing frustration with the “Heads Will Roll” event challenge.
According to multiple reports on forums, the challenge is currently bugged and not progressing correctly for some players.
The challenge requires players to defeat a hundred Headless Ones in Haunted Sectors, but kills are not registering correctly or at all.
In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the issue and explore potential workarounds while we wait for a fix from Bungie.
How To Fix Destiny 2 Heads Will Roll Not Working Or Progressing
1. Wait For A Fix
The first and most obvious solution is to simply wait for a fix from Bungie. The developer has acknowledged the issue and is likely working on a patch to address it.
While waiting can be frustrating, it’s often the most reliable solution, as workarounds can sometimes be unreliable or even cause unintended consequences.
2. Try Legendary Mode

One workaround that some players have reported success with is playing Haunted Sectors in Legendary mode.
Playing Haunted Sectors in Legendary mode registers kills and allows players to complete the quest.
While Legendary mode is more difficult than other modes, it can be cleared with a few friends or clan mates.
3. Restart The Game
Another potential workaround is to simply restart the game. According to some players, restarting Destiny 2 can sometimes fix the issue and allow kills to register correctly.
While this solution may seem too simple to be effective, it’s worth a try if other solutions don’t work.
