Error Code: Centipede means Destiny 2 can't connect to Bungie's servers at all. You're completely locked out — can't even get to the character select screen.
Fix it:
- FIRST check if Bungie's servers are actually down: go to help.bungie.net or check @BungieHelp on Twitter. During maintenance or outages, everyone gets Centipede — you just have to wait
- If servers are up, restart your router and modem completely — unplug for 60 seconds
- Check Windows Firewall: Windows Security > Firewall > Allow an app > make sure Destiny 2 is allowed on both Private and Public networks
- Temporarily disable your antivirus and try connecting — some antivirus software blocks Destiny 2's network traffic
- Flush DNS and renew IP: admin Command Prompt > ipconfig /flushdns, then ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew
- Port forward for Destiny 2: TCP 80, 443, 1935-1936, 3097, 3478-3480 and UDP 3074, 3097, 3478-3479
- Try a phone hotspot to test — if it works on hotspot but not your home network, your ISP or router is the problem
- If on a college or work network, the firewall may be blocking game traffic entirely
- As a last resort, try a VPN to route around potential ISP blocking
