An unstable WiFi connection has been seen as the main cause of the error code CENTIPEDE. To avoid this, Destiny 2 developer Bungie recommends a wired Ethernet connection where possible.

If this isn’t a possibility, check if your router’s NAT is Strict or a Type Three. If it is, then reset your NAT to an Open or Type One state. If you are using a connection at a university or public network, however, you may need to contact your network administrator to help resolve that issue.
