If you are wondering why the Ice Mantle exotic is disabled, don’t worry. It’s as intended and for a good reason. In short, Bungie disabled the exotic due to issuesregarding exploits.
If you want the exact reasoning for the disabling of the Ice Mantle, it can be seen via the tweet shown below.
Due to an issue with cooldowns on the Icefall Mantle overshield, we have disabled the Icefall Mantle Exotic Titan gauntlets in all activities.

At the same time, Hunter’s Tricksleeves was also disabled due to issues regarding exploits. But instead of an issue stemming from cooldowns, the Tricksleeves were disabled due to issues regarding free ammo.
Due to an issue where the Forerunner Exotic sidearm could get free ammo, we have disabled the Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves Exotic Hunter gauntlets in all activities.
In short, players were able to get free ammo for the Forerunner weapon by using the Tricksleeves. Because of this,the exotic Tricksleeveshad to be disabled and currently can not be used in the game’s activities.
The Sidearm Reserves chest armor mod also suffered a similar fate, as it was also being used to get free ammo for theForerunner.
That said, it’s currently unknown when any of theseexoticswill be reenabled by Bungie. Hopefully, it does not take long, as exotics such as the Ice Mantle and Trickersleeves are hugely popular amongst players.
