Introduction
Get ready for some exciting changes in Destiny 2 with the latest update! The UI/UX has received some much-needed improvements, including fixes for FPS issues when exploring the Director screen and a new option to invite friends to your fireteam without any unnecessary redirects. Plus, the visuals have been updated to make it easier to know when a player has been blocked. No more confusion there!
In the Crucible, we’ve addressed some pesky issues, such as pre-match cinematics ending too soon and opponent nameplates not pulsing when their Super is active. And that’s not all! We’ve also made some miscellaneous fixes, like adding a Director label to Derelict Leviathan and tidying up item displays. The Clan tab has also received a makeover to match the rest of the game’s locations with multiple pages.
But wait, there’s more! We’ve improved gameplay and investment aspects as well. In Survival, tied rounds will no longer grant a point to one of the teams, ensuring a fairer experience. And for all you Crucible enthusiasts, special ammo will no longer refresh upon resurrection in 3v3 modes, aligning them with Trials of Osiris.
So gear up, Guardians, and get ready to dive into the latest Destiny 2 update. It’s time to experience a smoother, more enjoyable gameplay experience.
DESTINY 2 HOTFIX 6.2.0.2
EXPEDITION:

KING’S FALL
- Fixed an issue where DPS for Golgoroth sometimes didn’t end properly.
- Fixed an issue where King’s Fall Carries stat tracker mentions Seasonal carries instead of weekly carries.

GAMEPLAY AND INVESTMENT

- Tier 4: 25% to 10%
-
WEAPONS
- Fixed an issue where certain Bows would reload themselves while stowed.

- Fixed an issue where the Combination Blow melee ability was able to continually stagger boss combatants.
- Fixed an issue where Combination Blow’s melee damage scalar was also applying to Tempest Strike.
- Fixed an issue where Combination Blow’s melee energy regeneration bonus was also applying while Tempest Strike was equipped.
-
- Developer Note: Typically, we do not normalize melee ability regeneration rates for melee modifications like Tempest Strike or Consecration, as most of our melee abilities have a relatively small delta in base cooldown times between them. However, because the cooldown reduction on Combination Blow is so significant and integral to the base melee’s behavior, we chose to do so here in order to have a better grasp on where Tempest Strike lies in terms of efficacy and uptime, which would have been difficult with a potentially 15-second cooldown time.
-
- Fixed an issue where the damage resistance provided by the Flow State Aspect and Arc Staff Super while dodging was significantly higher than intended in PvP.
