Introduction
Attention Guardians! The latest hotfix for Destiny 2 is here, and it’s packed with exciting changes and fixes to enhance your gaming experience. Let’s dive into the details!
In the realm of activities, we’ve addressed a pesky issue in the Master version of the Duality dungeon. Pinnacle gear was dropping more frequently than intended, but fear not, as we’ve rectified this and restored balance to the loot system. Additionally, we’ve resolved a problem that was causing progress to be blocked in the Grasp of Avarice final boss encounter. Keep an eye out for Captain Avarokk’s slightly shaky animations during the fight – it adds a touch of character!
Moving on to gameplay and investment, we’ve tackled several weapon-related issues. Weapons that were missing out on Deepsight progression will now receive it as intended. The enhanced version of Bait and Switch is back in action, and Adaptive Munitions now works its magic on Glaives. Furthermore, we’ve made sure that the Exotic Sidearm Trespasser and the Season Pass Auto Rifle Firefright are available in Collections for your convenience.
But that’s not all! We’ve also made improvements to armor, such as updating the description of the Roast ‘Em perk on the Hunter Exotic arms Caliban’s Hand. Additionally, Artifice Armor has regained its special mod socket, ensuring that you can fully customize your Guardian’s loadout.
Get ready to jump back into the action, Guardians, as Destiny 2’s latest hotfix brings a plethora of fixes and enhancements to keep you engaged and entertained. Happy gaming!
