Just like any new game, especially of the online variety, there will be bugs, glitches, and improvements to be talked about. Destiny 2 is no different and the next scheduled maintenance period will address the latest batch of issues reported by players including quest glitches, raid bugs, and a few more clan tweaks planned for the beginning of October.

In the latest patch notes preview, Bungie outlined their plans for their upcoming patch that will begin October 3rd for Hotfix 1.0.3.1. This will target issues submitted regarding PlayStation crashes, Cayde’s stash, chest issues, and more. The team behind the latest shooter also opened up with a few key reports they are looking into, and they are asking for player feedback as soon as possible.
Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming schedule and changes as per Bungie:
Cayde’s Stash, Lost Sector, and Planetary Chest Reward Issues
We are investigating reports of players opening rewards chests and not receiving loot. If you are encountering this issue, please post a report to the #Help forum detailing the following:
- Which type of chest did not grant rewards?
- Had you interacted with alternate chests or planetary materials prior to this issue occurring?
Patch Notes Preview
Next Tuesday, October 3, we are deploying Hotfix 1.0.3.1. It contains some fixes for issues some players are experiencing. Here is a preview of some of the changes you can expect to see when you download the update next week.
- Fixed an issue in which players could lose access to the Veteran’s TransmatEffect by deleting characters
- Fixed an issue in which clan engramswould grant Trials of the Nine and raid rewards at only 10 Power
- Fixed an issue in which progress for the Exotic Quest Step “His Highness’s Seal” was not incrementing properly
- Quest progress will still increment by 1, but the Quest Step now only requires 10 Seals to be collected
- Fixed an issue in which raid milestones would not show for some players after the weekly reset (This didn’t affect any raid rewards)
- Fixed issues in which players could enter a state where they are continuously killed or unable to resurrect if encounter complete and failure events occurred simultaneously
Maintenance Schedule – Services will be offline on October 3rd for the following hotfix
Below is the exact maintenance times for when players can expect online services to be disrupted in preparation for the latest patch. The hotfix is scheduled to be completed with servers up and running by 12 PM PDT.
Maintenance begins at 8 AM PDT
- Players will no longer be able to sign in to Destiny 2
Players will be removed from all activities at 9 AM PDT (4 PM UTC)
- We advise players complete raid and Nightfall activities well before this time to avoid a Cabal victory
Maintenance expected to complete at 12 PM PDT (7 PM UTC)
- Players may encounter the DestinyServer Queue when attempting to sign in after maintenance
Other changes
PlayStation 4 Crashes
We are continuing to work with our platform partners at Sony to address an issue where players encounter PlayStation Error CE-34878-0 when attempting to visit the Tower, or during general gameplay.
It is expected that if too many planetary chests are opened within a short amount of time, players may not receive items. Cayde’s Stash and Lost Sector chests should not follow this functionality. We will provide updates on our investigation when available.
Leviathan Raid Keys
Through our investigations with internal teams, we have identified two instances where Leviathan raid keys are erroneously removed from character inventory.
- Signing in with alternate characters will remove raid keys if the character had not been signed in since the weekly reset.
- If a player earns Raid keys and creates a new character, raid keys are removed from inventory.
To prevent this issue, we advise players sign in with all characters or inspect all characters on the Destiny Companion App prior to completing checkpoints within the Leviathan raid after the weekly reset.
Destiny 2 is out now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players, with a PC release slated for October 24th.
