Destiny 2 Makes Much-Needed Changes In The Crucible

While Destiny 2 has been a great experience for a number of players, there have been a few frustrations, most notably in the Crucible. However, Bungie has made note that it's addressed a number of these issues with a new HotFix, which should be available now.

"Bungie is listening, Guardians! This @Destiny 2 update addresses some Crucible frustrations," the company noted on Twitter.

The HotFix, also labeled as "the one with more post-launch housekeeping," makes the following changes with the Crucible, as well as items, quests and Raids. Here's how it's all broken down:

Items

• Fixed an issue in which players could lose access to the Veteran's Transmat Effect by deleting characters
• Fixed an issue in which clan engrams would grant Trials of the Nine and raid rewards at only 10 Power
• Fixed an issue in which the action button on Faction Rallies emblems displayed Discard instead of Store

Quests

• Fixed an issue in which progress for the Exotic Quest Step "His Highness's Seal" was not incrementing properly

Raid

• 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 an issue in which players could enter a state where they are continuously killed if they finish a raid encounter at the exact moment of failure

Crucible

• Added invisible physics and kill volumes to keep players inside the intended playable area on the following maps:
  • Eternity
  • Altar of Flame
  • Emperor's Respite
  • Legion's Gulch
  • Javelin-4
  • The Dead Cliffs
• Added invisible physics to all stairs in The Dead Cliffs to allow grenades to bounce properly
• Adjusted spawning system values to reduce the frequency of players respawning into dangerous situations on all maps

These changes should automatically apply the next time you start up the game, and they should be included with the PC version when it arrives later this month as well. So you can jump in and have a field day again, without going nuts over Crucible glitches.

As for future fixes, we'll let you know if Bungie announces them.

Destiny 2 is available now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and coming on October 24th for PC.
