Destiny 2 Unveils Latest Game Enhancements

Highlights

  • Experience fixes and enhancements in Crucible, Warlord's Ruin dungeon, and the Onslaught mode for a more engaging gameplay experience.
  • New weapon drops now available at the end of 50 waves in Onslaught, with a chance for an extra drop during gameplay.
  • Changes to Crucible modes like Elimination and Competitive ensure a smoother gaming experience, with fixed issues related to ammo crates and spawn points.

Following the release of Update 7.3.6.2 by Bungie, Destiny 2 players can now enjoy a variety of fixes and gameplay improvements, including adjustments to fan-favorite activities like the Crucible and the Onslaught wave defense mode. The recent 'Into the Light' update has breathed new life into Destiny 2, drawing back players and rekindling community enthusiasm after a challenging period. The introduction of Onslaught, a wave-based defense mode, and the return of beloved weapons like The Mountaintop and Recluse have been particularly well-received.

Building on the success of 'Into the Light,' Destiny 2 is gearing up for the upcoming 'Final Shape' expansion, with exciting reveals such as the new Prismatic subclass that allows players to customize abilities from Light and Dark subclasses. Even as the game hurtles towards the epic confrontation with The Witness, Bungie remains committed to keeping the core experience fresh, as evidenced by the latest patch release.

In addition to the customary Destiny 2 Weekly Update, Bungie's latest patch addresses various issues affecting gameplay across different activities. Fixes in the Crucible include resolving spawn issues in Elimination mode and ensuring proper ammo crate respawns in Competitive playlists. The Warlord's Ruin dungeon has also been fine-tuned to prevent solo players from getting locked out due to blocked doors, among other improvements.

Notably, a significant aspect of Update 7.3.6.2 is the revamp of Onslaught, making all 50 waves more rewarding for players. Six critical issues have been resolved, from fixing glitches that hindered gameplay to adjusting the behavior of the Recluse submachine gun's reticle bounce to align better with the original design.
