Bungie has rolled out the latest Update 7.3.6.3 for Destiny 2, bringing fixes to issues in the intense wave defense Onslaught mode. The update also fine-tunes weapons such as Recluse, Hammerhead, and Tusk of the Boar, and addresses two well-known cheese spots within The Whisper mission. It's a bustling week for Destiny 2 enthusiasts, with the addition of the final two BRAVE Arsenal weapons - the Black Armory's Blast Furnace and the Luna's Howl hand cannon - back in play for farming.

In addition to new loot opportunities, players can now engage in the Pantheon activity, a challenging gauntlet against raid bosses. The difficulty of Pantheon will ramp up weekly, starting with four encounters and peaking at eight by the end of May. Brave players who conquer these trials will be rewarded with adept raid weapons, deepsight frames, and exotic items. The update also introduces new weapons and activities for players to enjoy.

The patch notes detail various fixes and enhancements, including adjustments to activities like Onslaught, improvements to weapons from BRAVE and Iron Banner, and enhancements to the Riven's Lair bounty from Shaxx in the Hall of Champions. Notably, the Crucible sees changes to the special ammo system, streamlining the process by unifying respawn mode ammo point rewards and excluding ability kills from contributing to the ammo meter, simplifying the gameplay experience.

Players tackling The Whisper mission will find fewer cheese spots and exploits, with issues like out-of-bounds tricks being resolved. The mission now ensures that players adhere to the intended mechanics, providing a fair gameplay experience. With exciting content on the horizon, such as the upcoming The Final Shape release, Destiny 2 remains packed with activities to keep players engaged.

Looking ahead, May promises new Crucible maps, the return of the exotic mission Zero Hour, and a craftable version of Outbreak Perfected, offering a wealth of content for players to delve into.
