Destiny 2 Releases New Update

Highlights

  • Bungie releases update 8.0.0.7 for Destiny 2, fixing a number of issues with activities and gear.
  • Patch 8.0.0.7 makes tweaks and fixes to various activities, like Ghosts of the Deep, Salvation’s Edge, the Liminality strike, and the Crucible.
  • The update also made tweaks to the Shieldcrush artifact perk and exotic armor like Precious Scars and Osiomancy Gloves.

As a seasoned Destiny 2 player with years of experience under my belt, I’m thrilled to see Bungie addressing various issues in the latest patch notes. The fix for the Grandmaster Nightfalls is a much-needed relief for me and many other players who might have accidentally launched into the incorrect one in the past.

In simpler terms, Update 8.0.0.7 for “Destiny 2” is out from Bungie, fixing various issues with activities, Guardian skills, and other aspects of the game. Exciting times for “Destiny 2” players as Act 2 of Episode Echoes has finally emerged after a three-week break. Some fans are underwhelmed by the new release schedule due to the lengthy gap between different Acts.

As a long-time Destiny 2 player, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with fellow Guardians! After voicing our concerns over the timegating elements in Episode 1: Echoes, Bungie has made an announcement that Episode 2: Revenant will be releasing all story content at launch. This is a game-changer for me and many other players in the community, as it means we can progress through the story without feeling held back by artificial barriers.

In simpler terms, the new Destiny 2 update came out together with the regular weekly refresh. It addressed various problems in activities such as Liminality strike, Ghosts of the Deep dungeon, and Salvation’s Edge raid. These issues could potentially lead to crashes, disappearing items, or unexpected gameplay glitches. Additionally, some changes were made to the Pathfinder, including making less restrictive a node that previously required 150 Cabal kills.

Regarding gameplay adjustments, Update 8.0.0.7 brings some modifications to the Titan’s exotic armor, Titan’s Precious Scars. Specifically, the Sol Invictus and Offensive Bulwark Aspects no longer obstruct Kintsugi’s effect. In relation to Warlock’s equipment, the Osmiomancy Gloves have been fine-tuned to only enhance Coldsnap grenades instead of any type as it used to be. Additionally, an issue was resolved with the Shieldcrush perk from Destiny 2’s Artifact; previously, Grapple Punch gained full benefits from both halves of the perk resulting in an unintended power boost.

As a dedicated Destiny 2 player with hundreds of hours under my belt, I’m thrilled to see that Bungie is making adjustments to enhance the overall gaming experience. However, I was bummed out when I learned there were no weapon adjustments in this patch. But fear not, fellow Guardians! In the near future, Bungie has announced a much-needed nerf to the infamous Still Hunt sniper rifle.
