Destiny 2 Releases Update 7.3.6.2

Bungie releases Update 7.3.6.2 for Destiny 2, adding new fixes and gameplay changes as well as tweaks to activities like the Crucible and Onslaught wave defense. Thanks in large part to the Into the Light update, Destiny 2 has seen a renaissance of sorts, with the player base returning and community positivity restored after a dark period of time the past few months. Into The Light has added one of the more popular activities Destiny 2 has seen in a long time with Onslaught, a horde style wave defense mode as well as 12 returning fan favorite guns like The Mountaintop and Recluse.

While Destiny 2 Into The Light got the ball rolling, Bungie has continued the trend with new reveals for the upcoming Final Shape expansion. Earlier in April, the studio revealed a ton of new information on the expansion, including an all-new subclass for Destiny 2 called Prismatic, which essentially lets players customize their abilities from the preexisting Light and Dark subclasses. However, as Destiny 2 rapidly approaches the final showdown with The Witness, Bungie continues to keep the core game updated as the studio has just released the latest patch.

As The Final Shape draws closer, one Destiny 2 fan finds a cleverly hidden teaser for the highly anticipated Prismatic subclass.

Alongside the typical Destiny 2 Weekly Update, Bungie also released a new patch which addresses a number of issues impacting various activities in the game. In terms of the Crucible, the Elimination mode had an issue where one player would be unable to spawn every other round when on the Burnout map. Competitive playlists now do not feature Mercy rules and Special ammo crates should now respawn correctly on the Wormhaven map.

The Warlord’s Ruin dungeon also had a frustrating issue for solo players, who could get lockout out of completing the dungeon due to blocked doors at the imprisoned puzzle following the first encounter. Kingsfall also received a fix for an issue that resulted in two players getting the Unstable Light debuff at the same time during the Golgoroth boss fight. The update also addresses four general issues Destiny 2 players have been running across, including picking up a New Light Kit overriding existing abilities in saved loadouts.

However, one of the biggest pieces to Update 7.3.6.2 involves Onslaught, which added Bungie’s recent change to making all 50 waves more rewarding for Destiny 2 players. In addition, six issues were fixed, all potentially having a negative impact during gameplay, from being unable to leave the Pyramid space to crashing the game mode outright. The Recluse submachine gun was also tweaked so that the reticle bounce behavior now aligns closer with the original version of the gun.
