Changed the Dynamo and Distribution perks
General
Increased visibility through a Titan’s Banner Shield for allies The White Nail perk should no longer occasionally activate before the player achieves the required number of precision hits Fixed an issue where the SUROS Regime scope was opaque yellow Fixed an issue where Polaris Lance’s The Perfect Fifth perk was not triggering
Combatants
Fixed an issue where Vex Cyclopes weren’t attacking players Fixed an issue where Hive Knights and Taken Vandals were not using special abilities
Activities
Decreased attacker respawn time from 7 seconds to 5 seconds after the Breaker is deployed Modified the game rules to prevent teams from forcing the round into a stalemate: In the initial fight over the Breaker, the team with the most capture progress (high-water mark) will win the Breaker if time runs out without any Breaker progress present. There will still be overtime if time runs out with progress present, and the Breaker will go to the team with current progress at the end of 30 seconds, or to the high-water mark if progress reaches zero with no players on the Breaker. While a team is hacking the other team’s Vault, progress decay accelerates gradually during Sudden Death for up to 30 seconds, after which the round will end the moment no attackers are present in the capture zone. If the round ends in a draw twice, the match ends in a tie. Neither team will get Glory points from this scenario. Win Streaks are maintained.
Sleeper Simulant now gains less ammo from Heavy ammo crates on the wall in Gambit (now 2, down from 4) Swords now gain more ammo from Heavy ammo crates on the wall in Gambit (now 12, up from 6) Fixed an issue where sometimes one team’s invasion portal would not open Fixed an issue where sometimes the wrong team would be credited for defeating the Ascendant Primeval Increased the spawn rate of the Ascendant Primeval Servitor The Gambit ship and Sparrow are no longer guaranteed drops
Quitter protection
Fixed an issue where matchmaking would sometimes result in players being kicked from Gambit matches, thus triggering quitter penalties Quitter penalties have been reenabled Players will now receive two warnings before they are suspended from Gambit Players will not be immediately suspended on the first match of the day if they quit a match the night before Increased suspension time to 30 minutes
Fixed an issue where players could play the strike “The Corrupted” with a six-player fireteam
Items and Economy
When a player receives an Exotic, we now take into account all Exotics the player has found and weight them against Exotics they have yet to acquire. This lowers the player’s chances of receiving Exotics they already own. Exotics that the player does not yet own are individually weighted much higher than duplicate Exotics When receiving duplicate Exotics, the player is more likely to earn armor pieces as these have randomly rolled perks
Removed quest Exotic weapons from the Exotic engram loot pool
Worldline Zero Ace of Spades Wish-Ender One Thousand Voices Malfeasance Lord of Wolves The Chaperone
Renamed Masterwork Cores to Enhancement Cores Enhancement Cores are now awarded by Scrapper bounties and six of the Spider’s weekly bounties Enhancement Cores will be more visible in the loot feed
Banshee-44 now accepts up to 25 Gunsmith Materials at a time Removed hold time for the Spider’s material exchange interactions Increased the stack size of Ghost Fragments from 10 to 20 Reduced shader dismantle time from 1 second to 0. 25 seconds Fixed an issue where the Secret Victories emblem was using the wrong tracker description It now correctly displays as “Ascendant chests looted” The requirements for the Queen’s Bounty “Purification Ritual” have been clarified and now list the target as “Abyssal Champions” instead of “Swordbearing Knights” Raid challenge bounties now rotate in a fixed, round-robin fashion Nightfall unique rewards will drop more consistently; the longer players go without a unique drop, the higher their chances of a unique reward on their next Nightfall completion The chance resets once a player receives any Nightfall unique reward
PC
One of the most apparent changes is the Exotic Duplicate Weighting, which ensures that players are less likely to receive Exotics that they already own. In addition, Exotics that the player does not yet own are individually weighted much higher than the duplicate Exotics, which will ensure that players can obtain a wider variety of Exotics, especially the new ones included with Forsaken.
Another important change that was announced earlier is that Masterwork Cores were renamed to Enhancement Cores and that they are now much easier to acquire. Starting this week, Scrapper bounties and six of Spider’s weekly bounties will offer an Enhancement Core along with their usual rewards.
Destiny 2: Forsaken is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
