Update 2.22 has arrived for Destiny 2, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch.
Bungie teased us not too long ago with some Stasis changes and PvP improvements planned for June 3, and they for sure delivered. The new patch went live moments ago, on the date that it was promised indeed. Update 2.22 or 3.2.0.3, depending on your version, focuses on balance issues, tons of Stasis fixes and tweaks, weapons, abilities and a lot more. Raids were also a topic that was adjusted a little, so head down below to check everything in detail.
Destiny 2 Update 2.22 Patch Notes
ACTIVITIES
FREE ROAM
- Added an energy barrier to the Scavenger’s Den Lost Sector on EDZ, while on Legend or Master difficulty, to prevent skipping most of the encounters.
- The Empty Tank Lost Sector on Tangled Shore now rewards the correct Exotic gear, in line with the other Lost Sectors’ reward rotation.
RAIDS
- Vault of Glass armor mods now appear in the Collections tab.
- Fixed an issue where players could kill Atheon by tethering Supplicants as they self-destruct.
- Fixed an issue where players could kill Atheon in the Future Venus portal before starting the encounter.
- Fixed an issue where players could break Minotaur shields in the Gatekeeper encounter by using Prometheus Lens.
- Fixed an issue where Aegis Relic blocking ability was not continuously blocking damage.
GAMEPLAY AND INVESTMENT
ARMOR
- Path of the Burning Steps no longer grants a stack of its buff on becoming slowed by Stasis, only when becoming encased.
- Star-Eater Scales
- Now correctly grants its damage bonus while the player is standing in a Well of Radiance.
- The status icon for Feast of Light now correctly scales up to x8, gaining one stack per Orb picked up.
- Fixed an issue when calculating Super bonus damage. Having 4 stacks of Feast of Light will grant a 55% bonus to Super damage, and having a full 8 stacks will grant a 70% bonus to Super damage. For context, the original formula at the start of the Season was a 60% bonus to damage at 4 stacks.
WEAPONS
- Fixed an issue where the Roar of the Wyrm ornament for Whisper of the Worm Exotic’s geometry would disappear when walking against walls.
BOUNTIES AND PURSUITS
- Fixed an issue where projectile melee ability kills weren’t counting toward progress for Step 4 of the Iron-Handed Diplomacy quest.
- Fixed an issue where the Capture Completionist Triumph would not properly unlock for some players.
