Recommended Videos

Bungie has issued the first Destiny patch of the new year, and it looks like a big one. Full of bug fixes and balancing, the hotfix looks to largely focus on the game’s Raids. A few of the more popular “cheats” for Crota’s End have been patched out, along with some other bug fixes. The big change for Vault of Glass is the addition of Level 32 weapon drops, which should make high level players interested in playing the older Raid once again. Along with these come various random fixes, so check out the full list below to see everything that has changed:
