A new Destiny 2 update was released today, being launched exclusively for PC players. Hotfix 1.0.6.2 is available for Destiny 2 on PC right now through Blizzard’s Battle.net servers.
And while it will probably help all current Guardians, the patch notes themselves don’t include a huge list of changes. In fact just one bug has been fixed with this new launch, with the information listed below:
Hotfix 1.0.6.2: Fixed an issue, introduced with 1.0.6.1 patch, causing periodic hitches during gameplay for some players.
Here’s the original 1.0.6 patch notes mentioned by Bungie above:
General
- Fixed an issue with collision detection on the Bureaucratic Walk Emote
- Fixed an issue causing players to encounter empty public spaces too often in free roam
- Fixed an issue causing players to be kicked to Orbit
Faction Rallies
- Strikes now reward Faction Tokens at a range of 5 to 9 Faction Tokens per completion (up from 3 to 7)
- Nightfall now rewards 10 to 18 Faction Tokens on first completion per character
- Completing Heroic Public Events now rewards 5 Faction Tokens (down from 8)
- Destroying enemy resources no longer rewards Faction Tokens
- Opening Lost Sector chests now rewards 3 Faction Tokens for each fireteam member
The new patch was released ahead of Bungie’s Weekly Reset, and the arrival of the Destiny 2 Faction Rally.
From November 7 until November 13, your chosen leader will call on you again to represent them and to help you earn reward packages full of armor, weapons, and more.
Your efforts in game will determine which faction is crowned the winner and given the right to sell their weapon as an additional reward.
Some things have changed since the last Faction Rally, with Senior Designer Tim Williams going into greater detail earlier this week.
“During the first Faction Rallies, we had a chance to learn a lot about how the activities motivated gameplay.”
“Strikes should feel more worthy of the time you invest in them. We noticed that players felt Lost Sectors were useful, but disliked the fact that they couldn’t enjoy them with a fireteam, so we moved the faction tokens from the destructible items to the chest at the end of the activity.
“The destructibles will still be featured as a daily milestone and are still available to help your fireteam clear out the Lost Sector.”
