While curious Destiny fans can check out the full patch notes below, some highlights include the new reputation panel for Faction experience, better rotation of Crucible and Strike maps while in a playlist, and matchmaking for Weekly Heroic Strikes. The update makes it so specific Grimoire cards unlock properly, giving players a chance to dig deeper into Destiny’s story…on Bungie.net.
Outside of the fix for the heavy ammo bug – which has been addressed – the update’s biggest change is no doubt the weapon tuning. We knew that Pulse Rifles were going to get an improvement and Auto Rifles were going to lose a little effectiveness, but the update also tweaks Hand Cannon range and accuracy as well. The update also makes Fusion Rifles a little less precise by widening their burst cone.
Unfortunately, that last item has also hit the Vex Mythoclast with some unexpected nerfs. Bungie intended for the damage cone to increase on the weapon, but that small tweak has resulted in an unexpected change to ammo capacity while in Crucible. They hope to correct the issue in a future update, but for now Mythoclast owners will be left with less ammo in PvP.
