Destiny 2 Update 4.0.1 Patch Notes
ACTIVITIES
- The Wellspring: Attack:
- Fixed an issue that could cause teams to incorrectly wipe on PED difficulty during the ritual disruption phase of Attack if they completed the objective with only a few seconds left on the clock.
- Added failsafe to all carry objects in the ritual and boss phases so that they respawn in a reachable location if they are never picked up for 30 seconds. This should unblock the activity if they somehow spawn or fall out of bounds.
- Altar of Reflection
- Fixed an issue where the Altar of Reflection was not appearing, blocking players from completing Evidence Board Quest: Report: ALTAR-REFLECT
- Lost Sectors
- Fixed an issue where Rare (blue) engrams were dropping from PED Lost Sector chests
- Vow of the Disciple
- Fixed an issue where players could bring relics out of the Exhibition area.
- Fixed multiple places where players could get out of environment.
- Fixed an issue where the Resonant Shard timer would not decrement.
- Fixed an issue where the Symmetrical Energy triumph would trigger inconsistently.
- Fixed an issue where Rhulk would sometimes not transition back to his initial phase properly.
- Fixed an issue where players could have one of Rhulk’s weakspots open prematurely by depositing Emanating Force late in the encounter loop.
- Fixed an issue where The Caretaker could be permanently stunned before being able to deal damage.
- Fixed an issue where players could spread Leeching Force and charge it at the same time.
- Fixed an issue where The Caretaker’s dynamic health threshold UI would not consistently display for all players.
- Throne World (Freeroam):
- Fixed an issue where runes could appear before activating deepsight, and couldn’t be revealed again if player didn’t complete puzzle from the first try.
- Fixed an issue where a material node in Miasma bubble was not appearing.
- Fixed an issue where players could duplicate the Resonant Charge carry object.
- Fixed issue with available lucent executioner not rotating out of Flourescent Canal.
- Fixed issue with qualichor pursuit auto-completing reward step.
- Gambit:
- Fixed an issue where stacking the Primeval Slayer buff also ramped up super recharge to larger than intended rates.
- Fixed an issue where players could spawn into maps early by defeating themselves in the ready room.
- Fixed an issue where players would see an empty box next to enemy player names when invading.
- This should now consistently show the enemy players’ class icon
- Fixed an issue where placing Titan Barricade through the Allied Invasion Portal could disable said portal.
- PsiOps:
- Fixed an issue where revives did not award points for scoring.
- Fixed an issue where enemies sometimes didn’t spawn after entering the Dark Forest area.
- Trials of Osiris:
- Fixed an issue where Adept Trials weapons were dropping for wins past 7 on a Passage of Confidence without first requiring a Flawless ticket.
- Dev note: Funny enough, this is the biproduct of something we’ve been working on over the last season to improve Adept drop rates post-flawless, as well as help the Flawless pool feel more rewarding… which leads us to the next patch note!
- Once players have gone flawless in a given week, they now have a chance of earning Adept Weapon drops on any Trials Ticket that has earned 7 or more wins while the Flawless Pool is active, regardless of loss counts.
- This will reset weekly.
