What changes with hotfix 4.0.0.4 in season 16
What the hotfix brings today: It is firmly planned for today to remove the resource caps for weapon crafting. What else is being addressed in the latest hotfix 4.0.0.4, we do not yet know. However, Bungie has already published a list of known issues in the last TWaB blog (This Week at Bungie) that are on the to-do list.
This includes the bug that armors are only available with very low stat values, which currently affects the NPC vendors in the Tower, Ikora Rey in the legendary campaign and Xur.
What is currently on Bungie’s hotfix list:
- Increased occurrence of error codes Marmot, Centipede, and Calabrese.
- Players who go flawless in Trials do not receive weapons or rewards after their victory. Also, no Mementos drop in Trials of Osiris.
- The progress tracking for “The Oryx’s Leviathan” raid teams seems to be broken.
- Season 15 Pathfinder and Season 14 Lightbearer armor sets can no longer be applied as ornaments if they have been unlocked through armor synthesis.
- The yellow subtitles on the PS5 platform are either not visible or appear and are only displayed as white text.
- And unfortunately, there is also still an issue with the Bungie names, as not all players have been able to change their Bungie name after the release.
These errors have additionally been reported by players:
- In Gambit, the sniper hand cannon Eriana’s Vow is out of control.
- The charge banners in the activity “Source” on Grandmaster and in the raid “Oryx’s SotN” do not always work correctly. Sometimes it takes a while for players to charge.
- In the activity “Vox Obscura” on Grandmaster, errors occur where players can fall through the map with the tank and have to start from the beginning.
If you notice any issues in the game, it is recommended to report them directly through the official Bungie Help Forum to raise awareness.
Patch notes for hotfix 4.0.0.4 in Destiny 2
What is in the patch notes? The patch notes for today’s update will be released later. Traditionally, the information is published together or a bit later after the update itself. As soon as we have them, we will add them here as a link.
- The patch notes for hotfix 4.0.0.4 (eng.) have been released.
Many Guardians are primarily waiting for the fix for the poor armor values at the NPCs, so that visiting the vendors becomes worthwhile again. Are you in the same boat? And have you also noticed errors in the game that Bungie may have overlooked? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
At least you can expect the first improvements for weapon crafting after the update:
