For today, Thursday, September 01, Destiny 2 announced a hotfix. This means that all players will not be able to log in for a while on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia. MeinMMO follows the server downtime and tells you what issues the developers are addressing.
This is what you need to know today: After Bungie has already maintained Destiny 2 in the background for the past few days, the server downtime is now scheduled for today.
To ensure you know exactly when you can play and what changes are being made in the game, MeinMMO will guide you through Hotfix 6.2.0.2 and update this article with fresh information.
20:00: The patch notes for Hotfix 6.2.0.2 have just been released. “An ogre has gone silent!” More information about what Bungie has fixed can be found further down in the article.
19:10: Good news. Your grenade launchers are reactivated. As soon as Bungie publishes the complete patch notes, we will link them below in the article so you know what else has been adjusted.
19:00: All done. Bungie has integrated the hotfix and players can download the update. The download on Steam is 377.7 MB.
18:45: Maintenance has begun! Bungie has just taken its servers offline. Now it means to wait 15 minutes patiently. If you want to hear the latest news about Lightfall in the meantime, check here what Joe Blackburn revealed in a recent interview.
17:00: In one hour, the Destiny 2 servers will go offline for maintenance. Players should prepare and finish their ongoing activities.
8:00: Destiny 2 already started the daily and full-day backend maintenance early this morning. However, you can still log in. The official server downtime will only begin later this evening. All times and information can be found further below.
Maintenance on 01.09. – All Times and Server Downtime
As part of the update, Bungie will implement some fixes and banish faulty content from the game. However, players will also have to accept a downtime.
These times are important today:
- At 18:00 German time, maintenance will start in the background on all platforms.
- From 18:45 the servers will go offline and you will be automatically kicked from all activities.
- Around 19:00 the servers are supposed to come back online and update 6.2.0.2 will roll out for all platforms. However, you can log in and start playing again from then on.
- Officially, the maintenance for Hotfix 6.2.0.2 will only end at 20:00.
It is important: Even if you have downloaded the update and are back in the game, there may be connection issues until the maintenance ends around 20:00. You may also have to expect queues when logging in. Also, note that third-party applications as well as the official companion app may not be correctly accessible.
This changes with Update 6.2.0.2 in Season 18
This is what the update brings today: Currently, Bungie’s to-do list is very long. Since the start of Season 18, some bugs have once again slipped into the game. In addition, many items are still disabled that players cannot use.
Bungie has not yet released information about the latest bug fixes. However, there is a long list of known issues.
Some fixes may already be part of today’s update:
- Warlocks and Titans should keep their fingers crossed. Their resilience isn’t working as intended. They can no longer withstand anything when playing Arc 3.0.
- Several items are still locked. Including some heavy grenade launchers that have also led to a new problem with the power level.
- The pre-order automatic rifle “Quicksilver Storm” currently cannot be used in raids and dungeons.
- The pinnacle activity “Ketchcrash” does not grant pinnacle loot on the difficulty level “Grandmaster”.
- A challenge for crafting seasonal weapons can be obtained without actually having to craft the weapons.
- Some players could not claim their Twitch reward, an emblem that was available during Bungie’s showcase, until now.
- Regarding the armor Exotics, the Titan’s “Ice Avalanche Mantle” is still waiting for reactivation after it could briefly be used on Thursday.
- Just like the latest Titan Exotic “Contact Launcher,” which has also been temporarily locked.
- Then, some Arc 3.0 abilities, such as Thundercrash or Ballistic Strike, are buggy. The latter, for example, currently does not work with the armor mod “Heavy-handed”.
- The Bungie app and third-party apps like “Destiny Item Manager” (DIM) or the Ishtar Collective have been struggling with long loading times since the start of Season 18.
- And in the raid, an ogre is also screaming.
If you experience problems in the game yourself, it is recommended to report them directly via the official Bungie Help Forum to make the developers aware of them.
