In Destiny 2, on September 17th, the update 2.5.2.3 will be deployed. Maintenance is underway. You can learn about what is changing today here.
These are the important times on September 17th: Today, Bungie is rolling out a new update that includes a “Quality of Life” change. Maintenance is necessary, but this will only take place in the background, and the servers will remain online.
- Maintenance will begin at 6:45 PM. No downtime is expected, but there may be outages on Bungie.net and the companion app.
- At 7 PM, update 2.5.2.3 goes live. It will be available on all platforms worldwide.
- At 11 PM, all Guardians will be kicked from their activities if they have not installed the update by then. You will be taken to the login screen and will only be able to log back in once update 2.5.2.3 is installed. So make sure to download the update in a timely manner.
- By 11:05 PM, the maintenance should be complete.
Update 7:05 PM: The update is now live. It is being installed directly during login.
According to Bungie, there may be login issues until the end of the maintenance. If you have trouble pulling the update on PS4 and Xbox One, you should restart the console and Destiny 2.
What changes with update 2.5.2.3?
These are the changes: Bungie will release the full patch notes tonight when the update goes live. Update: The patch notes are now available:
- A problem will be fixed that prevents some Guardians from activating Cross Save.
- Additionally, the accounting will be simplified. All negative modifiers will be removed.
- The annual pass content is now available for all Forsaken owners.
The accounting is a PvE mode that was once particularly difficult and unpopular, but is now receiving some love from Bungie this September. After the mode was adjusted two weeks ago to make it easier and more rewarding, it will become even easier today.
There will now only be a weekly burning modifier and a rotation of the three modifiers “Brawler”, “Grenadier”, and “Heavyweight” in the accounting. This means that the mode will only have modifiers that empower you, and none that limit you.
Bungie’s goal is to make the mode more fun and rewarding, thus bridging the gap between you and your desired rewards. Your Guardian life will therefore be a little easier today.
Furthermore, the badge from the community challenge should be distributed this week. More information can be found here:
