A new week begins in Destiny 2, which also means a new patch. Bungie is taking down its servers for update 8.0.0.4 to refresh its loot shooter a bit. Here’s what you need to know about the downtime.
What you need to know today: Today, Bungie is releasing a tougher version of the 12-player mission “Excision.” In this one, players fight against the weakened Witness to eliminate him once and for all.
Bungie promises good loot, and to ensure the servers can handle it, they will be taken down for a standard maintenance. We will keep you updated on the downtime and any issues that arise.
Maintenance on 18.06. – All times for server downtime
These times are important today: Bungie informs its players about the exact downtime via x.com (formerly Twitter). It’s planned that the servers will be unreachable for 3:15 hours today.
Here’s what the maintenance schedule looks like:
- At 15:00, background maintenance will start on all platforms.
- At around 15:45, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
- At 19:00, the shooter is expected to be back online and you can log in again.
- The maintenance will continue in the background until 21:00.
Please also note that third-party applications as well as the official companion app may also be unavailable for some time, meaning you can’t use them.
What changes with the new update in Episode: Echos
The following issues are known: There are many issues in The Final Shape that players are complaining about. Bungie is aware of some of them, but it is not known which of these will be fixed (via bungie.net). However, the following bugs could be addressed:
- PC players with 3D audio enabled cannot hear any sound
- The popup “Leaving for The Final Shape” has the wrong key art
- When prismatically gifted hunters activate their new ultimate while wall-running, they fall
- The hunter aspect that boosts your blade of flames ultimate doesn’t work
- The description of the arc staff ultimate for hunters does not mention a blind effect after a three-combo or slam attack
