In Destiny 2, the Faction Rally has ended. The winning faction is now offering its special weapon for sale. Additionally, the full patch notes for update 1.06 are now known.
Congratulations to Dead Orbit! Arach Jalaal and his faction have won the first team battle in Destiny 2. Bungie just announced this, and when you log in to Destiny 2, you’ll be greeted with a message that Dead Orbit has won.
You can now fly to Arach Jalaal in the Tower and purchase his winning weapon there. If you were a “Dead Orbit” member, it will cost you a mere 1000 Glimmer. If you pledged allegiance to another faction, you will have to fork over 50,000 Glimmer.
The winning weapon is a legendary scout rifle called Haunted Earth. We have already introduced it here. The winning weapons of the other factions remain locked. You cannot access them.
A great surprise is not the victory of Dead Orbit. We predicted days before the start of the Faction Rally that this faction would win. A survey we conducted showed that an overwhelming majority of nearly 50% of all our readers would support Dead Orbit. And so it has come to pass.
Patch Notes Update 1.06
Today, on October 3rd, update 1.0.3.1 with version number 1.06 went live. It is approximately 55 MB in size. The full patch notes are now known:
- A problem is fixed that caused players to lose access to the veteran teleport effect due to character deletion.
- A problem is fixed that caused clan engrams “Trials of the Nine” and raid rewards to contain only 10 Power.
- A problem is fixed where “Discard” was shown instead of “Store” on Faction Rally badges.
- A problem is fixed where the quest step “The Seal of His Majesty” did not progress correctly. The quest progress is still increased by 1, but only 10 seals are now required for the quest step.
- A problem is fixed where some players did not see the raid milestones after the weekly reset (the raid rewards are not affected).
- A problem is fixed where players could be continuously eliminated or unable to be revived if the finish and failure occurred simultaneously in an encounter.
- Crucible: Invisible barriers and kill volumes have been added to some maps to keep players within the intended play area. The affected maps are Eternity, Altar of Flame, Emperor’s End, Legion’s Folly, Javelin-4, and The Death Cliffs.
- Moreover, invisible physics have been added to all stairs in “The Death Cliffs” to ensure grenades bounce correctly.
- The spawning system in PvP has been adjusted so that players respawn less frequently in dangerous situations.
Note: If your character data does not load upon login, you should exit Destiny 2 and restart it. Problems are currently occurring frequently.
