Today, on October 30, 2018, the update 2.0.5 for Destiny 2 was released. We have summarized all the important information about the content, maintenance, patch notes, and downtime for you.
Today, Destiny 2 has already received its second update in October. It is 149.5 MB on PS4.
This brings numerous changes that Bungie has announced in recent months finally into the game. We explain to you what is included in the current Destiny 2 patch and how the maintenance works.
These new features await you on 30.10. in Destiny 2
This is included in update 2.0.5: With update 2.0.5 , Bungie is addressing specific concerns with Forsaken for the first time. While update 2.0.4 two weeks ago also fixed some issues, it was primarily about bringing new content. Many of the “larger issues” are being tackled today.
These are the most important known changes in update 2.0.5:
- More sources for enhancement cores (formerly masterwork cores)
- Fewer duplicate exotics, higher chance for Forsaken exotics
- “Bad luck protection” on nightfall rewards, making it easier for guardians to obtain desirable items
- It will be easier to delete individual shaders (0.25 seconds instead of 1 second)
- The Gunsmith will now take 25 materials at once instead of 10
- The Sleeper Simulant is being nerfed (less ammo per shot)
- Damage from swords and fusion rifles increases in PvE
- The exotic hand cannon “Hand Cannon” becomes stronger (explosion damage increases, more damage against Taken and invaders)
- The exotic bow “Wishender” becomes stronger (higher base damage)
- The stack size for ghost fragments increases from 10 to 20
A complete list of all changes will be available in the patch notes as soon as they are published.

Destiny 2 – Patch Notes for Update 2.0.5.
The official patch notes for update 2.0.5 are not yet available in German. As soon as they are provided, we will post them here as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we have linked the original English changelog for you:
The mysterious quest at the Festival of the Lost starts today after update 2.0.5
This is what the new quest after update 2.0.5 brings: After downloading and installing update 2.0.5, a new quest line will start with today’s Weekly Reset at the Festival of the Lost:
Master Ives, the former Cryptarch of the Reef, has been murdered. Now it is up to the Guardians to solve the murder case and avenge the old friend. This allows you to earn another powerful reward each week.
This is what Guardians can still expect: Additionally, it is speculated that this mysterious quest could lead Guardians to the Cosmodrome on Earth one last time and that at the end, possibly the first heavy machine gun in Destiny 2 awaits as a reward – the Thunderlord.
UPDATE: As a fresh leak claims, the Thunderlord will likely not be available for another three weeks.
