- the seventh invitation of the nine is finally being fixed
- some indulgence achievements will be unlocked retroactively
- the faulty chaos reach super of the warlocks will be fixed

Destiny 2: Everything about maintenance, downtime and server downtimes on May 7th.
As part of today’s maintenance work, there should be brief downtimes due to scheduled server downtimes. If all goes smoothly, the servers will only remain offline for 15 minutes.
This is how the maintenance work is supposed to proceed on May 7th:
6:00 PM:
- Scheduled start of maintenance work
- Some features of the companion app will be disabled. These will then not be available on the web, on mobile devices, or through third-party services
6:30 PM:
- All features of the companion app are disabled and no longer available
6:45 PM:
- Destiny 2 servers go offline
7:00 PM:
- Destiny servers come back online
- The update 2.2.2 will be made available on all platforms and in all regions, and can now be downloaded and installed
- Features of the companion app should soon be available everywhere and in full
8:00 PM:
- Expected end of maintenance work
- Console players experiencing problems with the update should restart their console or perform a reset (No, not a factory reset!)
This is how to perform a reset on consoles: Simply disconnect your PS4 from power for about a minute or hold the power button of your Xbox One a little longer until the console shuts down and then restarts.
