In Destiny 2 the hotfix 2.6.1.1 has been deployed today on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The servers also went offline for a while – so there was no downtime. Read here everything about the course of the maintenance work, the server downtime, and the patch notes.
This evening you can expect a new update for Destiny 2 – and at an unusual time. Normally, updates are always released on Tuesdays. However, today it’s not a big update but a hotfix that aims to solve some urgent issues. This is already live and can be downloaded. On PS4, the patch is approximately 4.12 MB in size and will be applied in-game during log-in.
These times are important today: As part of the update, there will be maintenance that takes the servers offline for 15 minutes. Provided that everything goes according to plan, here is the schedule for this evening:
- Maintenance starts at 5:00 PM German time.
- At 5:45 PM the servers will be shut down, and all Guardians will be removed from their activities. Some features of the Bungie.net site, the companion app, and third-party services will be unavailable.
- At around 6:00 PM, the servers will be brought back online. The release of hotfix 2.6.1.1 will begin on all platforms.
- Maintenance is scheduled to end at 8:00 PM.
Keep in mind: Until the maintenance is fully completed (i.e., until 8:00 PM), there may still be log-in issues.
What changes come with hotfix 2.6.1.1?
What is known so far: Regarding the changes, Bungie has already released some information. The update is expected to bring some “Quality of Life” improvements.
- Top rewards will be revised (not just in the Iron Banner, but all). This should then provide +2 power (up from +1), and you should only occupy 4 slots with the same power level to continue leveling up.
- Weapons from the Season Pass will be available from an additional source – the Vex Offensive.
- The problem with the exotic fusion rifle Telesto will also be fixed, allowing Guardians to recharge their supers much faster.
