In Destiny 2, the new update 3.0.0.4 releases today, on November 24th, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia. The hotfix is accompanied by maintenance and a server downtime. MeinMMO provides you with the important times and planned changes to the loot.
This is happening today: Recently, Destiny 2: Beyond Light was finally released. Bungie is now diligently working to iron out bugs and inconsistencies in the expansion. Adjustments have already been made to the overpowered Stasis classes . Today, the biggest criticism, the lack of loot, is to be addressed.
For this reason, the hotfix 3.0.0.4 is released today, November 24, 2020. The article will be updated throughout the day so you don’t miss anything.
Update 6:15 PM: The hotfix is now available on all platforms. On PS4, it has the version number 2.05 and is 161 MB in size.
However, this also comes with maintenance and even a server downtime. MeinMMO will tell you when the Destiny downtime is scheduled for today and what you need to pay attention to.
Maintenance on November 24th – Everything about the process and server downtime
These are the important times:
- 5:00 PM maintenance begins on all platforms.
- 5:45 PM the Destiny servers go offline and the downtime begins. All active players will be removed from their activities.
- 6:00 PM the servers are back online and update 3.0.0.4 will be rolled out worldwide on all platforms.
- Once the update is downloaded (and copied), you can play Destiny 2 again.
- 7:00 PM maintenance is scheduled to end.
Note: Until the maintenance is completed, there may be queues at login or connection issues. Also note: Third-party applications and the official companion app are not accessible during this time.
What changes with update 3.0.0.4 in Beyond Light
What’s in the hotfix? Bungie has already given a preview of the contents of the new update. This will be the first step against the biggest criticism of Beyond Light, the loot scarcity.
For this, the world loot pool will undergo the following adjustments:
- All legendary weapons that will retire at the end of season 12 (infusion limit) will disappear from the loot pool.
- All Seventh Seraph weapons from season 10 will be added anew – they were previously obtainable through Rasputin and the corresponding season pass.
- The legendary arsenal of weapons from season of arrival will return – this includes the season pass guns and the updated planet weapons from season 11.
- The newer an item is, the more likely it is to drop as a reward.
Whether the weapons have the infusion limit of the current season 12 or the limit of their initial introduction is not quite clear. Keep in mind that as Bungie itself says, this is just a small, first step. You can find more about this here on MeinMMO:
In addition, the Destiny developer has a pretty long list of known issues to address (via Bungie.net). Whether any of these will be addressed in the hotfix on November 24 is currently unknown. The complete changes can be found in the patch notes.
The update also includes some fixes from the aforementioned problem list. But also a rather humorous fix:
A problem was resolved where enemies continuously appeared during certain activities in the Cosmodrome.
NOTE: This should solve a problem where hordes of guardians gathered in the rift and shot into a cavernous structure.
This is the “new” loot cave that distracted the guardians from fighting the darkness.
