What Changes with Update 3.3.0.2 in Season 15
This is what the hotfix brings today: Bungie has finally provided us with a preview of the patch notes you can expect today (via Bungie.net). Here’s what has been announced:

- Players will no longer get stuck in the Strike “Brutefest” or the Lost Sector “Wolfship Turbine.”
- Nova Warp allows short teleportation even when “Hold Sprint” is active.
- The “Vanguard Series” will function again. This is particularly important this week as you will earn bonus reputation.
- The Danger Zone perk now correctly grants a larger explosion radius for rocket launchers.
- The Triumph “Revealer” now correctly tracks progress when you defeat Vex Wyverns with precision damage. Thus, you can earn the new title.
- The Exotic Warlock helmet “Dusk Concert” now correctly extends burn damage to enemies.
Here are some other important changes:
- Bungie announced that the two locked Exotics from Season 15 – Wormgod’s Touch (Titan) and Radiant Dance Machines (Hunter) – have been unlocked again and the issues have been resolved (via Twitter).
