What Changes with Update 3.4.0.4 in Season 15
What the Hotfix brings today: Bungie has not communicated anything specific about the changes beforehand. Several issues are already known and have now been fixed.
This is what is currently on Bungie’s Hotfix list:

- The score streak of the “Trials of Eternity” now grants a maximum of 125 points per completion.

If you also notice problems in the game, it is recommended to report them directly via the official Bungie Help Forum to raise awareness.
Patch Notes for the Update in Destiny 2
What’s in the Patch Notes?
Bungie publishes the comprehensive list of all changes from Hotfix 3.4.0.4 in the form of patch notes. Traditionally, the information appears together or a little later after the update itself. Here we will link you the complete change log:
- With the buff “Frontal Assault,” players could not consistently kill the target with a charged melee.
- A problem was fixed that caused you to receive less reputation in the “Trials of Eternity” than intended.
- And your hand cannons are now reloaded instead of empty after you spawn.
Some players noted that the new downtimes on Tuesdays and Thursdays bring way too many outages. Do you feel the same way? Or do you prefer more frequent short downtimes and fewer bugs in the game? Or are the downtimes in Destiny 2 already too much of a good thing? How do you experience this in other games? Share your experiences with us in the comments.
