In preparation for the latest update, the Destiny 2 servers will go offline. You can expect update 4.0.1.1 today, April 26, on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia. You will find the most important times and information regarding the planned hotfix on MeinMMO.
Here’s what you need to know today: Bungie is heading towards comprehensive changes for better balance. Some of the announced buffs and nerfs will only make their way into the game in Season 17 and 18. This includes the significant nerf for the Hunter Exotic St0mp-EE5 and the buffs for various exotic weapons.
However, the developer is already addressing a few issues in the current Season 16. Among them is the bug that some players were unable to redeem their title triumph for the “Conqueror” because the new Strikes “The Lightblade” and “The Birthplace of Evil” were not always recognized for it.
To ensure you know exactly when you can play and what changes are happening in the game today, MeinMMO will guide you through the update 4.0.1.1 and continuously update this article with fresh information.
