Destiny 2 Update 6.2.0.6 on 22.09. – All Patch Notes and Info

Destiny 2 is going offline today for an update, and players can expect some server downtime. MeinMMO will keep you updated on the maintenance times and explain what changes to expect afterwards.

What you need to know today: Although Tuesday is still the current “maintenance day” in Destiny 2, today’s maintenance is again happening on a Thursday. The reason is a shift that Bungie communicated to players on Twitter on September 17.

The servers will go offline today so that Bungie can roll out the already prepared Update 6.2.0.6 from the background maintenance. We will guide you through the hotfix and update this article with fresh information. So stay tuned for regular updates.

Maintenance on 22.09. – All Times and Server Downtime

As always, Bungie has published a precise schedule for players so that you are prepared and know when you can’t play.

These times are important today:

• At 5:00 PM German time, maintenance will begin in the background on all platforms.
• From 6:15 PM, the servers will go offline, and you will be automatically kicked from all activities.
• Around 7:00 PM, the servers are expected to come back online, and Update 6.2.0.6 will be rolled out for all platforms. You can then log back in to play.
• Even though the servers are back online, maintenance officially continues until 8:00 PM.

It’s important to note: Even if you have downloaded the update and are back in the game, there may be connection problems until maintenance is over. You might also have to deal with queues when logging in. Additionally, note that third-party applications as well as the official companion app might not be functioning correctly.

What Changes with Update 6.2.0.6 in Season 18

What the update brings today: Although Bungie has yet to provide details about the latest bug fixes, there are still a few issues that might be addressed in the new update.

• The loading times on the Tower are still slow. Players will therefore have to continue avoiding the H.E.L.M. to bypass this issue.
• Bungie is investigating reports from players who have no access to Destiny 2 on PS4. 
• There is a missing option for the 120 Hz refresh rate on PS5 and Xbox Series X. 
• Triumphs are missing in the Lost Sector “The Rift” and shields are not displaying correctly. 
• The key combination for a charged melee ability does not work properly with the Titan melee ability “Thundercrash” when near enemies.
• The Exotic Sparrow “Hyperborean Wing” cannot be selected in the collection. 
• The Exotic Helm “Dawn Chorus” is not displayed in the collection and is likely no longer dropping in Lost Sectors. 
• The Expedition activity shows no stats in the activity overview. 
• The Exotic quest “Xenology” does not account progress in playlist activities. 
• Repeatable star chart bounties can still be purchased even if players have a full quest inventory. 
• Player name changes are still not customizable via bungie.net. Players are still waiting for the option to change their usernames multiple times instead of just once.

If you notice any issues in the game, the recommendation is to report them directly through the official Bungie Help Forum to make the developers aware of them.
