On this holiday, October 3rd, the servers of Destiny 2 will also take a short break. MeinMMO is therefore, as always, taking a look at the exact downtime and possible changes that might come to light during this respite.
7:00 PM: Bungie’s update went well. The file size for the download is 126.9 MB on PC: If you have downloaded it, you can jump directly into the last story week. You can find the patch notes further down in the article.
4:20 PM: Destiny 2 has taken its servers offline for maintenance as planned. Now we have to wait.
What you need to know today: At least the DDoS attack from the past weeks seems to have been weathered by Destiny 2 for now. The servers are running more stably and players are no longer constantly kicked with error codes.
Bungie now has more time to address the other issues in Destiny 2. However, the servers will again take a short break today, during which you cannot play.
- For instance, the developer is still working on ensuring that Guardians who have completed the challenge “Crota’s End” in competitive mode receive the “There Can Be Only One” triumph and the corresponding emblem.
We will keep you updated today as usual about the start and duration of the server downtime so that you can optimally plan your activities in Destiny 2. So check back for an update to not miss any important details.
Maintenance on October 3rd – All Times for Server Down
These times are important today: Bungie shares all information about maintenance via Twitter/X and we regularly inform you about downtime in Germany. The planned downtime today is again 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Here is the exact schedule for the maintenance:
- At 3 PM, background maintenance will begin on all platforms.
- At about 4:15 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
- During the downtime, Bungie will release the Season 22 Update 7.2.0.6. It will be rolled out gradually so that players on all platforms can download it.
- By 7 PM, everything should be back online and you can try to log in again.
- The maintenance will continue in the background until 9 PM.
Also keep in mind that third-party applications and the official companion app might also be unavailable for a while, so you cannot use them.
What changes with Update 7.2.0.6 in Season 22
This will be included in Update 7.2.0.6: As always, Bungie publishes its current to-do list of things that are not functioning properly in the game. This list is also actively influenced by players reporting bugs on the Bungie forum.
Here are the bugs currently on this list:
- It may happen that Guardians are blocked during the Path of Knives by simultaneously going through various steps of the quest.
- The exotic equipment piece for Titans “Path of Burning Steps” and the associated ornaments no longer change their appearance when the boost perk for solar weapons is active.
- The cooldown of the exotic equipment pieces “Frost-Guard Z” and “Icefall Cloak” for Titans is incorrect.
- When the weapon details of items are displayed in players’ vaults, the symbols for weapon perks no longer appear.
- Some players who have not fully completed the story missions of the Season of Depth cannot complete the current weekly story mission of the Season of the Witch until they have finished the story of the previous season.
- Returning players who did not fully complete the introduction quest “A Guardian Rises” before the start of Lightfall cannot accept the quest “Learning from the Light”.
- Several armor pieces can obstruct aiming when using the targeting apparatus with the exotic fusion rifle “Area Effect”.
- Due to an issue, it is currently still not possible to withdraw equipment for saved loadouts from the vault. They must lie with the character.
- The Lightfall event of the Vex Strike Force to obtain current exotics has an issue. It may not start even though the flag announces the event. As a result, players often travel in vain to Neomuna to participate in the public event.
- Also worth noting: Player name changes are not infinitely customizable via bungie.net. Several “Number-Guardians” as well as “Ada-1 personal USB stick” are still waiting for the option to change their username again instead of receiving the message “You have no name changes available”.
If you know of any other bugs in the game that are not listed here but have caught your attention, feel free to share them in our comment section.
Patch Notes for Update 7.2.0.6 in Destiny 2
What is in the patch notes? Bungie publishes a list of all changes for Update 7.2.0.6 in the form of patch notes. A complete overview of all resolved issues and improvements will however be posted online later tonight.
As soon as they are published, we will update our article for you and link to the patch notes, as there may still be changes after that.
What else is important? Maintenance phases are unfortunately an unavoidable part of a live service game like Destiny 2, as they lay the foundation for a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.
Although they may temporarily restrict access to the game, they are a necessary step to ensure that bugs do not remain in the game and that you can play as usual without too much disruption.
Keep an eye on this article to stay updated on the progress of the maintenance work and look forward to the new weekly reset that awaits you right after the update is completed.
As this article shows, Bungie now employs not only developers, but also players: Destiny 2 hired players from the reddit forum as new weapon experts
