Today, Destiny 2 will receive an update. This time with version number 7.3.0.2. Players will need to prepare for another downtime this week. MeinMMO has all the information and times for you.
6:05 PM: The patch notes and update are here. The download size is 100.3 MB and the patch notes are relatively straightforward. We have linked them at the bottom.
3:15 PM: The services of Destiny 2 are now offline. You can find the exact schedule for today further down in the article.

This is what you need to know today: The developers of Destiny 2, Bungie, announced today on their official Twitter/X channel that the servers will need to be taken down again for maintenance for Update 7.3.0.1.
There was already a regular downtime on Tuesday for Update 7.3.0.2. For devoted Guardians, this is always a mixed experience.
- On one hand, it means that your beloved shooter is temporarily inaccessible.
- On the other hand, there is hope that this will fix bugs in the game and that there will also be improvements, such as the desired fix for creating Orbs through the mods “Heavy-Handed”, “Firepower” and “Reaper”.
MeinMMO will tell you how long the downtime will last so that you know exactly when you cannot play.
The new dungeon “Wreck of the Warlord” will then also be offline for a while:
Maintenance on 07.12. – All times for server downtime

This is the schedule for the maintenance:
- At 2:00 PM, background maintenance begins on all platforms.
- At approximately 3:15 PM, the servers go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
- During the downtime, Bungie will gradually roll out the update 7.3.0.2 so that players on all platforms can download and install it.
- At 6:00 PM, the shooter is expected to be back online, and you can log in again.
- The maintenance will continue in the background until 8:00 PM.
What changes with Update 7.3.0.2 in Season 23
This will be included in Update 7.3.0.2: One issue that may be fixed in today’s update from Bungie is that Guardians in Destiny 2 are currently catching fire. But not intentionally, as a bug in Season 23 is causing fire under their behind.
This has already changed:
- Based on initial player reactions, the mode “Iron Banner Tribute” will be replaced by “Iron Banner Control” for the rest of the week. The change will take effect after the update.
- Iron Banner is supposed to be a celebration of PvP, and Bungie wants to ensure that everyone has a positive experience while playing. An improved tribute experience is coming back soon.
The following bugs are currently on Bungie’s to-do list:
- Based on initial player reactions, the mode “Iron Banner Tribute” will be replaced by “Iron Banner Control” for the rest of the week. The change will take effect after the update.
- Iron Banner is supposed to be a celebration of PvP, and Bungie wants to ensure that everyone has a positive experience while playing. An improved tribute experience is coming back soon.
- The buff “Scorching Wish” applies continuously Scorching in various ways to players during the activity “The Winding”.
- The catalyst quest “The Breath of the Dragon” does not progress in S23 activities.
- When the automatic melee setting is activated, glaives will almost always execute a double melee.
- The “Gambit Legacy Armor” costs 15,000 Legendary Shards to focus instead of Glimmer.
- The cards of the Great Arcana in the Season of the Witch erroneously state that they expire at the end of Season 22 rather than at the end of Season 23.
- Some emojis in the fireteam finder may not be available at the start of the beta test on certain platforms.
- The dismantle perk does not refund ammunition for fusion rifles correctly.
- Checkmate control is not counted towards the progress of the weekly challenge.
- The pulse rifle “Belisar-D” no longer drops for players who complete their placement matches in the competitive crucible.
- The title “Star Baker” is no longer available.
- Some rocket launchers will no longer be displayed in the preview screen.
- New dungeon and season armor sets will be displayed in players’ appearance screens even if they are not unlocked.
- Activity ghost mods use placeholder icons.
- Occasionally, Eva Levante’s head may be missing.
- Veist auto rifles can rotate partially off-screen in the inspection view.
- Players can die through finishers if the enemy dies before the finisher animation is completed.
- The armor mods “Powerful Friends” and “Radiant Light” require at least one armor charge to be activated.
- The resilience stat computes damage resistance of the previous tier when it is a multiple of 10. A resilience of 100 provides the intended benefit appropriately.
- When dying in the boss arena of the Hyper-Net Power Strike, the Guardian’s ghost may get stuck in the ground.
- Player name changes are not infinitely customizable on bungie.net. Multiple “number guardians” are still waiting for the option to change their player name again instead of receiving the message “You have no name changes available”.
This is not a comprehensive listing of all known issues, but rather a targeted list of specific error sources. If other issues occur within the game, it would be helpful if you could share them in our comment section.
