In Destiny, the complete patch notes for update 2.4.1 are known. This update is marked with version 1.29.
On the evening of October 18th, update 2.4.1 went live for PS4 and Xbox One. It is available for guardians to download. It was already known in advance that this patch will raise the maximum light level to 400. However, it also brings numerous other changes.
Three major surprises are included in the patch notes:
- The Lighthouse on Mercury is now a meeting point where up to 9 players with a flawless trial ticket can gather.
- Items from reward packages of the Vanguard, Crucible, and factions go “only” up to light level 390.
- The patch notes surprisingly discuss a lot about horns. Preparations for the next Sparrow Racing League are apparently already underway. There is also preparation for the Festival of the Lost.
Additionally, there are some bug fixes.
And importantly: All changes regarding the light level increase beyond 385 will only take effect with the release of the heroic mode of “Wrath of the Machine”, so only starting today at 11 PM!
