![Destiny: This is what the patch will do tonight on 3.5. [Patch notes in English]](https://images.mein-mmo.de/medien/2014/08/Destiny-Roboter-e1553150268970.jpg){kind=small}
In Destiny a patch will be deployed tonight on May 3rd. Here’s what’s behind it.
Tonight at 7:00 PM a patch will go live for Destiny on Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3 and Playstation 4.
Bungie states: Players must log back into Destiny after returning to the title screen to install the patch. Guardians should not be removed from activities they are currently participating in, according to Bungie.
The reason for the patch: Bungie wants to change the netcode for Destiny, so that melee combat becomes better and players no longer “whiff” because their Guardian is not where they see them, but actually in a different location.
Tonight, nothing will change directly with the patch, instead, new code will be deployed which Bungie will observe for a week to see if it causes any issues. Next Tuesday at 7:00 PM the new melee code will become active. Bungie will also observe this to disable it in case of any difficulties.
