In the MMO shooter Destiny , the patches for the update on 9.2., for patch 2.1, have been released.
At this moment, the patch notes for 2.1. went online. There are no big surprises. It will be the expected PvP update. There is almost no news for PvE: Some fixes in the raid King’s Fall are coming, and some other rather marginal changes are making their way to Destiny: In the Nightfall strike, there will be fewer Ghost shells, thereby increasing the likelihood of other rewards.
The major highlights such as the event Crimson Week or changes to PvP were introduced in recent weeks. There are going to be significant changes to PvP; Bungie wants to finally tackle the lag issue. However, the damage referee, which is supposed to disadvantage laggers, is currently only active in Control. You can best read about the changes in the major articles we had on this.
The patch is not live yet at 19:27, but it is said to appear on all platforms in the next few minutes, according to Bungie via Twitter.
The February Update is being deployed to all platforms. Your download will be available soon. Please stand by.

Other changes in the patch notes that were not previously known:
- The mysterious excess icon has been removed from the kiosk, which appeared when players purchased the MIDA Multi-Tool. So nothing with Phantom Exotic.
- Additionally, a problem with Häkke pulse rifles has been resolved so that they should now deal similar damage to other pulse rifles.
- There are two new “Inferno” playlists: Inferno 3v3 and 6v6. These come in addition to the “Freelancer” solo queue playlists (which can only be signed up for individually).
- In the Nightfall strike, there will now be a lower chance of Ghost shells, but a higher chance for other items.
- In the raid’s Totem room, players can become more immune using the sword’s block function. Totems now kill players after a longer time if they stand under the totem for too long.
- The next Iron Banner returns on February 23 at 7:00 PM.
- In Iron Banner, there will now be 20% more reputation for a win. Additionally, Lord Saladin will be marked when you can pick up the special packages at ranks 3 and 5.
- In the Trials of Osiris, rewards will now happen more frequently so that players do not leave empty-handed. Additionally, the wait time after a match will be reduced by 15 seconds.
The most important changes that patch 2.1 brings to Destiny can be read in these articles:
- Destiny: Crimson Week – Event turns Tower red, brings new shaders, emotes, ghost shells
- Destiny: What the February update brings – Bungie means business with the lag
