In Destiny, the update 2.6.0 with version number 1.32 for PS4 and Xbox One is live. The Age of Triumph begins. Here are the patch notes in English.
This evening, on March 28, the Age of Triumph dawns for the Guardians. Since September 2014, they have been fighting against the darkness – now it is time for the players to celebrate their legends and let “Destiny 1” fade out with one last hurrah. The sequel “Destiny 2” is already on the horizon.
Around 7 PM, update 2.6.0 went live, which marks the start of the “Age of Triumph.” It is approximately 850 MB in size. Some new features, bug fixes, and adjustments were already known in advance. What else is included in the patch notes?
Update 2.6.0 Patch Notes – Highlights
First, let’s talk about the raids: You can find new weapons, armor pieces, ornaments, ghost shells, sparrows, shaders, and emblems. Once a week per account, there are “Knuckles of Eao” to earn in the featured raids. This gives you extra rewards in the raids.
- Three of Coins works with the Templar, Atheon, Ir-Yut (the Witch with Crota), and Crota. These four bosses also have challenge modes.
- The detection of inactive players in strikes is stricter.
- Xur now sells two exotic weapon packages each week: 1 exotic weapon and 1 corresponding weapon ornament are included.
