A week before the launch of Forsaken, Bungie made some vital changes to Destiny 2 with Update 2.0.0. However, this also came with some inconveniences for players, which have now been listed in the official forum.
The latest update for Destiny 2 has brought some changes and prepared the game for the upcoming release of Forsaken. However, some players are reporting issues that Bungie has compiled along with general information in the official forum.
About Quests, Mods, and Missing XP Displays
In a post, the developers have gathered bugs and inconveniences that Guardians may encounter after Patch 2.0.0. Some of these should be fixed with an upcoming patch, while players will have to wait for the launch of Forsaken for other complications.
As of now (August 29, 2018, 9 AM), the following issues have been recorded:
- Cayde’s Spicy Noodle Soup: Players who had the milestone for the quest “Cayde’s Spicy Noodle Soup” before the update can no longer complete the quest. With Patch 2.0.0, the ramen shop no longer issues coupons.
- Infusing Armor: Players who only own the base game and the DLC “Curse of Osiris” will not be able to infuse their Sundial Armor into other armor pieces with Forsaken.
- Quests: After the new patch, players may receive an error message stating that they can only track four quests when selecting a quest.
- Vault: Players with many items in their vault may encounter problems with displaying and loading descriptions. This issue should be resolved with the launch of Forsaken.
- Transmat Preview: Players may encounter visual issues with the preview of transmat effects, where the character’s appearance is not displayed correctly.
- XP Not Displayed Correctly: As some players report, they do not see XP gains when completing activities and fighting enemies. According to Bungie, this is only a visual issue; players should still receive their experience points.
- Forsaken Items: Players are currently receiving items from the Forsaken expansion. According to Bungie, this was not intended.
Furthermore, Bungie released some information about significant changes that players will encounter with the new update:
- Xûr: The Vendor of the Nine will no longer sell the item Three of Coins with Update 2.0.0. The coins can be dismantled into Legendary Shards after the launch of Forsaken.
- Weapon Mods: With the update, exotic weapons will lose their +5 power from Year 1 mods. Legendary weapons and armor will lose their power from Year 1 mods only with the launch of Forsaken.
- So that you are not judged: With the latest update, the Trials of the Nine are going on pause and will be revamped. The trophy or achievement cannot be obtained during this time. Bungie intends to comment on the future of the PvP mode at a later time.
- Weapons and the Post Office: With the change in weapon slots, some of your weapons may have been shifted. If you can no longer find certain weapons in your inventory, they may have been moved to the Post Office. Make sure to free up enough space in the Post to avoid losing any of your weapons.
- Nightfall Points: Scoring for the Nightfall strike has been disabled until the launch of Forsaken.
Lastly, there is information about changes and bugs related to weapon and armor perks:
- Perk “Triple”: The perk “Triple,” which can be found on the Hand Cannon Grim Promise, will continue to restore one round from reserves on precision hits until September 4th. However, with the launch of Forsaken, the perk will change and provide Guardians with free ammunition.
- Perk “Herd Decimation”: The perk of the exotic grenade launcher Lion’s Roar still indicates that the weapon generates energy ammunition on kills. After Update 2.0.0, however, the weapon will receive primary ammunition from Year 2.
- Perk “It’s Getting Hot”: The perk of the exotic Titan gloves Ashen Wake indicates that fusion grenades explode on impact and gain a faster throw rate. However, this is not correct and will be changed in the future.
