What is it about? Today, January 29, things will be happening in Destiny 2. Because today the extensive update 2.1.4 will be released, which will address many of the current issues.
Many bug fixes and “Quality of Life” improvements will be implemented. Additionally, there will be extensive adjustments in the sandbox, and fresh content for owners with the Forsaken Annual Pass.
The update will be accompanied by several hours of maintenance work. The exact schedule can be found as usual in our update article. All major changes are summarized here at a glance.
These changes will come with update 2.1.4 for Destiny 2
There will be extensive changes, especially in the area of the sandbox. There, the weapon balance and the Super of the Guardians will be adjusted.
What changes with the abilities and Supers: Destiny 2 will adjust numerous ultimate attacks as well as some abilities of the Guardians and bring them into better harmony with each other. Two of the currently most powerful Supers, the Warlock’s Nova Warp and the Hunter’s Blade Barrage, will be weakened. However, many other Supers will receive a buff.
- Destiny 2 makes Supers even “superer” – except for 2, which will be nerfed
- Destiny 2 changes the Supers – These are the winners and losers
One of the revamped Supers, the Golden Gun of the Hunter, has already been briefly shown in action by Bungie. And fans are already thrilled.
What changes with the weapons: There will also be numerous adjustments in the area of weapon balance. Some neglected weapon types and individual weapons will receive a buff. However, some exotic firearms will also receive nerfs.
Especially among fans of scout rifles, there is great hope that this weapon type will finally be strengthened and take a worthy place among the other weapon types.
Additionally, it was recently announced that grenade launchers will receive a nerf, for which no one really asked. This essentially makes a popular PvP perk of these weapons completely useless.
These are some of the most important fixes in the upcoming update: Bungie has particularly listened to player feedback regarding the forges. Numerous bugs will be fixed, and “Quality of Life” improvements will be introduced.
Furthermore, the coveted yet problematic raid achievement “Diamantengleich” will be fixed – however, not in the way that many players had hoped. It will finally be possible to earn the new Blacksmith title of the Black Armory.
These contents go live with the new update
The first premium DLC “The Black Armory” has nearly exhausted its content and brings its last known updates for Annual Pass owners. New content is expected to be available next season, except for the Scarlet Week, which is accessible to everyone.
What players get with the Forsaken Season Pass: With update 2.1.4, the exotic quest “The Draw” will start. This quest is expected to lead players to the 5th and final exotic weapon of the Black Armory DLC – the hand cannon “The Last Word”.

What fans are speculating about: Additionally, many Guardians suspect that with the new update 2.1.4, the story of Forsaken might finally be continued or take a decisive turn. Could the curse of the Dreaming City finally be broken soon?
As you can see, there will be many changes in Destiny 2. But keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive list of all upcoming changes. A complete list can be found today in the patch notes.
