Bungie has released hotfix 4.0.0.4 for Destiny 2, addressing key issues like perks in Gambit’s PvP component using PvE values. Weapons like Eriana’s Vow, which could previously one-shot enemy players, should now function properly. The hotfix also fixes a number of issues with The Witch Queen’s Vow of the Disciple raid like players being able to shoot any symbol for a specific lore entry.
Another issue allowed for disrupting The Caretaker in the middle of its wipe mechanic has been fixed. Some key problems with the economy like Gambit weapon and armor focusing costing too much has also been addressed. Each Gambit item should now cost 10,000 Glimmer and 50 Legendary Shards each. Furthermore, Rahool will now sell destination materials in stacks of five for the price of one Legendary Shard.
Check out some of the hotfix notes below and the full patch notes here. Destiny 2 is currently available for Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S and Stadia. Check out our review for The Witch Queen here.
