Destiny 2’s Season of Dawn is now live, adding a new seasonal activity in the Sundial, new Seasonal Ranks and Exotics to earn. It also sees the release of update 2.7.0 which buffs different weapons, removes some Strike from The Ordeal and fixes a number of bugs. This is the same update that sees Recluse nerfed and the Xenophage buffed.
For those grinding away in the Nightfall: The Ordeal, it now has three new Strikes focused on the Cabal. Two new Cabal modifiers and three new Strike-specific modifiers are also available. Some fixes are also live for the Pit of Heresy, Altar of Sorrow and Garden of Salvation raid.
The update also introduces the ability to execute a random finisher on a foe, with up to nine that can be marked as your favourite at a time. While the content seems fairly bare right now, Season of Dawn will continue to drip-feed new activities and story content over the next few months. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime and check out some of the patch notes below.
