Bungie’s Destiny had a new hotfix go live yesterday, bringing a few changes and fixes for Crucible, Eververse and other miscellaneous issues. The patch notes for the same can be viewed below.
Hotfix 2.6.0.2 fixes a critical issue that caused the timer in Elimination to stop completely, thus making rounds last forever. This was particularly irritating for Trials of Osiris players as they had no means to escape without taking a loss.
Other issues like previous Flawless runs in Trials of Osiris not being counted in the Record Book if they took place before Rise of Iron’s release and invisible physics for players trying to get outside the intended playable space on Rusted Lands have been fixed.
Though Bungie continues to support Destiny, all eyes are on the developer for its upcoming gameplay reveal of Destiny 2 on May 18th. The sequel is currently set to release on September 8th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
