Revamped Destiny 2: Experience Enhanced Weapon System, Thrilling Crucible Mode, and Conquer the Ultimate Challenge of Master Crota's End Raid

Destiny 2 has recently addressed and resolved its major glitches in weapon crafting through a new patch, clearing the path for a new raid and multiplayer content.

Bungie, the developers of Destiny 2, faced a challenging weekend when players discovered and exploited significant loopholes in weapon crafting. These bugs allowed players to add Exotic perks to their crafted Legendary weapons, resulting in overpowered and absurd gameplay. To address this issue, Bungie promptly released a hotfix that disabled the use of all crafted weapons. With the latest update, any "illegitimate" frames and perks on crafted weapons will be rectified, and players attempting to create "out-of-bounds" weapons will be redirected to the log in screen.

The Master Crota's End raid and the Checkmate Control modifier in Crucible Labs have been delayed in order to address issues with weapon crafting. With the completion of these fixes, both the raid and the modifier will be introduced into the game with this latest update.

However, Destiny 2 may still encounter further challenges. Bungie has confirmed a recent surge in error codes and disconnects over the past few days, which are not connected to the fixes or patch, but rather are the result of DDoS attacks.

Bungie has expressed that they usually do not disclose such attacks and do not intend to do so in the future due to general game security concerns. However, they acknowledge the responsibility to inform players about the increased strain on their systems, considering the recent circumstances. The company appreciates the patience of their players as their teams diligently work to protect the game's integrity and implement stability improvements according to their roadmap.

Moving on to other Destiny 2 updates, The Final Shape expansion introduces new Supers for each class, which were unveiled in a recent in-depth analysis.

The full patch notes are listed below and on the official Destiny 2 website.
