Destiny 2 - Void 3.0

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, Bungie’s next big expansion for their first-person shooter, is finally out for players to dive into, having released amidst much hype and excitement– however, the expansion and the game as a whole do have some shortcomings in terms of glitches and exploits, which the developer is ironing out in a swift manner.

Today, Bungie has rolled out a new hotfix that addresses some of those issues. Numbered 4.0.0.2, it temporarily disables the chests in Savathun’s Throne World, as the developers noticed numerous instances of a bug where the chests were being opened far more quickly than intended. Furthermore, a fix for the mission Sabotaging Salvation has also been issues, which now lets players finish the questline, followed by general bug fixes.

The patch notes for the hotfix are sizeable, to say the least, and address a great deal more on top of the aforementioned stuff- you can get all of those details below.
