Destiny 2 Update Fixes Menagerie Chest Exploit, Adds More Clan XP Sources

Bungie’s Destiny 2 has been updated with Moments of Triumph and its accompanying hall now available for players to access. Completing different Triumphs will net varied rewards so it might be worth engaging with before Solstice of Heroes arrives. Update 2.5.1.1 also patched the Menagerie chest exploit, which means you can no longer farm it continuously for rewards.

Granted, the current reward of one drop feels piddly but perhaps Bungie will adjust this in the future. One new change is the addition of more clan XP resources. You can now earn clan XP from Black Armory Forges, Escalation Protocol, and Strikes launched from the Director.

XP rewards have been adjusted for other activities so it might be worth checking out the full patch notes here. Destiny 2 will receive another update later this month to nerf Lord of Wolves so stay tuned for more details on that. Additionally, we’ll see the launch of the next expansion Shadowkeep in September so there’s plenty more content on the way.
