The developers of Destiny 2 have a new update to the game, making some changes to the weapon swap and bringing multiple fixes. This new Destiny 2 update includes a number of fixes for some activities, and it also adds some balance changes to improve the overall experience.
Destiny 2 was released in 2017, and since then, Bungie has managed to gather and maintain a healthy player base who still love the game and the downloadable content it’s released since launch. Destiny 2 offers players a plethora of campaigns, PvE and PvP encounters, in-game events, and rare items, following in the steps of its predecessor while improving and adding depth to the game. Recently, Destiny 2 players have put forward a request to the developers, asking players to get some long-awaited things from the game. Many players were unhappy with the current state of Gambit, Playlist Strikes, and Ritual Armor, and gamers shared their thoughts on the matter in the game’s subreddit.
On June 1, the developers of Destiny 2 released the 7.1.0.1 update along with its patch notes, detailing all the fixes and changes implemented in the update. One of the most impressive changes in the update’s patch notes has to do with weapon swaps. This is an issue Bungie addressed in previous Destiny 2 updates. After this update, Destiny 2 players will have to wait a second before they can fire when switching weapons, which is reduced from the two-second window they had to deal with before this update.
In some cases, Destiny 2 players have encountered annoying bugs during gameplay, luckily, the developers of Destiny 2 have implemented several new bug fixes to the game. Specifically, some of these involved events such as The Crucible, Salvage, and even Guardian Ranks.
On the Destiny 2 subreddit, many fans are still reacting to the changes. For most gamers, the patch notes seem to be lacking in changes and additions to the game. Major updates to Destiny 2 usually bring back a large portion of the game’s player base. However, it will be interesting to see if the minor changes and additions applied in this latest patch are enough to convince some gamers and bring them back to the game.
