Destiny 2’s previously teased 2.2.2 update is now live, bringing with it a healthy dose of fixes and tweaks. The new update doesn’t introduce any new features, but it still has some noticeable significance. It’s the last major update for Destiny 2’s currently ongoing Season of the Drifter. Therefore, in some regards it’s setting the stage for the upcoming Season of Opulence.
Destiny 2 Update 2.2.2 Patch Notes
The 2.2.2 update has fixed several of the more glaring issues that popped up recently in Destiny 2. The previously bugged Tower Invitation of the Nine bounty has been fixed, allowing players to complete it as normal. The Hunter super Spectral Blades has also been nerfed, a welcome change for frustrated PvP fans.
