Destiny 2 – All Hotfixes April 2021 | Crucible Gets a Crucial Fix!

Introduction

In the latest patch notes for the popular game, several issues have been addressed to enhance the gaming experience. In the Crucible, a bug that caused the I Am Invincible medal to appear for all players, even if they didn't earn it, has been fixed. Additionally, restricted players can now access Crucible and Gambit private matches as intended. In Trials matches, an audio cue will now play when an enemy player is revived. Moving on to the Cosmodrome, players can no longer skip the first barrier on Exodus Garden 2A by going out of the environment. In the Dreaming City, the issue of region chest icons remaining on the map after finding the chest has been resolved. In the Battlegrounds, a dropship issue that was causing poor performance has been fixed, resulting in improved performance during the boss encounter. Furthermore, key item names have been made more consistent in Battleground: Behemoth, and the closing dialog no longer runs longer than the ending timer of the activity. Lastly, general fixes have been made to Battlegrounds, including locked player positioning during Tribute Chest slam animations to reduce the likelihood of accidentally killing teammates, and the elimination of a bug where volatile cells would clip into the player's arm. These updates aim to provide a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience for players.
