Introduction
The latest patch for Destiny 2, hotfix 3.4.0.2, brings a slew of fixes and improvements to the game. In the Crucible, players can now capture zones on certain maps in Iron Banner and Momentum Control playlists and be rewarded with Super energy. Iron Banner Freelance node also displays the longer respawn time setting correctly. Dares of Eternity has seen some adjustments as well. The recommended Power level has been lowered to 1100, and players will no longer be auto-launched into the activity without acquiring a Heavy weapon. Additionally, crashes during long Dares sessions have been prevented by cleaning up additional physics objects between rounds. The Presage Exotic mission has received a fix that allows players to interact with datapads within the mission. The weekly lockout for earning lore book pages for Presage completions has also been removed, allowing players to earn one lore book page per activity completion without any weekly restrictions. Other fixes include preventing players from exploiting encounters in the Dungeon: Grasp of Avarice, ensuring that all Champions in the Chamber of Starlight lost sector count towards rewards, and regenerating Super energy fully for Supers in longer cooldown tiers during public events. The patch also addresses various UI/UX issues, such as improving colorblind modes and fixing emblem display problems. Gameplay and investment changes include fixing issues with armor and weapons, as well as addressing ability and bounty-related problems. Overall, hotfix 3.4.0.2 brings a range of much-needed fixes and improvements to Destiny 2, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience for players.DESTINY 2 HOTFIX 3.4.0.2
