Bungie has outlined several crucial fixes for Destiny 2 in the week following the launch of its latest expansion, The Edge of Fate, which was released on July 15. The company is addressing various player-reported issues, including bugs that hinder progression in the campaign. Some of these fixes are expected as early as July 18. The Edge of Fate introduces players to Kepler, a new destination in the solar system, marking the beginning of a multi-year Fate saga.
This expansion presents a new narrative involving the mysterious Nine, a character named Lodi, and Orin the Lost, who fans previously recognized as the Emissary of the Nine. Alongside these narrative elements, players also gain access to new activities, legendary loot, and Exotics, typical of Destiny 2 expansions. However, many have reported bugs that impede their campaign advancement. As of July 17, Bungie’s official Twitter account acknowledged ongoing issues and the team’s commitment to investigating player reports.
Several fixes are planned over the next week and a half, with a hotfix set to be released by July 19. This hotfix will address blocking issues for players’ secondary characters, bugs that wipe Unstable Cores upon creating alternate characters, and crashes specifically affecting Xbox users. Upcoming fixes include those scheduled for hotfix 9.0.0.3 on July 22. These will resolve ammo gain issues on certain grenade launchers and improve performance in the Kepler area, among other adjustments.
A second hotfix, 9.0.0.4, is anticipated on July 29, aiming to tackle motion sickness and visual glitches, as well as the malfunctioning Tangled Web perk. Bungie is also aware of high-priority issues still under investigation, such as audio problems on PlayStation 5 and crashes on PlayStation 4 when entering the Tower. These updates demonstrate Bungie’s responsiveness to player feedback and their commitment to enhancing the Destiny 2 experience.
