Bungie has released Destiny 2 update 8.0.0.4, addressing several critical game crashes and issues that arose following the launch of The Final Shape expansion. This latest update, which coincided with the Destiny 2 Weekly Reset, comes as a welcome relief to players who have been experiencing disruptions since the expansion's release.
The Final Shape expansion marks a major milestone in the Destiny 2 universe, concluding the long-running saga of Light and Darkness and introducing the new Prismatic subclass, which offers unprecedented customization options. Although the expansion has generally been well-received, initial bugs marred the player experience, prompting Bungie to quickly implement fixes.
Key Fixes Address Mission Bugs And Crashes, Additional Tweaks Sought
One of the primary issues resolved by update 8.0.0.4 was a crash that occurred when players' Consumables inventory was full and they attempted to collect items such as Motes of Light or Luminescent Seeds. This bug caused significant frustration, interrupting gameplay and hindering progression.
Additionally, the update addresses problems in two key missions from The Final Shape campaign. In the Exegesis mission, players had been unable to unlock the Prismatic subclass under certain conditions. This problem has now been fixed, allowing players to access and enjoy the full capabilities of the new subclass. In the Transmigration mission, a bug during the Empower Font step that could cause the game to soft lock has been resolved, ensuring smoother progression through the campaign.
Another significant fix relates to the Khvostov 7G-0X exotic auto rifle. Initially, players were unable to earn this weapon by collecting Motes of Light and defeating the Taken Servitor boss in The Blooming area of the Pale Heart. Bungie has addressed this issue, enabling players to acquire the Khvostov 7G-0X as intended.
Despite these improvements, some players have expressed a desire for further tweaks. One specific request involves Rally Banners, which currently refill ammo, recharge abilities, and grant super energy but do not impact the Transcendence meter. With Transcendence being a new feature introduced in The Final Shape, players are hoping Bungie will update Rally Banners to include this functionality.
This update is part of Bungie's ongoing efforts to enhance Destiny 2 and ensure a stable, enjoyable experience for players. Each expansion and update reflects Bungie's dedication to addressing player feedback and improving the game.
