Destiny 2 Faction Rally winner announced

A single entity has emerged the Destiny 2 Faction Rally winner, and around two-thirds of Guardians won’t be happy.

After Destiny 2‘s downtime earlier this morning, the game reemerged with a Faction Rally winner: Dead Orbit. Congrats to my fellow Space Emos!

That means Dead Orbit’s special Scout Rifle can be purchased for 1,000 Glimmer by those who pledged support. Those who’ve pledged to New Monarchy and Future War Cult can still buy their Faction’s Dead Orbit’s special weapons, though at a cost of 50,000 Glimmer. Hope you’ve been saving up.

On a less contentious note, today’s downtime enabled Bungie to implement a host of fixes. Patch notes are below:

Items

  • Fixed an issue in which players could lose access to the Veteran’s Transmat Effect by deleting characters
  • Fixed an issue in which clan engrams would grant Trials of the Nine and raid rewards at only 10 Power
  • Fixed an issue in which the action button on Faction Rallies emblems displayed Discard instead of Store

 
Quests

  • Fixed an issue in which progress for the Exotic Quest Step “His Highness’s Seal” was not incrementing properly

Raid

  • Fixed an issue in which raid milestones would not show for some players after the weekly reset (This didn’t affect any raid rewards)
  • Fixed an issue in which players could enter a state where they are continuously killed if they finish a raid encounter at the exact moment of failure

Crucible

  • Added invisible physics and kill volumes to keep players inside the intended playable area on the following maps:
    • Eternity
    • Altar of Flame
    • Emperor’s Respite
    • Legion’s Gulch
    • Javelin-4
    • The Dead Cliffs
  • Added invisible physics to all stairs in The Dead Cliffs to allow grenades to bounce properly
  • Adjusted spawning system values to reduce the frequency of players respawning into dangerous situations on all maps

Destiny 2 is available now on Xbox One and PS4. It heads to Windows PC later in the month. Are you a happy Faction member today?
