New Destiny Update 1.2.0.2 Live Now

Bungie has today released its latest update for Destiny on Xbox 360/One PS3/4 which increases the drop rate of treasure keys and prevents users from abusing the Ether Chests which allowed multiple uses when exiting the area and returning before the timer ran out. You can view the full changelog below.

1.2.0.2 – The one that addresses some House of Wolves issues

Ever since House of Wolves was released, we’ve been following player feedback on multiple fronts. These changes to the player experience are being deployed to correct a few issues that you’ve noticed – as well as a few we noticed.

Key Highlights

The first Wanted Fallen Bounty completed each week is now guaranteed to drop a Treasure Key
Greatly increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from the small chests at the end of the Prison of Elders
Increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from Ether Chests

Fixed a bug in which the ‘Elder Cipher’ Bounty could not be acquired if your Bounty inventory was full
You will need to defeat Skolas again to receive the ‘Elder Cipher’ Bounty
Damage caused by Qodron’s Gaze is reduced by 25%

Trials of Osiris

Bounties

Weapons

Fixed a bug in which the 1.2.0.1 hotfix mistakenly did not contain the 1.1.1 Fusion Rifle balance changes. As a result, players were playing with its pre-1.1.1 weapon balance state. The original fix has been re-applied.
