Enjoying Destiny 2: Episode Heresy immensely thus far! We’re now in week two of Act 1, and there’s an upcoming update on the horizon.

Early Destiny 2 update 8.2.0.1 patch notes

The detailed breakdown of Destiny 2 update 8.2.0.1 will be disclosed around 9AM Pacific Time/12PM Eastern Time/5PM Greenwich Mean Time on February 13th. Below, you can find some elements that BungieHelp has already confirmed will undergo modifications:

In this revised version, I’ve attempted to make the text more conversational and easier to understand while maintaining the original meaning.

  • Healing perks/abilities in the Nether
  • Explore mode difficulty
  • Overload Machine Gun perk
  • Radiant Dance Machines
  • Monolithic Memento fix (targeting Feb 13th – 14th for qualified players)
  • Revenant Major Fieldworks
  • Revenant Onslaught: Salvation playlists
  • Microcosm
  • Lunar New Year items in Collections

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed that Bungie hasn’t provided specific solutions for the issues I’ve encountered, apart from adjusting the power of Radiant Dance Machines. Here’s the latest update they’ve shared on Destiny 2 Team:

  • Dead Man’s Tale and The Last Word have been temporarily excluded from the hip fire range and accuracy bonus. We will revisit these weapons in a future patch to custom tune their bonuses so they can interact without being overly strong.
  • The dodge refund amount has been reduced to 33% if you do not have a full dodge charge. It will still give an extra charge if it’s full when you get the kill. Extra charges are not retained on death or after use.

Fixes for future D2 updates

Below are fixes Bungie has confirmed they are looking into for future updates:

  • Particle Reconstruction
  • Rhulk’s Pyramid ship

Using the term “Particle Reconstruction”, Bungie has found that this process involves accumulating with specific weak energy sources and taking precedence over other sources. At present, they are preparing for a future update.

About Rhulk’s Pyramid ship, Bungie has found that Support Autos aren’t providing enough assistance in Sundered Doctrine. The team is “recognized of an issue where No Hesitation and Adamantite aren’t triggering their secondary effects (Restoration or Unraveling) during the Altered Convolution encounter.” They are currently working on a solution for a future update to address this problem.

In regards to Episode Heresy, recent leaks have revealed some new cutscenes as well as what appears to be a “boss rush” mode for Act 2. Furthermore, gameplay leaks have shed light on additional new weapons that are soon to be introduced, including the reappearance of a beloved Exotic weapon from D1.
