Over the last few weeks, Guardians have discovered an interesting little bug that came about with Heresy's launch. On the backend, we shifted to a new way of creating weapons and rewards to help streamline some of the development process. While moving into this new paradigm, class lockouts for the Exotic Glaives and a handful of Swords were mistakenly removed.

We've been seeing some great celebrations with the removal of these constraints. Our first reactions were focused more towards fixing the issue as we want to retain strong class-based fantasies within Destiny, and the removal of class locks muddies the water a bit. As an example, it's a bit weird to see a Warlock or a Hunter spawning a mini-bubble or seeing a Titan running like a ninja. After some discussions between team members, we've arrived at a new decision: we're going to let this ride. A fun example of a bug becoming a feature.

Here's a quick list of notes taken from the conversation:...

Hey there. We issued a hotfix for this yesterday. Please let us know if you're still encountering checkpoint issues.

Could you send over some video links to show what you're describing?

Would be of great help to the team if you posted a thread over on our help forums as well - gets the report in front of our team faster for investigation.

Many thanks.

As noted last weekend, we are planning an additional opportunity for Guardians to attempt Contest Mode for the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon.

Our current target is Saturday, February 22. Starting at reset (9:00 AM Pacific), Contest Mode will be re-enabled for 24 hours.

Players may earn the Contest Mode Triumph, emblem, and guaranteed drop of Finality's Auger during this period.

We have identified the underlying issue impacting Finality's Auger drop rates. We are looking to address this as soon as tomorrow but need to validate the fix and ensure a clean deployment.

Alongside this fix, we are also planning to increase drop chances for this exotic when completing Sundered Doctrine activities.

Stay tuned for updates.

After an investigation, we have discovered that Finality's Auger, the exotic found in the Sundered Doctrine dungeon, isn't currently dropping as expected.

We are actively investigating the root cause and discussing options to address this issue as soon as possible.

Many thanks to all who have reported the issue and aided in our initial investigations.

Unlinking has been a significant vector for abuse for years. We have tried to combat it, and its existence has restricted what we can do. We don't really want to have to turn it off and went through multiple iterations to try and find a different path, but unlinking is only really okay security wise when attached to "social" accounts like Twitch.

Due to issues affecting PlayStation players' ability to sign in to Destiny 2, we are planning an additional Sundered Doctrine Contest Mode weekend for all platforms.

Specific dates and times will be announced at a later date.

Note: The Sundered Doctrine Race has concluded. This will simply be an additional opportunity for those who had fireteams impacted by the outage to attempt to clear the Dungeon at Contest Difficulty.

Stay tuned for updates.

The following items have been disabled for the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon Race:

Microcosm
Edge of Concurrence
Edge of Action
Edge of Intent
Lord of Wolves
Volatile Marksman Artifact Mod Boost
Auto-Loading Holster Perk
"Spirit of the Necrotic" and "Spirit of the Filaments" for the Solipsism Warlock Exotic Class Item.

Please visit bung.ie/disables for a complete list of disabled items.

Thanks for the report. We're aware of an issue where standard Special and Heavy ammo bricks in PvE are giving 5-10% less ammo than intended. This does not affect Finder ammo bricks and ammo from other sources, which are unchanged. We're currently working on a fix, planned for an upcoming update.

Hey, Guardians. The Fleeting Metastasized Essentia earned by extracting materials in The Nether will be lost if you don't clear the active combat area you are in.

Complete all objectives, defeat the boss, and open the chest that spawns right after to transform Fleeting Metastasized Essentia into the Metastasized Essentia that will stay in your inventory.

There is no need to complete a whole run of The Nether, although that's advised if you want to get the most rewards!

We have a preliminary list of items that we are planning to disable within the Contest difficulty of the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon starting on Friday, February 7.

Please visit the following article for details: bung.ie/disables

We will be updating the list as more items are identified, and plan to have a complete list locked by 7AM Pacific on Friday morning.

If you're planning to engage in the Dungeon race, we recommend stocking up on infusion materials, prepping multiple builds, and being ready to pivot on a dime.

Stay tuned for updates.

We just checked and this was missed when setting up the content and we will issue a fix to make the Storm's Keep aspect work with Arbor Warden in a future update.

Not intended, but we won't be rushing a fix for this. Have fun while it lasts!

Team's digging in to see what's up. Until resolved, abilities and Thunderlord will be your best friends.

With the release of the Nether activity within the Dreadnaught, we're looking to treat health as a resource that players need to monitor throughout gameplay. At this time, healing-centric builds and options (Weapon perks, Exotics, and Abilities) are not working as we'd intended.

Additionally, we are aware that many healing-centric builds are difficult to see or feel with Guardian health being increased by 200%. Overall, the health bar contains 3x your normal health values, so healing feels fairly low and slow!

We're looking to take a balance pass quickly and are targeting a patch as early as next week to address these issues. Stay tuned for updates.

Hey all, thanks for the report/discussion.

From our SBX minded team members:

1) On the Prowl has a 1 second internal cooldown. This can be adjusted in the future if necessary.

2) This aspect is currently granting the small chunk of ability energy over the 7 second duration of each stack instead of all at once. This is unintentional and will be fixed in a future update. That said, the energy is fully awarded by the time the buff runs out.

We’ve seen a resurgence of time fluctuations and traces of Deepsight weaponry coming from the Vault of Glass...

While Raids normally function on a 2-per-week featured rotation, Vault of Glass will be added as a bonus third option for the launch week of Destiny 2: Heresy, starting Feb 4.

Happy hunting!

When Destiny 2: Heresy launches on February 4, players will be tasked with infiltrating the Dreadnaught once more. Along the way, you'll be earning some sweet loot, helped by the Tome of Want.

• On day one, you'll unlock the "Tome of Want", giving you options to focus on earning specific weapons, armor, or currencies in addition to general loot drops you'll earn during gameplay.
• As you complete Heresy activities, you'll earn Essence of Desire to power up your Tome's rituals, and Scriptures, which will specify the ...
