Destiny, the popular online multiplayer first-person shooter developed by Bungie, is set to receive Hotfix 7.0.0.6 on Thursday, March 23, 2023. Bungie will take both Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 servers offline for maintenance to deploy the update. Here’s everything you need to know about the scheduled downtime and what to expect from the upcoming Hotfix.
The maintenance will commence at 7:00 AM PDT (-7 UTC) and is expected to conclude at 1:00 PM PDT (-7 UTC). During this time, players will experience temporary unavailability of certain features, followed by the release of Hotfix 7.0.0.6.
The downtime is expected to last until 12:00 PM PDT when Hotfix 7.0.0.6 will become available across all platforms and regions. Players can then log back into the game but may face queues or sign-on issues due to ongoing background maintenance. Bungie expects the maintenance to conclude at 1:00 PM PDT.

GAMEPLAY AND INVESTMENT
WEAPONS
- Fixed an issue where the Winterbite Exotic Glaive was benefitting from other Glaives damage increasing perks.
- Fixed an issue where the Glaive melee feed kills where showing the projectile label.
- Fixed an issue where the extra Arc volley granted by the Two Tailed Fox’s Exotic Catalyst was not firing properly.
- Fixed an issue where some weapon mods were not available for some players.
ARMOR MODS
- Fixed an issue where equipping too many passive Armor Charge benefits would deactivate artifact perks.
- Changed Empowered Finish to count as a finisher mod for purposes of mutual exclusivity. This mod can no longer be equipped alongside a finisher mod that also consumes Armor Charge stacks.
- Having the ability to generate and spend Armor Charge stacks on the same mod was creating conditions where latency would sometimes cause the perks to activate in an incorrect order.
- Additionally, when combined with Stacks on Stacks, Empowering Finish was circumventing the basic Armor Charge mechanics too easily, resulting in generating too many Orbs of Power, ammo bricks, overshields, etc.
- The Untangler Artifact perk will no longer trigger melee perks.
LOCALIZATION
- Fixed the issue introduced in 7.0.0.5 that reverted Mandarin voice over to English.
GENERAL
- Increased the time to give Commendations to other players after finishing certain activities.
- Moved the Legend Lost Sectors Solo and the Legend Lost Sector Solo Flawless requirements from Guardian Rank 7 to Rank 8.
- Moved the Master Lost Sectors Solo and the Master Lost Sector Solo Flawless requirements from Guardian Rank 9 to Rank 10.
- Note: Players will keep keep their earned progress after these Lost Sector requirements move to the higher Rank.
