Today, Bungie is set to roll out Destiny 2’s Update 7.2.5, leading to scheduled maintenance and downtime for the game. While the full details of the update are not yet disclosed, a schedule has been provided to outline when players can expect the game to be unavailable.

The maintenance kicks off, affecting sign-on and game integration features on the web, mobile, 3rd-party apps, and the Bungie Store. The game will be completely offline. Players will be booted from ongoing activities and can’t log back in until 10 AM PDT.

  • Fixed an issue that caused the new ritual armor to drop with low stats.

WEAPONS AND ACCESSORIES

WEAPON TUNING

      • Increased recoil globally by 10%.
      • Reduced the mouse and keyboard Stability bonus from 20% to 10%.

      • Reduced the ADS Damage Falloff Scalar from 1.7x to 1.6x.
      • Increased base damage from 14.25 to 15.

  • Sniper Rifles
    • General
      • Decreased the airborne accuracy penalty by 20% (Sniper Rifles are now as accurate at base as they were before airborne effectiveness (AE) with Icarus Grip).

CHECKMATE WEAPON TUNING

  • Pulse Rifles
    • Decreased bonus damage very slightly to decrease some resiliency forgiveness (critical to body shot ratio) thresholds by 1 tier.
      • This does not shift optimal time-to-kill against base resilience for any Pulse Rifles.
  • Hand Cannons
    • Increased bonus damage slightly to remove the resiliency threshold that shifts optimal time-to-kill for Adaptive (140 RPM) Hand Cannons.
      • Adaptive HCs will again kill all resilience levels with 3 critical hits.

        • How quickly that happens will still depend on the resilience of the opponent.

  • Fixed a spelling error on the Seasonal Challenges objective for Guardian Rank 6.
  • The Luminous Paragon Sparrow from Guardian Games is now available in Collections.

UI AND UX

  • Favorited Ornaments no longer act chaotically.

GENERAL
