On Tuesday, Bungie decided to push an update for Destiny 2 that seized the player activity, as servers went down for maintenance. Just a while ago, Bungie announced the changes that will be available with update 6.2.5. This update contains plenty of fixes.
The Crucible, Iron Banner: Eruption, and even the Expedition: Plunder is being tweaked. Furthermore, this update changes how Raids and Dungeons work. Without further ado, the complete patch notes can be found below.
