Bungie has deployed Destiny 2 update 9.1.0.2 on all platforms, and consoles will receive the same build. The update targets raid and dungeon rewards, weapon balances, Exotic and armor fixes, and several stability issues that were blocking activities.
The update went live following scheduled downtime on September 23 and is intended to resolve a range of activity and reward issues that players have reported. Highlights include adjustments to The Desert Perpetual raid reward scaling, removal of a weekly lockout on legacy raid and dungeon Exotic rewards, several Portal and Reclaim fixes, including added matchmaking, and weapon and Exotic tweaks that affect reserves, AoE damage, and Overcharge behavior. Trials of Osiris lobby balancing and several strike completion issues are also addressed.
