Starting next Tuesday, we’ll be adding a new avenue for players to discover and acquire Exotic ornaments. While players may still hop in to the Eververse to purchase Exotic ornaments, they will also be visible and purchasable when inspecting a given Exotic weapon or armor piece.

As an example, Le Monarque will be receiving a sweet new ornament in the 30th Anniversary release (thanks to a recent community poll for future ornaments – thanks to all who voted!) When booting up Destiny 2, you can inspect your beautiful bow, tab down to the ornaments section, and purchase the ornament straight from the weapon itself. For armor pieces, this can be done either by inspecting the armor itself, or through the Guardian Appearance screen.

Featured ornaments may be purchased with Silver. If the ornament is available for Bright Dust on a given week, it will also be available for Bright Dust on the inspection screen.

We hope this makes it a little easier to find these items as we continue to build new looks for existing Exotic weapons and armor pieces.

• Fixed an issue where dynamic objects, like barrels or bricks with physics and Hive exploding objects, were missing from this map

• To reduce the overall length of the strike and make it less painful after hard wipes in the elevator encounter, we have removed the Taken combatants in the dark Ascendant Plane hallway leading up to the elevator.
• If a fireteam hard wipes during the final phase of the boss fight in the Ascendant Realm, when they respawn the portal to the Ascendant Realm will take them straight to Phase 2, instead of making them replay the platforming section between Phase 1 and Phase 2.
• When a fireteam arrives at the platforming area before the boss fight in The Adytum, any fireteam members or Ghosts left behind in earlier parts of the strike will now be teleported forward to join their fireteam.
• When players begin the elevator encounter, any straggler players or their Ghosts will be pulled forward to join their fireteam.
• Fixed an issue where Sedia’s shields would regenerate faster than expected on Nightfall difficulties. Her shields now regenerate based on health threshold in Nightfalls, just like they do in Direct Launch or the Vanguard Playlist.
• The portal to the Ascendant Realm after Phase 1 of the boss fight should now reliably place players facing the correct direction.
• Fixed an issue that was preventing the combatants from walking to part of the right-side area during the first half of the boss-fight. Psions should now spread out a little bit more on that right platform.
• Fixed an issue where a Taken Acolytes was spawning and immediately falling to its death during the floating platform area before the boss fight.
• Fixed an issue where, in certain conditions, the relic would de-spawn and never respawn during the boss phase.
• Fixed a cosmetic issue where the relic spawners during the boss would spin before the relic was spawned.

A few weeks back, we let players know that a few issues with Dunemarchers would be addressed in the upcoming patch. The goal is to remove instances of players being “double chained” by lightning created by these Exotic legs upon a successful Titan punch. Please note that it will still be possible to die to chain lightning when having low health. If you’ve taken damage from a different opponent or been hit by some AOE damage from a well-placed ballistic slam, you may still fall victim to the Dunes…

• Once a player is hit by a Dunemarchers lightning chain, they cannot be hit again by Dunemarchers for 2s.
• Dunemarchers lightning now only chains on targets that are alive.

• • • Display-only text chat will be available for all consoles with the release of the 30th Anniversary Pack on December 7.
    • With the launch of The Witch Queen, USB keyboard text chat will arrive for consoles.
