UPDATE: Those being diverted here via Google, head on over here for the official Destiny 2 update 2.9.2 patch notes!

Destiny 2 next update release date patch & 2.9.2 preview:

Due on: September 8, 2020 on all platforms

Solstice of Heroes: Ornament Glows

Shortly after Solstice went live, we became aware of a difference between how the universal armor glow bundle icon was depicted and how it visually performed in the game. After investigating the issue, we felt the difference between them was too vast. We have revisited the glow intensity of these ornaments and enhanced the in-game appearance to match the icon as closely as possible.

Sleeper Nodes

With additional Destiny Content Vault details available, we’re seeing many players returning to content released in the earlier years of Destiny 2. Some players are hunting Triumphs, while others are focusing on rewards. One of these rewards is the unique emblem players unlock after collecting all the available Sleeper Nodes introduced in Destiny 2: Warmind.

Due to the way that the Sleeper Nodes were created, we are unable to completely remove the possibility of receiving duplicate Override Frequencies, but we are making some improvements to greatly reduce the odds of receiving a duplicate. The following tips will help you avoid duplicates and acquire those final elusive nodes.

  • When combining Resonate Stems, it is very unlikely that the resulting Override Frequency will unlock a node in your current area. For example, if you need to unlock a node in Heatsink, you should leave Heatsink before creating an Override Frequency.
  • Destiny 2 has an internal checklist of nodes you have unlocked. This checklist is separate from the count you see in game, and prior to this fix, the checklist would frequently be cleared. Clearing this checklist is the reason duplicates were so common. Going forward, the checklist will never be cleared.
    • Note: If you create an Override Frequency for a node that you have opened in the past, you should open the node again instead of deleting the Override Frequency. This will allow the internal checklist to be updated, and help prevent future duplicates.

In different terms, the team has created a form of “bad luck protection” for Sleeper Nodes, but the tracking is starting fresh. Get hunting, and you’ll be unlocking a unique emblem before you know it.

Assorted Fixes and Changes

  • Fixing an issue where player spawn effects would freeze in Gambit.
  • Fixing an issue where the ADS on the Cold Denial Season Pass ornament was different than the base weapon model.
  • Redrix’s Broadsword will now be available to reclaim from Collections.
    • Note: This will be locked to the first roll rewarded when completing the Broadsword quest.
  • Spider will begin offering three weekly “Wanted” adventure bounties, up from one.
  • Fixing an issue that prevented the Exotic perk on the Merciless Fusion Rifle from triggering.

Again, this is not the full list of patch notes. Based on the changes, this seems to be an actual client-side patch. Once we know more details, we’ll let our readers know.
