Destiny 2 Update 2.48 Patch Notes | Destiny 2 April 19 Patch Notes:

ACTIVITIES 

  • The Wellspring: Attack:
      • Fixed an issue that could cause teams to incorrectly wipe on PED difficulty during the ritual disruption phase of Attack if they completed the objective with only a few seconds left on the clock.
      • Added failsafe to all carry objects in the ritual and boss phases so that they respawn in a reachable location if they are never picked up for 30 seconds. This should unblock the activity if they somehow spawn or fall out of bounds.
  • Altar of Reflection
      • Fixed an issue where the Altar of Reflection was not appearing, blocking players from completing Evidence Board Quest: Report: ALTAR-REFLECT
  • Lost Sectors
      • Fixed an issue where Rare (blue) engrams were dropping from PED Lost Sector chests
  • Vow of the Disciple
      • Fixed an issue where players could bring relics out of the Exhibition area.
      • Fixed multiple places where players could get out of environment.
      • Fixed an issue where the Resonant Shard timer would not decrement.
      • Fixed an issue where the Symmetrical Energy triumph would trigger inconsistently.
      • Fixed an issue where Rhulk would sometimes not transition back to his initial phase properly.
      • Fixed an issue where players could have one of Rhulk’s weakspots open prematurely by depositing Emanating Force late in the encounter loop.
      • Fixed an issue where The Caretaker could be permanently stunned before being able to deal damage.
      • Fixed an issue where players could spread Leeching Force and charge it at the same time.
      • Fixed an issue where The Caretaker’s dynamic health threshold UI would not consistently display for all players.
  • Throne World (Freeroam):
      • Fixed an issue where runes could appear before activating deepsight, and couldn’t be revealed again if player didn’t complete puzzle from the first try.
      • Fixed an issue where a material node in Miasma bubble was not appearing.
      • Fixed an issue where players could duplicate the Resonant Charge carry object.
      • Fixed issue with available lucent executioner not rotating out of Flourescent Canal.
      • Fixed issue with qualichor pursuit auto-completing reward step.

          • This should now consistently show the enemy players’ class icon

      • Fixed an issue where revives did not award points for scoring.

  • Trials of Osiris:
      • Fixed an issue where Adept Trials weapons were dropping for wins past 7 on a Passage of Confidence without first requiring a Flawless ticket.
          • Dev note: Funny enough, this is the biproduct of something we’ve been working on over the last season to improve Adept drop rates post-flawless, as well as help the Flawless pool feel more rewarding… which leads us to the next patch note!
      • Once players have gone flawless in a given week, they now have a chance of earning Adept Weapon drops on any Trials Ticket that has earned 7 or more wins while the Flawless Pool is active, regardless of loss counts.
          • This will reset weekly.
