It’s another week, and that means Bungie is once again taking the Marathon servers down temporarily to apply a game update.

For April 21, Bungie is set to roll out update 1.0.6.1, which should fix issues that arose from the game’s mid-season patch released last week.

For the complete schedule of downtime, read on.
