Destiny December Update Coming Next Week, New Changes Revealed

Destiny's December update will arrive early next week, Bungie announced today as part of its latest Bungie Weekly Update. The update is officially called 2.1.0, and the full patch notes are also coming next week.

"Our current plan is to deploy the latest packages to you as soon as next week," Bungie said. "The thing about plans is that they can change, so the exact day is up to the smart people who get to push the big red button."

Ahead of that, however, Bungie has teased that the Destiny December update will bring changes for Sunbreakers, Strikers, and Defenders.

"About those Titans… Ever since their Solar brothers and sisters entered the explosive mix of Destiny with the arrival of The Taken King, they've been quite the hot topic of conversation," Bungie said. "Even before the first fiery salvo landed in someone's face, there has been plenty of feedback about our armored friends.

"While were making some adjustments to Sunbreakers in Update 2.1.0, we won't be leaving Strikers and Defenders out in the cold this winter."

Tomorrow, December 4, Bungie will post a detailed preview of the changes being made. This post will be written by senior design lead Sage Merrill. "Expect stats and insights for each subclass," Bungie said.

December's update will also do quite a bit of rebalancing for the various weapon types and introduce new Exotics.

Bungie also said today that the update will make changes to what's available in the Eververse microtransaction store. If you've had your eye on a certain item, now is a good time to buy it.

"The December Update will refresh the inventory available from Tess," Bungie said. "She;ll put the stuff you see now in some bags you can still acquire with some Silver, but their contents will be less direct and predictable."
