Destiny Hotfix Coming Next Week, Here's What It Does

A new "hotfix" for Destiny is coming next week, developer Bungie has announced.

The hotfix aims to fix some issues that popped up with the bigger 2.5.0 update that came out in December. Hotfix 2.5.0.1, as it's called, will arrive on Tuesday, January 17, at 9:30 AM PT / 12:30 PM PT.

Here is a rundown of what the Destiny hotfix will fix, as written by Bungie:

• Some Patrol missions in the Plaguelands are not reliably causing enemies to drop their respective objective items
• Xur's "Curio" inventory varies on a weekly basis, due to a limitation of his inventory space
• Weapon Stability on the Nova Mortis and Abbadon Exotic Machine Guns is inconsistent

Bungie will share the complete patch notes when the hotfix comes out next week. More details on how the hotfix will be applied possible gameplay interruption can be found here.

Unfortunately for players, not all of the issues introduced with the 2.5.0 update are being fixed with next week's hotfix. Bungie listed off a series of known issues that it's aware of but won't be addressed until sometime further into the future; these include the following:

• Rounds may not end as expected when all players on a Fireteam have been defeated in Elimination Game Types
• Skeleton Keys may be removed erroneously from Character Inventory
• Acquiring the Ice Breaker from weekly Vanguard Elite Bounty does not unlock the corresponding Grimoire card
• Players who have completed the “Songs from the Void” Quest will see a waypoint above Ikora in the Tower, where players will need to speak instead with Commander Zavala to receive the following Quest

In other Destiny news, Bungie has announced that the next Iron Banner event begins next week and offers up some cool-looking gear rewards.
