Destiny 2 Patch Notes: The Dawning Update Is Live Now

With the latest weekly reset in Destiny 2, Bungie has released the new 2.7.0.1 hotfix update that coincides with the launch of this year's holiday-themed event, The Dawning. That means you can get a bunch of wintry items and cosmetics--including a new gun that requires very little effort--while also diving into core new Season of Dawn content, namely the EDZ and Nessus Sundial obelisks and their corresponding rewards and activities. Here's what's new and a look at the patch notes--but be aware of a glitch involving the new EDZ obelisk, which prevents players from interacting with it.

Of the most immediate concern is The Dawning, the time-limited event that runs from now until January 14. Much like last year, Eva Levante has returned to the Tower with a set of bounties and a revamped version of her oven: Eva's Holiday Oven 2.0. This is used to craft treats for various bounties and quests. When Eva gives it to you, she'll give you the necessary materials to craft an item for Zavala--quickly take it over to him and return to Eva to receive a package that will net you The Dawning's new weapon for this year, Cold Front, a submachine gun. There's plenty more to do once you've finished that, so check out our guide to The Dawning recipes to learn how to bake all of the cookies.

Eververse also has a ton of new cosmetics, including a finisher, shader, ghost shells, sparrow, emotes, and more. You can buy them all now for Silver, but Bungie shared on Twitter that everything--except for one item, the Perfect Ten finisher--will be sold for Bright Dust through Eververse during the event, which is certainly welcome news.

Outside of The Dawning, Season of Dawn's other content continues to roll out. That includes the EDZ and Nessus obelisks, which can now be connected to the Sundial, allowing you to take on new bosses and earn a pair of new weapons from each. Additionally, there's another Saint-14 mission involving Vex Transponders.

Finally, in terms of the update, there are an assortment of fixes, including those related to Escalation Protocol chests and Resonate Stems not working properly. But I think we can all agree the best part of the patch notes concerns a fix for an issue where, and I quote, "finishers could yeet bosses off the map and cause other shenanigans." So that's sorted.

You can see the full patch notes below.
