We’re not too far into Bungie’s latest Destiny 2 chapter, Season of the Lost, and they have released a chunky Hotfix to improve it. Here are the full details of the 3.3.0.2 Hotfix for Destiny 2.

Destiny 2 Season 15’s Season of the Lost is quite a monumental step forward for the game in many ways. The long-awaited The Witch Queen expansion is just around the corner, with Season of the Lost setting players up for it, and Destiny 2 finally has crossplay.

But the progress doesn’t stop there though, as Bungie is always doing its utmost to ensure that Destiny 2 is free of bugs and problems. This is why the new 3.3.0.2 Hotfix looks to improve things by addressing some lingering issues and make some quality of life changes.

The update is available now, and here is the full extent of the Destiny 2 Season of the Lost 3.3.0.2 update and patch notes.

  • Fixed issue where the Wyvern precision kill objective wasn’t progressing as intended. 

STRIKES

  • Burns, shields, and Champions listed on the tooltip for Luna Lost Sectors should once again reflect what players find in-game. 

PLATFORMS AND SYSTEMS

  • Fixed an issue where Windows 7 users were unable to launch the game due to some incompatible *.dll files. 

LOCALIZATION

  • Fixed an issue with Japanese translations of a few lore entries.
  • Fixed an issue where several languages did not have a description for the Seasonal artifact.

GENERAL 

  • Fixed an issue where the Xunyou offer was not rewarding the correct items.
  • Fixed an issue where the Warlock’s Nova Warp wouldn’t Blink if Hold Sprint was active. 
  • Fixed an issue where the barriers surrounding the Scorch Cannons in the Fallen Walker public event repelled anything that came near them. 
  • Increased the score target for Iron Banner Control from 125 to 150 (matching base Control). 
  • Adjusted the Iron Banner Mercy thresholds to reduce the number of games that end shortly before they reach the score target. 

There are clearly plenty of improvements headed to Destiny 2 Season of the Lost, so it should make for a cleaner experience going forward.
