Destiny 2 players are among the most dedicated cryptologists on the internet. When Bungie introduces a Destiny 2 hotfix, passionate Guardians will eagerly scour every playable pixel of the game to see what’s new in the popular FPS game.

It isn’t beyond Bungie to hide Easter eggs in Destiny 2 — in fact, the Bungie team hides a variety of hidden quests and puzzle elements in the space game, many of which require teamwork to complete, like the ones in the revamped King’s Fall raid.

However, with its most recent Destiny 2 hotfix, Bungie adamantly wants players to know that it did not, in fact, add any new game content.

Typically, Bungie releases patch notes that explain any changes it made to its signature MMO. However, in this case, the team wanted to ensure players wouldn’t chase secret Easter eggs that don’t exist. So, the company used its patch notes as an opportunity to ensure precisely that.

The entirety of the Destiny 2 Hotfix 6.2.0.8 notes on the official Bungie blog read as follows:

As a game company with a history of transparency within its community, Bungie may hide secrets in a patch update but would not violate players’ trust by claiming there’s no new content if the hotfix did actually contain secret materials.

Had the team simply tested its new tech without an explanation, players would have likely complained due to not knowing what the update
