While servers are offline for maintenance, Bungie has released patch notes for Destiny 2’s update 7.0.0.1. It’s available to pre-load on all platforms and comes with several changes. You can read about the removal of Adept difficulty, along with Surge and Overcharged weapons, here and about the removal of Resonant Elements from crafting here.
In terms of balance changes, the biggest nerf is to Heart of Inmost Light. A very strong Exotic that helped enable Arc 3.0 Titans, its duration for empowered ability buffs in PvE has gone from ten to five seconds. Furthermore, the bonus class ability regeneration during the empowered state is now 25 percent per stack in PvE and PvP, previously 150 percent and 38 percent.
Other changes include updates to Verity’s Brow, Mantle of Battle Harmony and Chromatic Fire to support Strand. Interestingly, Claws of Ahamkara won’t grant an extra melee charge when using a Strand sub-class.
Check out some of the patch notes below. Destiny 2: Lightfall is out later today for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. You can learn more about it from Bungie’s ViDoc.
