GINX

Are you searching for the latest Destiny 2 Patch Notes? If the answer is yes we imagine it's because Bungie has just dropped a brand new Destiny 2 update or hotfix to the game. If you're new to Destiny, or even most live service games, you must keep an eye on the game's patch notes for any sneaky changes that the developer might be making from one update to the next.

Whilst these updates will invariably include quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes for in-game glitches, they might also contain a few balancing changes that can have a significant impact on overall gameplay. There's no telling when Bungie might decide to buff or nerf some of your favourite weapons, or class abilities, and when they do, it's best that you know about it so you can adjust your builds accordingly.

Regardless of whether it's a small change or a more sizeable update that drops with a new season or expansion, we're keeping this page as our regular updated home for the latest Destiny 2 Updates, Patch Notes, and hotfixes. Read on for the latest information.

      • Shield Bash
      • Seismic Strike
      • Hammer Strike
      • Shiver Strike

      • Seismic Strike
      • Shield Bash
      • Hammer Strike
      • Howl of the Storm

    • Neutral game abilities now receive variable amounts of ability energy from perks that grant instant percentage chunk energy, based on the ability's passive cooldown tier.
      • The shortest cooldown abilities will receive the same percentage of energy as they did previously, but as passive cooldown increases, the energy granted from perks scales per tier, down to a floor of 50% for grenades and class abilities and 60% for melee abilities. This means that the number of seconds of raw cooldown reduction granted from chunk energy perks is more closely equivalent across all ability cooldown tiers.
      • For example, with Firebolt Grenade (which have a 64-second base cooldown time) vs. Lightning Grenade (which have a 152-second base cooldown time):
        • With the previous system, a 10% base energy chunk reduced the cooldown of Firebolt Grenade by 6.4 seconds and reduced the cooldown of Lightning Grenade by 15.2 seconds.
        • With the new system, a 10% base energy chunk reduces the cooldown of Firebolt Grenade by 6.4 seconds and reduces the cooldown of Lightning Grenade by 7.6 seconds.
      • Note: Perks that were designed to grant full energy refunds (e.g., Knock 'Em Down) or perks that target a single, specific ability (e.g., Shinobu's Vow) are not affected and grant the same energy that they did in the previous system.
