Destiny update 1.1.2 is now live, bringing the promised changes to all platforms today.
Grand Theft Auto 5 PC Release Date Has Finally Arrived
Bungie already told us what features it would be bringing to the game, but the release itself comes with the full and specific patch notes for the new version of Destiny--you can read these below.
Some highlight additions include several new features or improvements on existing ones. Bungie has added item locking so that players can no longer accidentally delete gear. There have also been improvements made to the Raids, a reduction of a particularly annoying Strike boss' health, and punishment for repetitively idle players. Vault size has also been increased--finally.
Destiny's House Of Wolves Will Have No Raid, But A New Arena Mode & Upgradeable Legendaries
