Destiny was recently updated to version 1.2.0, but with one caveat–the patch notes are unavailable. Despite being deployed to everyone’s installation today, not everyone is in the know about what the patch contains, and what it changes.
Fortunately, a redditor named Quinonvocabitur (via VG247) managed to datamine the patch upon its release and discovered a few patch notes that, while not necessarily accurate, convey exactly what the patch has in store for players of the game.
It should be kept in mind that none of this data is public, and Bungie is expected to release the proper patch notes at some point in the near future. Here’s what it says:
- The spawn locking issue currently affecting Iron Banner will be fixed
- Legendary items will be added to post-game reward tables for all Crucible activities
- Your first match in the daily featured Crucible activity will earn you a new reward package each day
- Reputation and Mark gains will double for each completed Crucible match
