[GameSpot] - Destiny 2 Patch Notes Details Fixes For Leveling, Updates Weapon Drops

Players spent the last week in Destiny 2 powering up for the new Beyond Light raid, Deep Stone Crypt. But some found they had a hard time because of a bug affecting Prime Engrams, one of the key ways to level toward the seasonal Power cap required to take on Destiny 2's endgame content. That issue has been fixed in a new update to the game, which also fixes some other problems and one familiar exploit.

The patch notes for Hotfix 3.0.0.4 are live on Bungie's website, running down a handful of mostly small changes that should make life in Destiny 2 a little easier. Chief among them is a fix for Prime Attunement, a status characters get after they hit the soft Power level cap of 1200. Once you reach that level, your character is supposed to automatically gets the Prime Attunement status, which starts dishing out Prime Engrams as drops during gameplay. You need those engrams to grow your character's Power level up to the next cap of 1250, but previously, some players weren't getting the engrams they deserved, making the climb to 1250 (and getting ready to raid Deep Stone Crypt) a lot tougher.

The update also changes the kinds of weapons and armor you can get from random drops in the world. Items from the last few seasons of Destiny 2 are now part of that loot pool, and Bungie has tuned the drops so that items that are newer should drop more frequently than older gear.
