[GameSpot] - Destiny 2 Update 3.3.0.3 Patch Notes: Trials Of Osiris Gets Tweaked Again

[343iBot]

Destiny 2's latest patch has gone live, bringing with it a few new changes to Bungie's RPG-shooter across multiple areas of the game. One of the biggest changes in Hotfix 3.3.0.3 is directed at the Trials of Osiris, the pinnacle PvP mode that returned earlier this month.

While a number of changes have revitalized the multiplayer mode, the latest tweak will now ensure that special ammo is a rare resource again. Usually, Guardians are given a small amount of the green-colored ammo for weapons such as shotguns, sniper rifles, and trace rifles, and when they revive, the amount is reset.

A cunning Guardian could exploit this mechanic to get more special ammo, a slightly unfair advantage that rewards players for suicide runs over skill and accuracy.

Among other changes include weapons received from the Trials of Osiris Reputation Rank Reward track from Saint-14 will now have their Masterwork slots active, and the chances of accidentally purchasing gear from the legendary Guardian will be minimized with this hotfix.

In the rest of the Crucible, a tooltip has been added to Glory and Elimination playlists to indicate skill-based matchmaking. An issue where the Proving Grounds strike would not appear on Nessus for players if they didn’t unlock it before Season of the Lost began has been resolved, and yet another Telesto issue has been fixed so that orbs of power won't be spawned when hit with a Hunter's hit with a proximity explosive knife attack.

You can see the full patch notes below from Bungie:
