  • Trailer: https://youtu.be/L_n8u_Ltq9U
• VOG CHAMPS
  • Clan Elysium claimed the title of World First.
  • There is an interview with the fireteam in the Full TWAB.
• Slow Down
  • This is a long conversation with Sandbox Lead Kevin Yanes about Stasis, their vision for Guardian vs. Guardian combat, and their plan to get there.
  • Goals:
    • Weapons are primary way players engage with combat.
    • Non-Super abilities should augment the combat, but not solve an encounter alone.
    • Abilities have clear strengths, weaknesses, and counterplays.
    • Build-crafting is rewarding within the moment-to-moment combat loop of Destiny.
  • The Plan:
    • They’re moving a large Stasis balance patch from Season 15 to Thursday, June 3rd.
    • There will be more changes in Seasons 15 and 16.
  • The Patch:
    • Stasis Freeze
      • Reduced duration of all non-Super freezes vs. players to 1.35s.
        • Note: This freeze is too short to break out of, so breaking out is now only possible when frozen by a Super.
      • Reduced Special-weapon, Heavy-weapon, and Light-ability bonus damage vs. frozen players from +50% to +5%.
    • Stasis Slow
      • No longer reduces weapon accuracy.
        • Now increases weapon flinch when under fire.
      • No longer suppresses class ability and air moves (e.g., Icarus Dash).
        • Known issue: The Stormcaller’s Ionic Blink is still suppressed when slowed. We plan to address this in a future release.
      • Reduced movement speed penalty while slowed by ~20%.
    • Whisper of Hedrons Fragment
      • No longer increases weapon damage after freezing.
      • Now increases weapon stability, weapon aim assist, Mobility, Resilience, and Recovery after freezing.
    • Whisper of Rime Fragment
      • No longer provides overshield while in Super.
    • Coldsnap Grenade
      • Seeker no longer tracks targets after initial target acquisition.
      • Increased arming duration before seeker spawns from 0.3s to 0.8s.
      • Reduced detonation radius vs. players from 3m to 1.5m.
      • Now bounces off walls and detonates on the ground.
    • Shiver Strike
      • Reduced flight speed and distance.
      • Reduced knockback vs. players.
      • Removed slow detonation on player impact.
    • Cryoclasm
      • Now requires the Titan to sprint for 1.25s before activation when not in Super.
      • Removed cooldown.
    • Howl of the Storm
      • Reduced angle of initial freezing/damage cone.
      • Reduced crystal-creation freezing radius.
      • Slowed down sequence of crystal formation to allow victims more opportunity to escape.
      • Now spawns a small crystal on walls if performed into walls.
    • Glacial Quake
      • Reduced heavy slam vertical freeze range vs. players.
      • Reduced damage resistance from 50% to 47%
    • Withering Blade
      • Reduced slow duration vs. players from 2.5s to 1.5s.
      • Reduced Whisper of Durance slow-duration extension vs. players from 2s to 0.5s.
      • Reduced damage vs. players from 65 to 45 (after one bounce reduced further to 30).
      • Reduced projectile speed by 10%.
      • Reduced tracking after bouncing off a wall.
    • Winter’s Shroud
      • Reduced slow duration vs. players from 2.5s to 1.5s.
      • Reduced Whisper of Durance slow-duration extension vs. players from 2s to 0.5s.
    • Touch of Winter
      • Coldsnap seeker no longer has increased movement speed or travel distance.
      • Coldsnap seeker now spawns a small Stasis crystal on detonation.
    • Penumbral Blast
      • Reduced tracking and proximity detonation size and tracking vs. players.
      • Reduced freeze radius vs. players when impacting the environment from 2.7m to 1.5m.
    • Iceflare Bolts
      • Seeker now only chains once when spawned from a player shatter.
    • Winter’s Wrath
      • Freezing-projectile tracking strength now ramps down to 0 after 2s of flight.
• Expunged
  • Bungie caused a bunch of confusion by calling Expunge the “Weekly Pinnacle Mission” and having the Pinnacle part tied to a challenge becoming available June 15th.
  • Loot works like this: First four weeks of missions give a high-stat-roll armor piece, remaining Expunge missions drop Seasonal weapons with double perks in the final column.
• Lights (Support Section)
  • Hotfix 3.2.0.3 goes live Thursday, June 3rd at daily reset. Some issues being addressed:
    • The Empty Tank Lost Sector will correctly reward Leg Exotics when advertised.
    • The Couturier Gauntlets will no longer obstruct a player’s view when using Bows and will appear again as intended.
    • The Archon’s Thunder Machine Gun and Riiswalker Shotgun can now be acquired from Lord Saladin, Iron Engrams, Bounties, or post-match Iron Banner rewards.
  • Some patch notes were missed for Hotfix 3.2.0.2. Here they are:
    • Removed Glimmer cost to apply shaders.
    • Fixed an issue where players were unable to use the /Join command on Steam.
    • Fixed an issue that prevented Reverie Dawn armor from taking shaders.
    • Reduced the kill requirements to unlock Null Composure’s Gambit ornament.
    • Fixed an issue where the Contender Plate Titan chest ornament would not show up under universal ornaments for those who purchased the Guardian Games bundle.
  • PS5 players have noticed an increase in BEAGLE errors, Bungie is looking into it.
  • (Relevant) Known Issues:
    • The Feast of Light perk on the Star-Eater Scales armor is not working as intended when stepping in a Well of Radiance.
    • Some weapons that can be obtained from the Gunsmith are missing Masterwork slots.
    • We are investigating issues related to several color-blind modes obscuring the Oracles in Atheon’s Throne Room.
    • Shaders that came pre-built on armors, such as Iron Banner shaders, appear before the Default option in the Appearance Customization menu.
    • The Cache of Kabr chest at the end Vault of Glass may list incorrect perks and weapon types on available Weapon Caches.
• Author’s Note:
