This Week In Destiny - 09/11/2025

TL;DR:

Power and Progression: Buffs and Fixes

(MoSadie’s Note: This section has a lot of developer insight cut out, please read the Original TWID for additional details and plans.)

There is a lot of feedback about the new expanded power band above 450+ feeling off. Bungie agrees and is rapidly working on fixes and buffs. Some can be applied directly to the live game (LUPs) and other require waiting for a patch.

Live Update Changes

The power climb from 450-500 needs to be better. (And in general it needs to be better, but this is a first step.)

A post will be made on Destiny2Team accounts when this LUP is live. Targeting the end of this week but may need to delay depending on validation efforts.

Here’s the changes in this LUP:

Live Update Reward Adjustment

Platinum (450-500)
- A+ grades now grant +2 Power
- A grades now grant +2 Power
- B+ grades now grant +1 Power
- B grades now grant +1 Power

Gold (400-450)
- B grades now grant +1 Power
- C+ grades now grant +0 Power (At your Power Level)
Silver (300-400)

Live Update Scoring Changes

Player Support Report

Known Issues List

General
- Focusing engrams at a vendor can cause the reward to drop at a lower Power level than what was displayed.
Armor and Perks
- Some Exotic armors are displaying an incorrect stat instead of its Power level. This is a visual bug and will not affect the gear’s performance.
- The Vigilant Seraph Robes Warlock chest piece will clip into the player’s POV when aiming down sights on some weapons. The Obsidian Durasteel, Cyborg Nemesis, and Marauder Progeny universal ornaments cannot be equipped.
Activities and Portal
- We are aware of an issue where players will sometimes all respawn dead after moving to a new activity area in Reclaim.
- Rewards earned for completing the Fallen Sabre Grandmaster Conquest are going directly to the postmaster.
Abilities
- We have identified an issue where ability cooldowns are not working as intended.
Systems
- Due to an issue where inspecting the Holofoil versions of the Folded Root and Romantic Death weapons are causing crashes on Xbox, we have temporarily disabled the Holofoil versions of those weapons.
