Destiny 2 Patch Fixes EDZ Obelisk Bug, But Telesto, Wish-Ender Nerfed
Bungie has finally fixed a few of the issues plaguing the Season of Dawn.
Destiny 2's latest patch fixes a number of the troubles that have plagued the Season of Dawn since its launch a few weeks ago. The update, Hotfix 2.7.0.2, addresses some bugs and issues that have inconvenienced players, including the inability to interact with the EDZ Sundial obelisk.
Patch notes for the hotfix are live on Bungie's website, which detail a short list of changes to the game that mostly remove bugs and make minor but meaningful adjustments. The EDZ bug is probably the biggest one--previously, Guardians had to repeatedly enter the area that includes the obelisk in an attempt to get the prompt to appear that allowed them to interact with it. The patch also fixes a weekly Gunsmith calibration bounty, which hasn't been available since the start of the season.
Hotfix 2.7.0.2 also makes some fixes to things that were actually working out in players' favor. Bungie has reduced the amount of damage the Exotic bow Wish-Ender does with its Broadhead perk. Throughout the Season of Dawn, Wish-Ender has been doing a ton of extra damage, which has made it a go-to weapon for killing primevals in Gambit matches. The hotfix also fixes Telesto, which would dish out additional Special ammo when paired with the Heavy Handed seasonal mod.
