Destiny players already had reason to look forward to July 16, considering it marks the start of Act 2 of Destiny 2: Echoes. Bungie rolled out the 8.0.0.7 patch on the same day, tackling multiple bugs and a myriad of issues related to gear items and activities.

In addition, soft-locking errors impacting the Salvation\u2019s Edge Raid and underwater bugs for Ghosts of the Deep were also tackled in the July 16 update. Patch notes for Destiny 2\u2019s 8.0.0.7 update The release notes for Destiny 2\u2019s July 16 patch read as follows (via Bungie.net): Activities Vanguard Ops Liminality Fixed an issue where the initial dialog may not trigger correctly. – Crucible Fixed the respawn timer option not setting correctly in Crucible Private Match. – Raid and Dungeons Fixed an issue with endgame timers being too short. – Ghosts of the Deep Fixed an issue that prevented players from seeing their buffs and debuffs while underwater. – Salvation\u2019s Edge Fixed an issue where the Witness\u2019s health could be emptied as Final Stand ended, leading to a softlock. – Fixed an issue that prevented enemies from despawning after the Witness\u2019s defeat. – Fixed an issue preventing players from claiming the Monolithic Memento from the vendor at the end of Salvation\u2019s Edge, after successfully meeting the unlock requirements. – Exotic Mission Rotator Fixed an issue where Avalon and Starcrossed were not including the weekly activity challenge for rotator mission completions. – UI and UX Fireteam Finder Fixed an issue where last season\u2019s Grandmaster Nightfalls appeared as listing options, and if selected, players might launch into the incorrect Nightfall. – Gameplay and Investment Pathfinder Fixed an issue where the Urban Parkour Pathfinder objective was not being updated when completed in Lost City Outskirts. – Fixed an issue with the map location for the Blighted Clash Pathfinder objective on The Pale Heart. – Fixed an issue where the Resonant Synergy Pathfinder objective didn\u2019t work with the Prismatic subclasses. – Fixed an issue where a non-PvP option wasn\u2019t available on one of the Rituals Pathfinder options. – Changed the node that required 150 Cabal kills so that it takes all combatants into consideration. Cabal kills grant additional progress. – Gameplay Shieldcrush (Artifact Perk) Fixed an issue where Grapple Punch was gaining full bonuses from either half of the Artifact perk. While Radiant or Amplified, Grapple Punch will gain a 12% bonus. – While Radiant or Amplified, if Woven Mail, Frost Armor, or a Void Overshield are active, Grapple Punch will gain another stacking 12% bonus.

This fix does not affect Spirit of Osmiomancy. – – Weapons Fixed an issue where the Enhanced Eddy Current perk was being applied twice. – Fixed an issue where keys from the raid used in Excision could provide a weapon whose pattern is already unlocked. Now it will drop a Salvation\u2019s Edge raid Deepsight weapon that always provides pattern progress until all patterns for Salvation\u2019s Edge are unlocked. – – Fixed a rare issue where the Guardian Games weapons Taraxippos and The Title could errantly cause crashes when weapon leveling Enhanced or crafted weapons. – Reduced the muzzle flash visual effects of The Riposte Auto Rifle. – Rewards Fixed an issue blocking the acquisition of the Lightfall Exotic armor reward for Legendary campaign completion. – Fixed an issue where the Ignited Light Triumph was not tracking encounter challenges. – Fixed an issue where Dread combatants and Tormentors were not providing the intended amount of XP and Glimmer upon death. – Platforms and Systems Fixed an issue that could cause thermal errors on Xbox platforms when near Prismatic wells. – Destiny 2\u2019s 8.0.0.7 patch launched across all platforms on July 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
