It’s a big day for Destiny 2, as following a slower month for the game, Bungie plans to release a major content drop. This centers around the Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack, but before players can dive into everything that’s new, they’ll first be faced with a period of server maintenance that will take servers down, followed by the release of the new update. [Update: The patch is now live to download; on Xbox, it’s a 4.19 GB file. We also have the full Destiny 2 3.4.0 update patch notes, and they are long, so buckle in.]
Server maintenance will begin at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET. The game will go offline at 8:45 AM PT, at which point you’ll be booted from any activities you’re in, so make sure you wrap up what you’re doing in advance, whether you’re finishing a weekly task or hitting up Xur. You won’t be able to log back in until 9 AM, although maintenance is expected to continue until 10 AM, so there might be issues playing before then.
Update 3.4.0 will start rolling out at 9 AM, so expect to see a download pop up around then. Full patch notes haven’t yet been released–those are expected today–but Bungie has been previewing the extensive list of changes they’ll bring to Supers, weapons, abilities, and more.
Coinciding with those changes to the nuts-and-bolts gameplay will come both this year’s Moments of Triumph and the aforementioned anniversary content. A free six-player activity called Dares of Eternity, which involves Xur, will be added along with new rewards. Those who buy the 30th Anniversary Pack will also get access to a new dungeon called Grasp of Avarice, the ability to unlock the beloved Exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn, and much more. As teased in a new 30th anniversary trailer, there will also be gear inspired by past Bungie games, including two that strongly resemble Halo’s classic magnum and battle rifle.
