The next big chapter of Destiny 2 is only a few weeks away, and ahead of The Witch Queen’s release, Bungie has released a new patch. This week’s 3.4.0.2 patch is comprehensive, offering fixes across multiple areas of Destiny 2.
Some of these tweaks range from minor fine-tuning of Sparrow engine animations and adding the Dreissigste emblem to player collections, while issues surrounding the accumulation of Super energy in the Iron Banner and Moment Momentum Control PvP playlists have been fixed.
Elsewhere, the Dares of Eternity event will see the recommended Power level lowered to 1100, a datapad issue in the Presage Exotic mission has been ironed out, and several exploits in the Grasp of Avarice dungeon have been addressed.
The Forerunner Exotic sidearm has also been further tweaked, fixing several issues and restoring the Sidearm Reserves perk, which had previously been taken offline due to a possible exploit that Bungie had discovered. Icefall Mantle, which also had a potentially problematic exploit that could be taken advantage of, will no longer have its main perk activated immediately after the Glacial Guard ability deactivates on a Titan.
You can read the full patch notes below. For a more exciting Destiny 2 update, you can also check out the newest Witch Queen trailer that shows off Savathun’s spooky throne world.
Destiny Update 3.4.0.2 Notes
Crucible
- Fixed an issue in Iron Banner and Momentum Control playlists where capturing a zone on certain maps did not reward Super energy and show “zone captured” text.
- Iron Banner Freelance node now properly displays the longer respawn time setting.
Dares of Eternity
- Lowered recommended Power level to 1100.
- Fixed an issue where players could be auto launched into Dares of Eternity before acquiring a Heavy weapon.
- Additional physics objects are cleaned up between rounds to prevent crashes during long Dares sessions.
- Fixed an issue where rewards level (platinum, etc) would be displayed at the end of the activity in regular difficulty.
Presage Exotic Mission
- Fixed an issue preventing players from interacting with datapads within the Presage Exotic mission. Datapads and their connected compartments/chests must be accessed in order as players move through the Glykon.
- In addition to this fix, the weekly lockout for earning lore book pages for Presage completions was removed. Players will now earn one lore book page per activity completion without any weekly lockout. This should allow players to finish the lore book in the time remaining before The Witch Queen launches.
Dungeon: Grasp of Avarice
- Fixed an area where players can get out of the environment in Sunken Lair.
- Added geometry to prevent exploiting an encounter by completing it without engaging its mechanics.
Lost Sectors
- Fixed an issue where some of the Champions in the Chamber of Starlight lost sector were not counting towards the total for the purpose of calculating rewards, allowing players to skip them and still achieve platinum.
Public Events

UI / UX

General
- Fixed an issue where certain Sparrow engine VFX would fail to play.
- Fixed an issue where the emblem “The Metal, The Flow” could not be reclaimed in collections if discarded.

- Players who previously completed the Twitch Gift Subscriptions Bounty and did not receive the Watcher’s Shade shader can now claim it from Amanda Holliday in the Tower.
- The emblem Dreissigste, which is earned by completing Twitch Gift Subscription Bounties, now appears in Collections for players who have unlocked it.
- Fixed issue causing the perks on Banshee-44’s Legendary weapons to reroll on Wednesdays after the weekly reset.
