Destiny 2 got a big overhaul this week with Update 3.4.0, and between several thousand words dedicated to activity changes, user interface fine-tuning, and tweaks to how Super energy will be generated, a few other other important details slipped through the cracks. In a more easily digestible update, Bungie added a few more patch notes on what else the update added.
The Lake of Shadows Strike will now require a bit more work, as Grask’s health has been buffed. Lake of Shadows is one of the quicker strikes in Destiny 2 and can easily be completed in under ten minutes, making it ideal for farming for an Exotic Cipher that can be used to purchase more rare loot in the game. If all three Guardians are prepared and loaded with a Super, Grask can be taken out within seconds.
For players who have claimed the Conqueror Seal from Week 7 of the seasonal challenges, the Grandmaster Nightfall catchup node will be available to them. In the Crucible, other changes included fixing a map exploit on on top of the tree near the Mill section on The Dead Cliffs.
Activity in Trials now displays potential rewards when you’re aiming for a Flawless run, and the respawn timer for Clash, Control, Rumble, and Iron Banner has increased from five seconds to seven seconds. Issues with Kinetic calibration bounties from Banshee-44 have been fixed, and a number of tweaks have been made to Ritual Reputations.
