Destiny 2 Patch Goes Live – Detailed Notes On What’s New

Destiny 2: 1.0.3

The wait for the maintenance period has finally come to end, and with that comes Destiny 2: 1.0.3 update. Players were forced to wait for servers to come back online after they were offline longer than expected, they are greeted with a new Destiny 2 patch that brings more features to the table.

This afternoon, Bungie released notes on their latest release that they dubbed “The one about Faction Rallies”. Fans of the first title will remember the ability to pledge their allegiance to three specific factions: Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, and New Monarchy. This feature is now live on Destiny 2, which allows guardians to earn reputation tokens in order to obtain a reward package. Of course, helping your faction achieve the most rank ups will allow your faction to win events. The faction will also give a player a buff for the full duration and get the chance to win sweet, exclusive loot.

Other important notes about the Destiny 2: 1.0.3 update are the various fixes brought to the game. Fans can expect fixes along the lines of a bit of tweaking, including the UI, activities, clans, Eververse, the Crucible, and other general fixes. Bungie also provided some updates for the companion app for mobile devices on Android, iOS, and Windows.
