Destiny 2 Patch: Faction Rallies, Balance Changes, And More
Players have finally seen Destiny 2 on all three available systems – Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. As with all games, the game is not perfect and will see constant changes to meet the needs of the player base. To account for that, Bungie has released the next update Destiny 2 patch known as version 1.0.6 and additional hot fix update 1.0.6.1 for PC. It’s not all just corrections to the games, we will see some changes to key components of the game.
