Destiny 2: Forsaken hotfix 2.0.2 shines a light on plenty of bugs in the expansion

Destiny 2: Forsaken is out in the wilds, and it is a game that is both gorgeous to hop into and hilarious to watch in action thanks to its time-honoured tradition of fixing some aspects of the sandbox and then seeing other bits break in the process. Which is all well and fine, until you find yourself on the run from a super Hive Thrall soldier who just won’t die no matter how many rounds of ammo from a Better Devils hand cannon you pump into the little bastard.

Anyway, with Destiny 2: Forsaken being of the live game ilk, fixes come through easily and quickly enough, although Bungie will need more than one just hotfix to patch the game up. Last night’s small patch saw plenty of minor tweaks and fixes thrown into the sandbox, ranging from weapons missing effects to the more egregious use of combined supers that saw players lose light energy when they comboed the Warlock’s new Dawnblade Well of Radiance with a Titan’s Sentinel Shield.

Here’s the full list below, if reading through multiple fixes tickles your fancy:
