Bungie kicked off a big week for “Destiny” fans with the huge announcement that the games next major expansion, “House of Wolves” would be launching within a month. Following up on that news, the studio has announced that Update 1.1.2, which brings numerous changes to the game, including added vault space, is now live.

The number of changes, tweaks and bug fixes coming in Update 1.1.2 are huge and will affect everything from weapons to perks, the world, strikes, raids, pvp, the UI, audio, the companion app and more. The update also fixes issues with the recently launched suspend/resume mode on PlayStation 4, introduced in the Yukimura update.

The new update comes just in time for the weekly reset of the “Destiny” game world. As noted by PlayStation Universe, this weeks strike sees players return to The Devil’s Lair in Old Russia. Guardians will ultimately have to take on Fallen Servitor Sepiks Prime, and Nightfall Strike modifiers will include Epic, Lightswitch, Angry, Nightfall and Arc Burn active, which means arc damage from any source is massively increased.
