‘Destiny’ Update Features A DLC, Hot Fix, A New Event And A Soundtrack

The Loot Cave--or what some have called the Treasure Cave-has been seen as a bug by developer Bungie and has been shut down since. But even though another one has been discovered, there is another bug that may be the best clue to the expansions coming to the game.

Spotted by Kotaku, two players have already experienced the bug, which basically locks you out of the missions, but reveals all the mission contained in the map. That trade-off has allowed access to detailed descriptions of what appears to be the two announced DLCs, The Dark Below and House of Wolves, among others.

According to the screenshot, The Dark Below requires an expansion, and will require Level 10 Strike. You can play with one to three players. It will feature a new Hive brood where you will need to find the master to defeat them all.

The House of Wolves is another expansion pack that one- to three-players in a team. Here, you'll need Level 14 Strike, and it may take place in the ocean of storms on the moon. Other areas that have appeared because of the bug include The Summoning Pits, Crota's End and The Hypogeum, which are expected to be the maps in The Dark Below.

Bungie has not commented on the leak, but it would be interesting to see if this means that the team has already created a complete game trapped in the disc that has been divided into parts to serve as a DLC.

Upcoming Hot Fix For 'Destiny'

Another patch dubbed 1.0.2 will be coming for "Destiny" to introduce new changes, particularly to Cryptarch and Engram. There will be a couple of changes in the items and activity, as listed below, courtesy of the official Bungie website:

- Legendary Engrams will now produce Legendary or better items, Materials or Exotics

- Rare Engrams will now always produce Rare or better quality items, and better chances of producing Legendary quality items

- The Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams besides the existing rewards

- Ascendant materials have now been promoted to Legendary so they can be closer associated with the gear they will be used to upgrade

- Legendary Engram items that are still in the inventory when the patch becomes live will become demoted to Rare Quality items. So be sure to decode them before this happens.

New Event and Soundtrack Coming

The developer has also updated fans with a new event, which will occur from Oct. 7 to Oct. 14. The Iron Banner, which was first samples during the beta run, will be a special Crucible event that will reward fans with a Legendary Iron Banner Gear and Iron Banner Emblems, Shaders and Ships.

Also in the update, those who loved the tunes from their favourite gameplay moments can now bring them to your discs and mp3s. The actual release date and prices have not yet been specified, but for those who want to sample the offering, the team behind the soundtrack has also prepared a teaser medley, which can be accessed here.
