Destiny 2 maintenance concludes early, update 1.03 released – all the patch notes

After announcing a two-hour extension to today’s server maintenance in Destiny, Bungie actually wrapped it up ahead of schedule.

The maintenance lasted seven hours, all told. Now, a new Destiny 2 patch is available for all to download. Coming in at just 850MB, update 1.03 brings a host of new fixes and enables a big promised feature.

Some of the problems on the game’s list of known issues were taken care of, and we also see a few other bug fixes in the UI and map design departments. The Faction Rally event, which kicks off this week, was also enabled with the patch.

If you’ve been following our Destiny 2 guide, you’ll likely be already done with all of the game’s content, which leave you to chase all the Exotic weapons and armour you’ve yet to get. The Faction Rally should be part of your end-game grind, too, though there aren’t any Exotics involved.

See the entire change log below:

Faction Rallies

• Pledge to a faction vendor – pledging places a buff on the player character for the duration of the event associating the character with the faction
• Earn faction Reputation tokens – by Destroying enemy resources in Lost Sectors, completing public events, completing strikes, completing Crucible matches, and the Leviathan raid
• Turn tokens in for reward packages – earn faction themed rewards from your faction
• Help your faction win – the faction with the most rank ups across the game will sell a new weapon at a discount for faction members

UI

• Fixed an issue in which Hunters with a specific amount of health would see their health bar on the HUD at all times

Activities

• Fixed issue in the raid that granted resurrection tokens unintentionally to players joining encounters in progress
• Fixed an issue in which killing the first Minotaur too quickly in the Unbreakable Adventure would result in progression being blocked

Clans

• Fixed an issue preventing some player from receiving weekly clan engrams
• Players who leave a clan will still not be eligible for clan rewards that week
