Destiny ‘February’ update 2.1.1 patch notes detailed

Destiny's February update is in the midst of rolling out and Bungie has detailed the patch notes (for 2.1.1). The highlight, of course, is the arrival of the Valentine's Day event — "Crimson Days" — and the special 2v2 Crucible mode, Crimson Doubles. But there's plenty more that's changed as well.

Some of the changes, like the tweaks to Special Ammo and addition of Freelance playlist, have already been detailed by Bungie. The rest of update 2.1.1 can be read in the patch notes below.
