Destiny: Hard Mode for Crota’s End in ‘final stages’ of development

Crota, the raid boss in Destiny's newest raid Crota's End, has been slayed over one million times. Suffice to say, Guardians are ready for a new challenge. And they'll get it soon.

In the latest weekly update for Destiny, Bungie noted that Hard Mode for Corta's End is going through "the final stages of deployment."

"It's almost ready," the developer assured. "As soon as we have a concrete date to share, we'll set it in stone so you can assemble your crew for that first run, or so you can find the time to tune into the streams and vicariously witness the madness and make note of the new and necessary strategy updates."

Bungie didn't spoil any of the surprises, but did say players will have to learn a new trick or two.

In the meantime, a separate update, due out on Tuesday, January 13th, will bring a few other changes to Crota's End. Here are the updates planned for the raid:

  • The existing Pit treasure chest reward moved to killing Ir Yut, the Deathsinger.  She has a chance to drop Exotic weapons and armor, class pieces, and Radiant materials.
  • The Pit treasure chest will now contain Radiant Materials.

Pit Encounter

  • Removed the physics impulse caused by exploding lanterns.
Bridge Encounter
  • Players will now be required to cross the bridge in order to complete the bridge encounter.
  • Players will now be required to wait for the bridge to be completed prior to crossing with the sword.
Deathsinger Encounter
  • Fixed a rare case where the Shriekers would not spawn, preventing players from reaching the Deathsinger.
Crota Encounter
  • Two Swordbearers will no longer spawn at the same time at the outset of the encounter.
  • Crota will now recover from his kneeling state after a player quits.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed players to remove the “Presence of Crota” using a Radiance Warlock’s Fireborn ability.
  • Fixed a bug that made the Oversoul appear destroyed to some players in a Fireteam when it was actually still active.
