Destiny update 1.1.1 now live; full patch notes detailed

Bungie has unleashed Destiny update 1.1.1. Appropriately titled, "the one about weapon rebalance," the massive update brings a ton of changes to Destiny's weapon types.

Over the past few weeks, Bungie has spent time prepping us for today, giving us sneak peeks at various balancing changes, tweaks, and other features 1.1.1 will bring. While weapon "rebalancing" (aka nerfs) and mandatory matchmaking for Heroic Strikes stole much of the spotlight, the official patch notes are actually quite lengthier. Check them out below.

Weapons

General

Fixed an issue in which armor with perks that increase ammunition carrying capacity resulted in ammunition loss upon respawn

Decreased over-penetration value for weapons with armor piercing perks

Fixed an issue where items from the PS3/360 Destiny demo were using old power values. They have been adjusted to regular levels

Song of Ir Yut weapon tooltip now advertises the correct magazine size

Shoot to Loot: Two-second cooldown added to perk to prevent extra ammunition gains while ammunition bricks despawn

Dark Breaker perk will now correctly damage Hive Shriekers

Snap Discharge will now increase attack speed as per the description

Technical

Networking improvements for certain routers

Edit

Bug was introduced in 1.1.1 patch that caused the Vex Mythoclast to spawn with less ammo in the magazine and reserves in PvP
- This weapon was affected by overall Fusion Rifle changes because it is treated as a secondary weapon
- We intend to correct this issue in a future release
