Bungie has released update 1.2.0.2 for Destiny, implementing a number of changes based on player feedback since the release of House of Wolves. The update addresses various gameplay aspects of Destiny, including the newly released Prison of Elders and Trials of Osiris activities.
"These changes to the player experience are being deployed to correct a few issues that you’ve noticed – as well as a few we noticed," Bungie said.
The full patch notes for update 1.2.0.2 are listed below:
Key Highlights
- The first Wanted Fallen Bounty completed each week is now guaranteed to drop a Treasure Key
- Greatly increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from the small chests at the end of the Prison of Elders
- Increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from Ether Chests
Prison of Elders
- Greatly increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from the small chests
- Class Items will now drop from Level 32, Level 34, and Level 35
- Fixed a bug in which the Ship (Hildian Seeker) did not drop under certain circumstances
- Fixed a bug in which the ‘Elder Cipher’ Bounty could not be acquired if your Bounty inventory was full
- You will need to defeat Skolas again to receive the ‘Elder Cipher’ Bounty
- Damage caused by Qodron’s Gaze is reduced by 25%
- Damage multiplier for the Jailbreaker buff increased by 100%
Trials of Osiris
- Fixed an issue in which Trials of Osiris emblems were not sent to the Postmaster if your Emblem inventory was full
- Passage Coins can now be dismantled
Weekly Heroics
- Fixed an issue where the Weekly Heroic strikes did not award engrams (Note: Tooltip will not display them as rewards)
World

Quests

Bounties
- The first Wanted Fallen Bounty completed each week is now guaranteed to drop a Treasure Key
Weapons
- Fixed a bug in which the 1.2.0.1 hotfix mistakenly did not contain the 1.1.1 Fusion Rifle balance changes. As a result, players were playing with its pre-1.1.1 weapon balance state. The original fix has been re-applied.

Today also marks the return of The Iron Banner which has also had some major changes as a result of last month's update 1.2.0.1. You can read all about the Iron Banner updates here.
