Destiny’s 1.2.0 patch which was delayed before is finally out with lot of fixes and update. The patch was about to release last week but due to some technical issues it was delayed. This patch holds a lot of fixes and changes in the game that you can see on the official patch notes here and below. The game has attracted many gamers, but the bugs have reduced a bit of interest. On the other hand, the game developers are working to make things better. That is why we can see a few early release of patch with lots of fixes in the same. The patch also resolves little weapon issue. This includes issues with Vex Mythoclast that does not respawn back with ammo. There was a similar issue with Hive Disruptor perk. It is also resolved. You can now find this in Black Hammer perk set. The patch adds more bonus damages on the perks so that you can simply win easily in matches.
An important fix this patch brings is reduced time in player respawn. This happens a number of time when the players have to wait too long to respawn. After adding the patch the time is reduced a lot and you can instantly join the match. For console like Xbox One, the patch will resolve a lot of crashing issues. After Destiny Patch 1.2.0 there is another patch which is also in the process. It is Destiny Patch 1.2.0 .1. This will be available on May 19 with extra benefits. The patch is going to bring the second DLC pack called House of Wolves for the game.
