Bungie has announced that it has rolled out a new update 1.2.0.2 for the popular FPS game, Destiny.
This is the biggest update since the game received the House of Wolves DLC, which brought in more content to the game adding Prison of Elders.
The new update 1.2.0.2 will bring Treasure keys for all the players. These Keys are consumable items of rarity that will help in opening the chests at the end of the Prison of Elders. But following the House of Wolves DLC, the drop-rate of these had lessened. However, the new update will change all that.
The update also brings changes to the Trails of Osiris, Weekly Heroics, weapons, bounties and items.
The update 1.2.0.2 fixed bugs in 'Elder Cipher' Bounty, Gone to Ground' quest, 1.2.0.1 hotfix; fixed an issue in Trials of Osiris emblems, Weekly Heroic strikes and more.
Update 1.2.0.2 will be playable soon. While you wait, here's what's on the way. https://t.co/mMTB1k1dJk pic.twitter.com/NYhnfEYqX8
