Destiny 2 Patch 2.5.2.2 Makes the Mountaintop and Wendigo GL3 Easier to Earn, Larger Inventory Space

A new patch for Destiny 2 has arrived,d along with a brand new community event featured on Mars

Destiny 2 still has a solid month before the release of Shadowkeep, which is going to change how the game is played moving forward as Bungie assumes full publishing and developing responsibilities for the title. Following the end of the latest Iron Banner, Destiny 2’s 2.5.2.2 patch is getting players ready to take on their new challenges by making some well-timed changes.

The pinnacle weapon quests for the Mountaintop and Wendigo GL3 are getting reduced to make both weapons easier to acquire. Now, players are going to have a much easier time adding these two guns to their collection, getting ready for Shadowkeep in proper fashion. Those new requirements are listed below with the rest of the notes.

Beyond the gun updates, there is a handful of quality of life changes in the game. For starters, the inventory has received a boost with players now able to hold even more stacks of particular tokens they may have earned from grinding various pieces of content. Previously, the limit for many of these tokens, like the Vanguard, Iron Banner, Gunsmith, etc., were set to 999. Now, that limit has gone up to 9,999. For players who showed up once a week to play the game, they may not entirely benefit. However, those who were regularly playing Destiny 2 nonstop are going to find so many tokens available; they may want to hold on to them until Shadowkeep drops on Oct. 1.

There are additional changes to the way the Reckoning functions, along with Braytech Schematics, which you can read in the full patch notes posted below. The 2.5.2.2 patch follows the ending of last week’s Iron Banner event and welcomes the new Mars Community Event. The Community Event has players fighting back the dangerous hordes on the planet, particular the Hive, along with repeating a Nightfall and Strikes to take down the bosses featured on Mars.

Check out the full patch notes below, and get ready to play Destiny 2’s Shadowkeep expansion on Oct. 1.
