Destiny 2 patch notes for update 4.0.1.1 are here, and they make subtle but important tweaks to abilities as well as bug fixes.

Destiny 2’s weekly reset is almost upon us, and the game’s rotation of activities will continue as soon as players have downloaded hotfix 4.0.1.1.

While it doesn’t add any additional new combat, it does make big changes to a series of subclass abilities, notably the Axion Bolt and Titan Barricade, while also making changes to the Renewal Grasps exotic armor.

The patch also squeezes in a handful of bug fixes amidst the latest Destiny 2 patch notes as the MMO/loot shooter hybrid continues rolling toward Season 17.
