Update 1.08 now live

Update 2: If you don’t see the above image when starting Destiny, Bungie says to shut down and restart the game. Update: With the update expected to be fully rolled out by 11am/2pm ET today on all platforms, Bungie revealed all the patch notes for the latest Destinyupdate, which brings Exotics weapon buffs, additional acquisition paths for destination upgrade materials, additional changes to exotic gear node upgrading in preparation for The Dark Below, and more. Here’s all the details for update 1.1: Weapons Exotics Exotic Weapons are designed to look, feel, and sound overpowered. At the same time, they are not supposed to break the balance of the game. We hope these weapons challenge the way players think about their loadouts. Exotics will be a constant work in-progress!
