'Destiny' patch update to fix 'The Dark Below' DLC loopholes

Facebook

When Bungie released "The Dark Below" DLC for the hit game "Destiny," players found tricks and loopholes in the latest expansion. Specifically, players found a way around the Crota's End raid mission. This is the main reason why the game developer rolled out a patch update, on top of addressing other bugs and issues found in the game. 

Also, not so long ago, Bungie gifted "Destiny" players with mysterious, "legendary" gifts. The packages were sent to millions of players, one for each account. Players who have not done so already should pay a visit to the postmaster to look for the message from an unknown benefactor. According to reports, the gift can be either a primary, secondary or heavy weapon. The gift is randomly selected, which means that players receive different weapons. 

In addition, those who purchase a digital copy of the game for their Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 will also be able to download a copy of the game for Xbox One or PlayStation 4, for free. This is a limited-time offer so gamers using last-gen consoles should take advantage of this freebie. 

Below is the complete list of rewards and updates included in the latest patch update for the game. The developer confirmed that it is currently working on more updates in order to resolve the remaining bugs thriving in the game.
