New Destiny Patch Out Now, Adds Better Nightfall Rewards and More

Bungie has deployed a new Destiny hotfix, 2.0.1.2, which introduces the much-requested better Nightfall rewards and more. The patch arrived today at 10 AM PDT, and you can read the full changelog below.

Today's Destiny update also addresses Shadowshots, increases the number of Strange Coins awarded for Crucible matches, and tweaks the Daily Heroic Story, among other things. In addition, Bungie reminds players that Hard Mode for the King's Fall raid will arrive on October 23 at 10 AM PDT.

Check out the full Destiny 2.0.1.2 patch notes below. Bungie previously admitted that the Nightfall rewards were so bad it could "feel like losing" and recommended you don't play the missions until this patch arrived. Are you satisfied with the new Nightfall rewards and other changes? Let us know in the comments below.
