Destiny Update Patch Notes Arrive as Iron Banner Goes Live

Right on schedule, a new "hotfix" for Destiny came out today, while the Iron Banner limited-time multiplayer event has begun.

Update 2.5.0.1 fixes a number of problems, including one where items required to complete Patrol activities in the Plaguelands did not drop as intended. The update also clears out a problem where some of Xur's Curios were not available to buy, including Three of Coins.

Additionally, the patch fixes exploits in the Crucible where players could leave the battlefield on more than a dozen maps. You can see a rundown of these maps in the full patch notes below.

The other big Destiny news today is that Iron Banner is back. This time, the game type is Clash, which is Destiny's version of Team Deathmatch. This newest Iron Banner, the first of 2017, runs for a week, ending on Tuesday, January 24. As usual, there are some spiffy-looking rewards up for grabs--see them here.

2017 is poised to be a big year for Destiny. As announced previously, Bungie plans to launch Destiny 2 during the year, though the game has yet to be formally unveiled.
