Early patch notes for Destiny 2’s Into the Light update are here, giving us details on some of the changes coming to the game.
The update brings us big new additions and brings back some classics, but also features a bevvy of smaller changes. Here’s a rundown of everything we know is changing in Destiny 2 when Into the Light launches.
What are the big changes?
We have a much more in-depth breakdown of the new features included in Into the Light, but the broad strokes are as follows:
- Onslaught – a new wave-based horde mode
- Brave Arsenal – courtesy of Lord Shaxx, many classic weapons are returning with new features and a fresh coat of paint
- Hall of Champions – a new social space dedicated to the new update and the Brave Arsenal
- Exotic Missions – Zero Hour and The Whisper return with updates, bringing craftable versions of Whisper of the Worm and Outbreak Perfected
- New Crucible maps – Three new maps coming to PvP modes, called Eventide Labs, Cirrus Plaza, and Dissonance
- Pantheon – a new boss rush mode where players can challenge Raid bosses one after another
It is worth mentioning that not all of these new features are coming on April 9. Into The Light is an ongoing release and some of this content will be released over the next few weeks.
