The much-awaited Hotfix 4.0.0.4 for Destiny 2 is finally available for download. This update increases the element crafting currency caps, which was discussed in last week’s TWAB. It also fixes a technical issue that involves the use of certain programs.
In this patch, the Ruinous, Adroit, Mutable, Drowned, and Energetic elements have their caps increased to 1,000, with the Neutral element now capped at 10,000. These changes were made to address the issue of players maxing out their weapon crafting resources often.
In addition, the bug that caused Destiny 2 to crash when using some overlays or PC optimization software has now been resolved. These include popular programs such as MSI Afterburner and Razer Cortex. It took a while for the devs to fix this, but it’s better late than never.
Also, players who ran into an issue where they were unable to unlock or acquire a Light subclass are now able to do so as intended.
