The new patch 2.9.1 for Destiny 2 brings significant changes to the weekly multi-raid reward limits, various weapon and armor fixes, and more. So let's take a look at all the changes in the latest update.

The latest Destiny 2 patch, Update 2.9.1, was released on July 7th. Players were able to log in again after 10 hours of server downtime, but Bungie warned that those attempting to log in or download a patch could experience severe disruption.

As far as what's included in the July 7 update, the most significant change is the removal of weekly reward caps from major raid encounters, including Leviathan, Eater of Worlds, Spire of Stars, Crowns of Sorrow, and Scourges of the Past.

It's important to note that secret chests will still have weekly locks after the update, so you won't be able to craft them indefinitely.

Moving on to changing armor and weapons, the issue that prevented Season of the Worthy Seasonal Armor mods from being able to be purchased from Banshee-44 has finally been fixed.

Additionally, an issue that prevented players from purchasing Banshee-44's Unflinching Machine Gun Mod has been fixed, so the mod should now be available for purchase.

In terms of investment, players have been complaining for a while that Heavy Hitters Triumph was not tracking properly when the Contact event bosses were defeated, but this should no longer be an issue once this patch is released.

A bunch of annoying issues we were experiencing in the contact public event have also been fixed, and the full Destiny 2 July 7 patch notes can be read below.
