While Shacknews has already provided an overview on what today’s Destiny 2 patch was expected to offer, Bungie has released the full patch notes for the 1.1.1.1 update this afternoon, giving us a chance to dive into the details on the first update since the The Curse of Osiris expansion launched last week. In addition to changes the development team discussed in their statement to fans a couple of weeks ago, the 1.1.1.1 update offers adjustments to the requirements for entering raids and Trials of the Nine content. These adjustments allow players that have not purchased the recent expansion to access end-game content that had been temporarily blocked off by an increase in Power Level requirements that were only attainable by owning the Curse of Osiris expansion.

You can check out the full list of patch notes below:

Activities

Leviathan Raid

• Brought the Prestige "Leviathan" raid back down to 300 Power, making it accessible to all players, regardless of Curse of Osiris ownership
• Adjusted Prestige difficulty rewards no longer grant guaranteed 330 Power items
• Adjusted the difficulty for the normal Calus encounter

Trials of the Nine

• Players who do not own Curse of Osiris may now access Trials of the Nine when a Destiny 2 launch map is featured

Trophies and Achievements

• Modified the achievement "The Prestige" and the associated trophy to remove the Nightfall component
