It’s another week of updates for Destiny 2 as we move further through the Into the Light content, as well as getting closer to The Final Shape expansion. Update 7.3.6.1 has rolled out and it’s a pretty simple one. This one just does a little bit of maintenance and adjustment. However, those who quit Crucible are about to have a worse time going forward. The penalty has been adjusted in this update so that it affects your whole account, rather than just the character you’re playing on.

Destiny 2 Update 7.3.6.1 patch notes

Bungie released Destiny 2 Update 7.3.6.1 and its accompanying patch notes this week, sharing the latest balances and tweaks on the game. Perhaps one of the biggest is the changes to Crucible penalties for quitting players. Where previously it just affected the character you were playing on, those with multiple characters will now find that they can’t simply escape to a spare character when they drop out of a Crucible match early. That penalty now affect’s the player’s account. There were other changes as well. You can check them out in full below:
