The Destiny House of Wolves DLC that was released last month is receiving a few tweaks from Bungie today. The major changes from patch 1.2.0.2 give players greater chances of picking up precious treasure keys.

Bungie’s blog announced the hotfix by saying, “Ever since House of Wolves was released, we’ve been following player feedback on multiple fronts. These changes to the player experience are being deployed to correct a few issues you’ve noticed- as well as a few we noticed.”

Key Highlights

• The first Wanted Fallen Bounty completed each week is now guaranteed to drop a Treasure Key
• Greatly increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from the small chests at the end of the Prison of Elders
• Increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from Ether Chests

• You will need to defeat Skolas again to receive the ‘Elder Cipher’ Bounty
• Damage caused by Qodron’s Gaze is reduced by 25%
• Damage multiplier for the Jailbreaker buff increased by 100%

Trials of Osiris

• Passage Coins can now be dismantled

Bounties

Weapons

• Fixed a bug in which the 1.2.0.1 hotfix mistakenly did not contain the 1.1.1 Fusion Rifle balance changes.  As a result, players were playing with its pre-1.1.1 weapon balance state.  The original fix has been re-applied.
