A Destiny 2 Hotfix has just been added to take us through to the end of Season of the Seraph. Destiny 2 is gearing up for the next big chapter with the release of Lightfall next month, but we still have a few weeks to cover. This Hotfix makes a couple of smaller adjustments, as well as changes to see out the season. Here are all the details in the Destiny 2 Hotfix 6.3.0.4 patch notes.

There are plenty of details in the full list below, but here are some of the more impactful changes in this hotfix. Firstly, Grandmaster Nightfalls have just kicked off for Season 19, and the barrier to entry has been reduced.

Players can now enter GM Nightfalls at the power cap, which is currently 1580, and the power level requirement has been reduced from +25 to +15. This means you do not need to have as many extra levels built up on your artefact to take part in Grandmaster Nightfalls.

The cost of focusing armour from Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, Gambit and Crucible has been reduced. The Legendary Shard cost has been reduced from 50 to 25, and the Glimmer cost has been reduced from 10,000 to 5,000. Further, the cost of focusing Adept weapons from Trials has been reduced from 250 Legendary Shards down to 50.

Lastly, the drop rates of Deepsight weapons in all raids and the Duality dungeon have been increased. This means more of those red-bordered weapons should appear in your game, making crafting them much easier.
