Destiny 2 Season of the Wish patch notes for Update 7.3.0

The launch of Season of the Wish in Destiny 2 comes with a big batch of changes, and we have the patch notes to break them down. As Destiny 2 is an ever-evolving game, major patches like this one can have a significant impact on how we play the game in the coming weeks and months.

Update 7.3.0 brings some quality-of-life improvements, a couple of things being shifted around, and a handful of tough but necessary nerfs to the game. Here's everything you need to know from the Season of the Wish Update 7.3.0 patch notes.

Biggest changes in Update 7.3.0

One of the biggest headlines out of the patch notes is a big nerf coming to Osteo Striga. The SMG has been a little too strong for a long time due to several factors operating in tandem in ways they probably shouldn't have been. To reign it in and prevent power creeping out of control, Bungie has decided to remove the SMG damage bonus scalar from the poison damage, to bring that more in line with other poison effects.

In more positive news, both Revision Zero and Vex Mythoclast are getting big buffs for PvE. Both will do significantly more damage, especially against Champions, with Mythoclast doing a whopping 200% increased damage to Champions in Linear Fusion Rifle mode. Also, Thorn is getting a catalyst this season, which will improve its handling, stability, and range. Further, you can overflow the magazine by picking up Remnants.

For the collectors out there, Lost Sectors will now drop Foundry weapons from the world loot pool, which have been difficult to grind for in the past. Legend completions have a 70% drop rate, while Master completions are guaranteed to drop weapons, provided you clear out all the Champions. Also, Master completions will drop weapons with additional perks, which should drastically cut down the time required to grind for that perfect weapon roll.

    • Hammer Strike
    • Shiver Strike

    • Note: Perks that were designed to grant full energy refunds (e.g., Knock 'Em Down) or perks that target a single, specific ability (e.g., Shinobu's Vow) are not affected and grant the same energy that they did in the previous system.
