Bungie has today released a new update for Destiny 2 a little over a month before the release of the game’s next major expansion, Lightfall. In a general sense, Destiny 2 is somewhat in a holding pattern right now as fans wait for Lightfall to finally drop and bring about with it a ton of new content. And while that expansion’s release is getting closer every day, some new improvements to Destiny 2 are now arriving today.
Fixed an issue where Shadebinder Warlocks couldn’t shoot Stasis projectiles during their Super.
Legend difficulty now grants progression toward various Triumphs and Challenges.
Increased the cooldown of the Barricade ability while Citan’s Ramparts are equipped by 70%.
Increased the amount of damage players deal to a Citan’s Barricade by 25%.
Developer note: This change should decrease how often one sees a Citan’s Barricade in PvP, as well as add more opportunities for effective counterplay.
Happy farming.
This includes crafting support for the enhanced versions of these perks.

If you shaped one of these weapons and did not complete the objective for it, you can reshape the weapon with no changes (and thus no cost) to advance the objective.
Like the aforementioned Triumph, you can reshape Revision Zero with no changes to advance this objective.

Additionally, the first daily drop of a Wellspring weapon will have Deepsight.
Once unlocked on a character, each class’s respective Exotic Glaive recipe will be available for purchase on the Evidence Board.
The requirements for reshaping a weapon with enhanced perks have been temporarily removed.
Reshaping any weapon will complete this objective, regardless of whether the weapon has been upgraded with enhanced perks or not.
