Destiny 2 Hotfix 4.1.0.2: Solar 3.0 buffs, activities and more

Destiny 2 Season 17 is three weeks in, with Bungie already putting up one of the biggest patch notes this season.

After the implementation of the subclass rework, the community came up with numerous builds for both PvP and PvE. However, since every live service game comes with community feedback, players have found Warlocks and Titans to be quite underwhelming.

Therefore, with the recent hotfix 4.1.0.2, the company has fixed some issues by buffing several Aspects and behaviors of both the classes. While the Hunters haven't undergone any changes since the release of Season 17, it seems like the Titans did get stealth nerf this week in their throwing hammers.

This article lists all the changes implemented with the weekly reset on June 7.

Warlocks:

• Heat Rises added behavior: Consuming your grenade now also releases a burst of cure x2 around you, healing you and your nearby allies. Consuming a Healing Grenade increases the strength of the burst to cure x3 and consuming a Touch of Flame Healing Grenade provides Restoration as an additional benefit.
• Icarus Dash added behavior: While airborne, rapidly defeating targets with your Super or any weapon cures you.
• Celestial Fire: Each Celestial Fire projectile now applies 10 Scorch stacks. This is increased to 15 stacks with Ember of Ashes equipped.

Titans:

• Burning Maul: Buffed damage in Destiny 2 PvE by 25%.
• Roaring Flames: While Roaring Flames is active, your uncharged melee attack now deals Solar damage and applies 30 scorch stacks to targets per hit. This is increased to 40 stacks with Ember of Ashes equipped.
• Fixed an issue where the Roaring Flames Aspect wouldn't proc on some Solar grenade kills.
• Consecration: Fragment slots increased from 1 to 2.
• Raised the height of the secondary attack’s ground wave by 25% to more easily catch players who jump too late.
