The latest Destiny 2 weekly reset went live a few hours ago, and Bungie released a hotfix to patch some major bugs in the game. The hotfix 4.1.0.4 marks the fifth update in Season 17, where the company has enabled and tweaked a lot of game-breaking features.

The Anti Barrier Sidearm mod has been enabled, alongside the controversial Airborne-Effectiveness of Exotic gear. It also seems like the Titans are getting a lot of tweaks on their Roaring Flames Aspect, and Bungie might have also fixed the infinite damage phase of Gahlran inside the Duality Dungeon.

• Note: In patch 4.1.0.2, Bungie fixed an issue where Roaring Flames was not getting the intended reduced scalars while melee boosting Exotic armor or weapon perks were active. However, that change was not reflected in that release’s patch notes, so they included it here for posterity.

• Roaring Flames will grant a 10% bonus damage per stack if Synthoceps, Peregrine Greaves, Wormgod Caress, or the One-Two Punch weapon perk are active.
