Destiny 2 Season of Defiance got another mid-week patch with yesterday's reset, as Bungie fixed some of the vital problems in the game. Some of these changes are meant to make life easier for Guardians, as one of them involves Cabal Threshers dealing less damage to everyone. Here are the patch notes for the hotfix deployed on March 23 following the four-hour-long downtime of the official servers.

- Fixed an issue where equipping too many passive Armor Charge benefits would deactivate artifact perks.
- Changed Empowered Finish to count as a finisher mod for purposes of mutual exclusivity. This mod can no longer be equipped alongside a finisher mod that also consumes Armor Charge stacks.
- Having the ability to generate and spend Armor Charge stacks on the same mod was creating conditions where latency would sometimes cause the perks to activate in an incorrect order.
- Additionally, when combined with Stacks on Stacks, Empowering Finish was circumventing the basic Armor Charge mechanics too easily, resulting in generating too many Orbs of Power, ammo bricks, overshields, etc.
- The Untangler Artifact perk will no longer trigger melee perks.
LOCALIZATION
- Fixed the issue introduced in 7.0.0.5 that reverted Mandarin voice-over to English.

- Increased the time to give Commendations to other players after finishing certain activities.
- Moved the Legend Lost Sectors Solo and the Legend Lost Sector Solo Flawless requirements from Guardian Rank 7 to Rank 8.
- Moved the Master Lost Sectors Solo and the Master Lost Sector Solo Flawless requirements from Guardian Rank 9 to Rank 10.
- Note: Players will keep their earned progress after these Lost Sector requirements move to the higher Rank.
This was likely the last hotfix before the mid-season update.
