The Festival of the Lost event is live now in Destiny 2, alongside other features from the weekly reset. The Halloween event allows players to run a special instance called Haunted Sectors, exclusive to the event. Aside from new weapons and armor pieces, Bungie has allowed the community to farm for Exotic Class Items in exchange for event currencies such as candies and Eerie Engram.
Amid all these updates, Update 8.1.0.3 brought a few fixes to some of the game's recurring issues, alongside the major additions within the event, such as reprised perks on older weapons and a new Shotgun archetype.
