Destiny 2 Update 8.0.0.8 full patch notes: Still Hunt x Celestial Nighthawk nerf, triumph fixes, and more 

A new Destiny 2 weekly reset means new patches to the game's core bugs, alongside updates to some of the long-standing exploits. These updates that arrive during the reset can be expected to completely change the meta in the coming time. One primary example of such changes comes in the form of a fix that might change a class' usage rate in endgame activities.

Celestial Nighthawk and Still Hunt have been a pairing that the majority of the community has been exploiting ever since The Final Shape's launch. The damage output with this Exotic combination reached a ridiculous ceiling, one that led to a single player completing one of the toughest DPS checks in the game, which is The Witness' last-stand phase.

However, with the change applied with Update 8.0.0.8, aside from the usage rate of Still Hunt, players might also see a dip in the graph of Hunters in endgame activities. This article lists all the official patch notes released alongside the July 23 weekly reset in Destiny 2.
