It`s a big day for Destiny 2, as Bungie is releasing a significant update alongside the launch of two events: Iron Banner and Festival of the Lost. In terms of the update, it introduces a variety of welcome changes and fixes, and it`s good news for scout rifle users, Iron Banner fans, and players who are sick of Edge Transit.

Just be aware of how these are added to your Collection: simply obtaining a ship with a new transmat effect won`t do the trick. You`ll need to actually get the transmat effect in your inventory for it to unlock. Additionally, the Collection is now home to Ghosts tied to events, Forsaken emblem va ...
