Now playing: Destiny 2: Season of the Haunted – Solstice Trailer

One of the most prominent issues that fans have discovered in the week since the event went live is that certain activities are not guaranteed to earn Silver Leaves. With patch 4.1.5.1, Bungie has fixed this issue and you can expect to get some of the celebratory currency once you’ve successfully completed a series of activities such as the Sever quests, the Blind Well, and the Nightmare Containment.

One of the other big fixes this week is for the Seasonal Hand Cannon, which was completely broken when players first got their hands on it. Something New’s key perk, Dreamwork, encouraged you to work with another Guardian to deal massive damage to an enemy. If your teammate delivered the death blow, your hand cannon would refill with spare ammo without you having to reload.

The problem here was that the Dreamwork advantage applied to your Guardian’s other weapons, regularly filling magazines. Players had fun with this, and it wasn’t uncommon to see rocket launchers fire two explosive projectiles before a reload was necessary.

You can read the full patch notes below.
