Now playing: Destiny 2: Season of Ghosts – Solstice Trailer

One of the major issues that fans have discovered in the week since the event went live is that earning silver leaves from certain activities is not guaranteed. With patch 4.1.5.1, Bungie has addressed this issue and you can expect to receive some of the holiday currency after successfully completing a series of activities such as North, Blind Well and Nightmare Confinement missions.

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, encourages you to work with another guardian to deal heavy damage to an enemy. If your teammate delivers the deathblow, your hand cannon will be refilled with spare ammo without the need to reload.

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

You can read the full patch notes below.
