Destiny 2 update 1.2.0 kicks off Season 3 of Bungie’s troubled shooter

Destiny 2 has officially kicked off Season 3 of the shared-world shooter, with update 1.2.0 and the all-new Warmind expansion now available to tuck into.

This is a pretty major milestone for the alien-shooting spectacle, as the patch introduces a number of key sandbox changes. That's basically a fancy term for Bungie tweaking a bunch of stats for weapons and abilities, as well splattering a few bugs regarding Destiny 2's Raid and Strikes. 

Meanwhile, the Crucible has also seen a lot of attention with update 1.2.0, with private matches now available to all Guardians, while a ranking system and fireteam matchmaking system are also doing the rounds. In addition, maps from Curse of Osiris and Warmind can be enjoyed by everyone in matchmade Crucible playlists.

Warmind is obviously a major new attraction, and with it comes the ability to hit level 30 and power level 385, while Exotic weapons have received a lot of chopping and changing. Meanwhile, vault space has also been buffed (finally), while the Heroic Strike playlist now features rotating modifiers. 

Oh, and the multi-emote is now available for those who are bored with the usual array of taunts. Be sure to gobble down the whole patch notes on Bungie's official website, and watch a launch trailer for Destiny 2 Warmind below.

Oh, and don't believe the moaners; Destiny 2 is actually a pretty solid shooter, despite the inevitable grind.
