Destinywill receive a game update next week, raising the Light Level to 400 and opening up more avenues for players to get higher level loot from numerous sources.
With theHeroic Mode of Wrath of the Machinelaunching next week,Destinywill receive an update to allow players to reach the next planned Light Level cap of 400. The plan forDestiny: Rise of Ironhas always been to havea two-tiered Light progression; first was the grind to 385 Light, which would prepare players for the hard mode raid, after which players would start the climb up to a new 400 Light level cap.
Update 2.4.1, as it is being called, will be pushed toDestinyon Tuesday, October 18 at 10 a.m. Pacific. The main function of the update will be to update and raise the possible Light Levels of gear from multiple sources. Here is the full list of changes:
Bungie says these changes will allow those not yet at 385 get up to that level in order to run Wrath of the Machine Heroic Mode:
For those striving to reach Heroic Wrath of the Machine or even attempt their first run at Normal Wrath of the Machine, players should find more paths and options available to them to reach the recommended Light.
Bungie says there will be more changes included in the 2.4.1 Update, but these are the major ones coming. In addition, it is likely that this year’s Festival of the Lost will also launch with the update based on Bungie’s choice of words in this tease:
There are more changes to come. Those announcements are yet to be…unmasked.[emphasis added]
Festival of the Lost,Destiny’s Halloween live event is confirmed to be coming this month, whichinvolves collecting masks. There may be some additional content coming with the event as well, as Bungie has said it hopes to gives players a little more to do this time around with Festival of the Lost.
