Destiny 2: The Witch Queen servers down for weapon crafting hotfix

It’s been a few weeks since I last posted. Destiny 2’s new The Witch QueenBungie has fixed some issues with weapon crafting as part of its expansion. Developer Bungie plans to increase drop rates during the Wellspring Activity. More specifically, “red border,” Deepsight Resonance weapons will be more common after the update.

Players need these Deepsight Resonance versions of the Wellspring weapons to eventually craft them, and they’ve been quite rare since launch. Two of the crafted weapons — the Come to Pass auto rifle and Tarnation grenade launcher — are also required for the new Exotic glaive quest. Thursday’s hotfix solves what was a long and frustrating grind for many players.

Also, the update increases Ascendant alloy’s purchase rate. This rare and important material is essential for crafting. These materials will drop more commonly from certain activities, and Master Rahool will have a two-for-one deal in the Tower to compensate for the material’s poor drop rate the past few weeks.

At the time of writing Destiny 2Servers are unavailable and players cannot log in or play. Servers won’t be accessible until 9:00 a.m. PST/noon ET. After that, the servers will be back to normal once the updated patch has been applied. We’ll update this post with the complete patch notes once the update is up and the servers have stabilized.
