Destiny 2 Update 9.0.0.8 Patch Notes
Activities
Kepler
- Fixed an issue sometimes leading to URCHIN errors when launching the Kepler Weekly Missions.
- These should now properly tell you when someone in your fireteam has a full Strangelet capsule. These need to be integrated at the Altar of Relativity before being able to enter another Strangelet mission of the same difficulty.
Crucible
- Fixed an issue where a character who completed a Lighthouse passage would not receive rewards from the Lighthouse chest if an alternate character tried to claim rewards first without having a passage in their inventory.
- Access to the Lighthouse, and rewards from the Lighthouse chest, are now account-scoped.
- If one character completes a Lighthouse passage, another character can purchase a separate Lighthouse passage at Saint and go to the Lighthouse to open the chest in place of the first character.
- Once a character goes to the Lighthouse, access will reset for all characters until the player completes another passage with seven wins on any character.
- Fixed an issue where old Trials passages were not being deleted on characters after weekly reset.
Portal
- Increased Matchmade Fireteam Ops time limits across the board.
- Expert +25%
- Master +50%

- Fixed an issue causing bright engram XP gains to erroneously appear in the loot stream after reaching Reward Pass Rank 100.
- XP earned has not changed, this is a purely visual adjustment to reduce UI clutter.
Gameplay and Investment
