Jun 08, 2023

You've got to pick up every stitch. Oh no, must be the season of the witch

It’s finally here! The big update, with all those juicy, juicy weapon tweaks. So, let’s celebrate a new (Hive-themed) season of Destiny 2 with the Season of the Witch. Here’s the August 22 patch notes for Destiny 2, fully listed.

It feels like we’ve been waiting years for this update! Not only do we get some pretty significant weapon updates (hand cannons are finally viable? A Dawning miracle), we’ve got a host of new activities and Ritual Vendor Challenges now reward pinnacles. I may finally do a Strike for the first time in three years.

Let’s dive right into the meat of it. Here’s the Season of the Witch patch notes.
