Bungie has already done well to detail today’s Destiny update, which adds some much-needed features. It’s going to be a gradual rollout, though, so Destiny players are encouraged to wait patiently if the download doesn’t begin right away.

As far as what the update comes with, it’s quite the doozy. For starters, Destiny update 1.1.2 will increase player’s vault space substantially, giving them extra slots for armor, weapons, and consumables. This particular improvement couldn’t have come at a better time, as House of Wolves is set to introduce a whole new set of gear into the fold. Not to mention, the Trials of Osiris Crucible event will carry it’s own set of gear, including the Fate of all Fools scout rifle.

The update also includes some pretty handy, but ultimately small picture, changes like the ability to lock exotics, a toggle for chat and game audio control, and new physics and color schemes for the purple ball in the Tower. It’s nothing too mind blowing, but we’re sure plenty will appreciate the exotic locks and audio controls, even if they are a little late.

We should also mention that Destiny is finally getting colorblind support, which, again, is something it should have had from the get-go. Now visually impaired players will be able to better discern the different types of weapon drops in the game, among other things.

On the gameplay side, Bungie has addressed a few more troublesome issues with the Destiny raids, Vault of Glass and Crota’s End. Again, it may be a little too late for some, as many have hit level 32 and collected all the gear, but at the very least it’s nice to see the final boss encounters will be more agreeable.

Similarly, the Valus Ta’Aruc fight has been toned down in the Cerebus Vae III strike in an effort to make it less time-consuming. With players running strikes numerous times a week, maybe even within a day, Bungie saw that certain strikes were less popular than others, but they hope to correct that with this update.

Here’s the full list of patch notes:

Ultimately, the Destiny patch should do well to convince players that Bungie is listening to their requests. Key changes and additions will also make the experience smoother and less prone to headache, especially for players trying to solo Crota’s End.

However, we can’t help but wonder what impact an update like this has on the Destiny players who’ve started to move away from the game. Will this be enough to convince them to come back?
