Destiny 2's developer implemented a new update to the game, making some changes to weapon swapping and bringing more than a few fixes. This new Destiny 2 update implemented many fixes to some activities, and it also added a few balance changes improving the overall experience.

Destiny 2 was released in 2017, and since then, Bungie has managed to gather and maintain a healthy player base that still enjoys the game and the downloadable content released since its launch. Destiny 2 offers players plenty of activities, PvE and PvP encounters, in-game events, and rare items, following the steps of its predecessor while improving and adding more depth to the game. Recently, Destiny 2 players made a demand to developers, asking for something players have waited for from the game. Many players are not happy with the current state of Gambit, Playlist Strikes, and Ritual Armor, and gamers shared their opinions on the matter in the game's subreddit.

On June 1, Destiny 2's developer released update 7.1.0.1 and its patch notes, detailing all the fixes and changes implemented in the update. One of the most impressive changes in the update patch notes is related to weapon swapping. This a matter Bungie touched on in a previous Destiny 2 update. After this update, Destiny 2 players will need to wait for a second when changing weapons before they can shoot their weapons, a reduction when comparing it to the two-second window they had to deal with before this update.

In some instances, Destiny 2 players deal with annoying bugs in their play sessions, and luckily, Destiny 2's developer has implemented several new bug fixes to the game. Specifically, some of these deal with activities like The Crucible, Salvage, and even Guardian Ranks.

On the Destiny 2 subreddit, many fans are still reacting to these changes. For most gamers, the patch notes may seem short on alterations and additions to the game. Major Destiny 2 updates usually bring back a substantial portion of a game's player base. However, it will be interesting to see if the minor changes and additions applied in this most recent patch will be enough to persuade some gamers and bring them back to the game.
