Destiny‘s Update 1.1.1 is upon us as the patch is now being deployed across all platforms.

According to developer Bungie, users will be kicked from activities and will be required to download the new update as it rolls out. It will be available to others upon logging in later today.

A lot was stuffed into this one, including major tweaks to Destiny’s weapons, a fix for the infamous heavy ammo bug, highly requested activity updates, and much more. Unfortunately, fans of the Vex Mythoclast might notice a bug that Bungie says managed to slip in, which the studio aim’s to address as quickly as possible.

Read on to find out what’s new in Destiny 1.1.1 and be sure do drop your thoughts on the new changes in the comments below.
