Destiny Datamined Patch Shows Halloween Event Hints


Apart from Christmas, Halloween may be one of the bigger seasonal events for games. Overwatch players already has its confirmed Halloween event.

But for Destiny players, the only hint of a Festival of the Lost repeat for this year is through datamined files. One fan over at Reddit has compiled everything, from a nonsense song to the collection of masks and vault items.

According to the Reddit OP, it appears that the Festival this year will work similarly as last year, save a few changes. The setting will now be in the Tower and Felwinter Peak. New masks are available for the event, some of which will be required to complete quests. Destiny players who collect items may want to know that while Legendaries will last beyond the Festival of the Lost 2016 event, the Rare ones won't.

The datamined details come from the latest patch released by Bungie. The Destiny dev team had detailed this over the official Bungie website. Though the patch notes did not reveal any of the Halloween activities mentioned above, there are some notable changes that players may want to play around with before the Halloween event commences.

Developer Bungie has also announced that the new patch will increase the maximum Light Level of Engrams. This comes together with the Heroic Mode, which means that players may want to save Engrams for now.

The goal of the patch had been to change the upgrade economy of the game, following changes in the loot and levels obtainable in some of Destiny's activities.

Basically, some activities like Wrath of the Machine, Trials of Osiris, and Iron Banner will now drop higher Light items. Packages from the Vanguard, Crucible, and Faction will drop up to 390 Light. Finally, the decrypt values for Rare, Legendary, and Exotic Engrams have been increased to 365, 385, and 400 Light respectively.

Destiny Heroic Mode is already available, with the newest raid already completed on hard mode by an intense fireteam, Die Busfahrer.
