Destiny Players to Get Increased Max Light Before Heroic Mode


Hardcore Destiny players can look forward to a new hard mode version for Wrath of the Machine, also known as the Heroic Mode.

To make this run even more amazing and worth the effort, developer Bungie has confirmed that it will bring greater reward given the bigger risk with Heroic Mode. Detailed over the Bungie Weekly Update, the developer shared that the team had use the month to study how the players progressed with the new addition, hence the new update that the team prepared.

The Destiny update, dubbed 2.4.1, will be rolled out to bring the Light Cap up to 400 to match the Light Level for decrypted exotics and rewards. The change here also affects reward sources, which will see an increase in maximum Light.

Among those that will give 400 Light rewards include Strike Hoards Nightfall, Exotic Engrams, Trials of Osiris, Crucible, and Iron Banner. For Archon's Forge, the Heroic SVA Strike playlist, and Legendary Engrams, these can reward up to 385 Light.

"For players forging their path through Wrath of the Machine, Trials of Osiris, and Iron Banner, these activities will now attempt to reward higher Light on average, compared to your current Light. Artifacts and Ghosts were dropping from fewer sources than intended and have been added as Archon's Forge completion rewards."

The newest Destiny update is set to deploy on Oct. 18, 10:00 a.m. Heroic Mode for Wrath of the Machine will start some hours after at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time, to ensure that Guardians are able to download the update.
