Destiny 2 was briefly taken offline yesterday to roll out hotfix 7.0.5.3. The latest update re-enabled Destiny 2 Vendors, Item Perks and Mods, and Subclass options for players. However, the rollout wasn’t exactly smooth, causing issues for multiple players afterward. Addressing this, Bungie took to Twitter to announce another shutdown of the servers for emergency maintenance. While the game is back, issues still persist for many. While players wait for another patch, here’s what the latest hotfix brings.

The developers are monitoring the situation regarding crashes and stability. In the meantime, Destiny 2 integration features on Bungie.net, including the API, will remain offline overnight. Destiny 2 features will also be disabled on web, mobile, and third-party apps. Players can expect another patch this week to fix these issues.
