Bungie has released Destiny 2 Update 9.7.0.2, a cleanup patch that closes some of the strangest and most useful exploits players found after Monument of Triumph went live earlier this month.
The official patch notes include a fix for an issue where Crossbow bolts could displace bosses when attached to an object players could pick up and hold. Bungie's own note gives the exploit a short sendoff: "They shall yeet no more."
That line covers a bug players had been using to launch bosses out of bounds, including encounters tied to Raid and Pantheon farming. With Destiny 2 now past its final planned live-service update, fixes like this carry extra weight. Some late-game glitches may not get many more chances to be addressed.
Update 9.7.0.2 shuts down several high-impact bugs
The boss-displacement fix is the headliner, but it is only part of the patch. Bungie also fixed an Argos skip in Pantheon that could trigger the damage phase through a Joining Allies exploit, adjusted Calus challenge teleport points and fixed a Calus wipe issue that could happen after players survived his Last Stand.
Other raid fixes touch Salvation's Edge, Garden of Salvation, Vault of Glass, Crota's End and King's Fall. Dungeon fixes include tiered and un-tiered reward issues in Duality, Vesper's Host and Sundered Doctrine.
Exotic weapons also get attention. One Thousand Voices, Fafnir and Tarrabah catalysts should now progress correctly, while Truth has been pulled back from 14 maximum reserve rockets to 10. Ergo Sum, Hierarchy of Needs and Turncoat also receive targeted bug fixes.
The patch makes balance and perk changes across armor, armor set bonuses, weapons, abilities and artifacts. One notable adjustment hits the King's Fall two-piece set bonus, reducing its Special ammo progress bonus by 70% and its Heavy ammo progress bonus by 75% because Bungie said the perk was significantly overperforming.
Destiny 2 is moving into a narrower support phase
Monument of Triumph launched on June 9 as Update 9.7.0, bringing back Pantheon and Sparrow Racing League while turning Destiny 2 toward a long-term playable archive. Bungie Help has described it as the game's final planned live-service content update, though Destiny 2 itself remains playable.
That context is why Update 9.7.0.2 feels different from a normal hotfix. It is less about setting up the next season and more about stabilizing the game players will be left with after active content development winds down.
Bungie has also been working through a difficult transition. Recent reporting and prior Gamers Now coverage have tracked how the studio weighed larger Destiny plans before ending Destiny 2 support, with no announced Destiny 3 project replacing it.
Update 9.7.0.2 does not change that wider direction. It does give returning players a cleaner version of Monument of Triumph, with fewer broken catalysts, fewer raid shortcuts and one less way to send a boss flying off the map.
