Destiny: Rising is undergoing server maintenance on January 15 to roll out a substantial content drop, including the return of elite endgame challenges and a legendary Exotic weapon forge.
The headline for this update is the Instantaneous Flash Event, which finally gives us a path to forge the Jade Rabbit. This Exotic Scout Rifle is a staple for players who value precision, and you can secure it by collecting Exotic Ingots through your Daily Quests. If you've been looking to upgrade your long-range meta, this is your priority for the next few weeks.
For the competitive crowd, Morgran's Hunt kicks off on January 16. This isn't just another grind; it features a leaderboard system with specific score goals that reward Exotic weapon drops. It’s a perfect opportunity to test your builds in a high-stakes environment where efficiency and accuracy actually move the needle on your rewards.
The Return of Another Calamity
High-level fireteams have a permanent new home with the return of Another Calamity. Restricted to players Level 71 and above, this activity is strictly for pre-made fireteams. The draw here is the Pinnacle Rewards, which remain the most reliable way to push your Power level toward the current ceiling. It’s good to see NetEase leaning back into the difficult, team-oriented content that defines the Lightbearer experience.
The update also brings some style to the shop and a minor but welcome polish to gameplay:
- New Store Items: The Mythic Arbalest Ornament 'Front-runner' and the 'Strange Brew' emote are now available.
- Character Polish: Maru’s mid-ability jumping animation has been improved for better fluidity during combat.
- Maintenance Compensation: Check your mail for 200 Lumia Leaves once the three-hour downtime concludes.
Whether you're chasing the Jade Rabbit or diving back into the chaos of Another Calamity, this patch reinforces the early-age struggle of the Iron Lords with meaningful progression and tougher threats.
