Destiny 2 update 1.6 due next week, read the patch notes preview

Bungie has previewed Destiny 2 update 1.6 ahead of its release next week, confirming a number of key changes for its science-fiction shooter.

This latest title update for the shared-world shooter will apply a number bug fixes, chiefly related to the Bureaucratic Walk emote. 

As you may recall, a glitch pertaining to this emote allow gamers to find their way into previously inaccessible areas. It was enough of a major reason for Bungie to cancel the Trials of the Nine for two weeks and pull the emote from sale.

Elsewhere, Destiny update 1.6 also applies a number of key tweaks for the Crucible. 

Read a preview of the Destiny 1.6 patch notes below. Note that this is not the complete list of change; Bungie has said more will be confirmed once the update hits early next week.
