Destiny Wrath of the Machine heroic mode pushed back for update 2.4.1

The Wrath of the Machine heroic mode for Destiny will be delayed slightly next week due to update 2.4.1. A new release time has been set.

The latest raid to hit Bungie’s shooter was expected to launch on the morning of October 18 (10am Pacific), but the new update will launch first with the release of Heroic Mode later in the day at 2pm Pacific.

Patch 2.4.1 will now be available to download at 10am Pacific, and during that time anyone playing Destiny on PS4 may be returned to the title screen and see the error code CAT, while the game updates.

Though Guardians can expect much more from the refresh, here’s some of the changes:

  • Increased light level to 400
  • Enjoy light rewards up to 400 from Nightfall, Exotic Engrams, Strike Hoards, Iron Banner, Crucible and Trials of Osiris
  • Archon’s Forge, the Heroic SIVA Strike playlist, and Legendary Engrams will now provide rewards up to 385 Light
  • Get rare engram drops up to 365 light level
  • Change from recommended light level for Nightfall to 385 light
  • Better light level rewards in Wrath of the Machine, Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner
  • Ghosts and Artifacts added to Archon’s Forge for completion rewards, with up to 400 light level

There’s currently no details on what’s been added to the Wrath of the Machine heroic mode, though we expect you’ll have to be a higher light level than previously.
