Destiny 2 update 3.0.2 patch notes – so long, Shatterdive

Update 3.0.2 is rolling out for Destiny 2, which means and update will be making it’s way to your gaming platform of choice very soon. The update is the usual list of fixes, with lots of balancing around elements of the Stasis subclass that have been causing some consternation for players lately.

Shatterdive, the nutty ability that allows you to one-shot bonk other players in Crucible has been tamed. The damage it does to unfrozen targets has been reduced, the max range has been gutted, and the damage reduction you benefit from while doing it has also been nerfed. Has it been gutted in the same way as the Warlock Stasis melee? It is impossible to know until we get into the game when the servers come back up.

For now, you can find the full patch notes below, so that will give you something to read while you wait for Destiny 2 to come back online.
