Bungie patches Destiny, Cryptarch now feeling more generous

The 1.0.2 patch has reached Destiny, making the open-world shooter far more likely to reward players with useful loot instead of green trash that will immediately be smashed into glowing bits of Glimmer.

We covered the additions included in 1.0.2 last week, but to reiterate, the Cryptarch is now guaranteed to award players a Legendary item when presented with a Legendary engram. Likewise, Rare engrams will always produce a Rare item, though the likelihood that they might instead produce a Legendary item has been increased. Additionally, Bungie has added the possibility that Rare and Legendary items might be awarded for completing both Daily and Weekly Heroic Missions as well as the Vanguard: Tiger Strike playlist.

As with all Destiny patches, the update is free of charge. For full details on the patch visit Bungie's blog.
