Today's patch includes the long-awaited arrival of Exotics weapon buffs, additional acquisition paths for destination upgrade materials, along with additional changes to exotic gear node upgrading in preparation for the soon-to-be-released expansion, The Dark Below. We're also correcting issues induced by our more recent update to the Raid.
A lot of information in this update, everything is in spoilers to make it easier to read the parts that matter to you
Weapons
Exotics
Exotic Weapons are designed to look, feel, and sound overpowered. At the same time, they are not supposed to break the balance of the game. We hope these weapons challenge the way players think about their loadouts. Exotics will be a constant work in-progress!
General
Thorn
Bad Juju
Hard Light
Suros Regime
Monte Carlo
MIDA Multi-Tool
Hawkmoon
Red Death
Plan C
Pocket Infinity
Vex Mythoclast
Invective
Ice Breaker
Patience and Time
Super Good Advice
Truth
Activities

Took them long enough to buff those weapons. We'll see if the Mythoclast is of any use in the next raid. I love the fact that you can now buy upgrade materials though. I've bought hundreds using all 3 characters. Finally, the mindless material farming days are over.

I HAVE recieved the update but the Truth's magazine size is still 2 for me (It was 2 before the update), not 3. Don't know if its a typo or if this part of the update was for Playstation.
Otherwise, this has proved very useful. Thanks!
Edit
Also, I'm glad to here they finally fixed this. Doing the hard raid was extremely difficult when someone would die and only two people get teleported. Hopefully this part of the update includes getting detained and teleported (detained seconds before getting teleported leading to certain death).
