Hopefully you've already updated, but if you haven't, Update 2.0.1 has arrived in Destiny. The update brings a lot of changes and additions. For one, Tess Everis has returned and is now back at her station in the Tower, bringing with her the new in-game currency, Silver. With that Silver, you will be able to buy new Emotes via microtransactions.
A big nerf happened to Shotguns, removing the "Shot Package" perks. And in addition to a ton of fixes, The Iron Banner returns and Trials of Osiris will be enabled for this weekend. To read the complete patch notes, look below!
