Destiny 2 just got a shot of adrenaline. Since launch, fans have complained that Destiny 2 felt a bit sluggish compared to the original game, and Bungie recently promised to do something about it. Today they delivered on their pledge, releasing the “Go Fast” update, which makes wide-ranging changes to Destiny 2’s core mechanics. All classes are now more agile, weapons hit harder, and supers recharge quicker.

　　The PvP Crucible mode is also receiving a variety of tweaks and updates. 6v6 PvP is returning to the Iron Banner, and the tracker has been turned off for Competitive matches, forcing players to focus more on communication and flanking. Respawns and the power ammo also come much more quickly now. You can check out a video walkthrough of the changes, below.

　　Here are the full Destiny 2 update 1.1.4 patch notes:
