　　After announcing it last week, Bungie today deployed patch 1.0.2 for Destiny on all platforms. The patch addresses a number of game issues, and makes major changes to Engrams.

　　"With this patch, we address some widely discussed concerns with how Engrams are earned and claimed," Bungie writes on its website. "Strikes have become more rewarding, and the rewards gained from them are more predictable. Also affected is the rotation of maps that appear in the Crucible."

　　You can see the full Destiny patch notes below. Since Destiny's launch on September 9, the developer has supported the game with frequent, and at times significant, updates. Last week, the developer shut down a "loot cave," though fans quickly found another.

　　In announcing the release of the latest Destiny patch today, publisher Activision said Bungie will continue to deliver updates to the game as time goes on. "The Destiny community is vital to the process of growing this universe," the company said.

　　In addition to regular updates, Bungie is working on (at least) two major expansions for Destiny, the first of which is called The Dark Below; it launches in December. Players recently uncovered some of Bungie's post-release plans for Destiny, but the developer was quick to address this leak.

Destiny patch 1.0.2:

　　Legendary (purple) engrams will always produce a Legendary quality item or higher

　　Note: Legendary engrams that exist in your inventory will change to Rare quality items when the patch is applied. However, decoding these engrams will still produce the same results as beforeRare (blue) engrams will always produce a Rare quality item or higher

　　Chance for Legendary gear increasedMaterials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality)Crucible:
