Destiny 2 Patch 9.0.0.7 Notes – August 19, 2025
Destiny 2 Patch 9.0.0.7 Summary
-
Fixed Starfire Protocol to properly return 5% energy on empowered hits.
-
Resolved Strangelet Capsules campaign progression bug.
-
Adjusted Reclamation Culmination Challenge requirements for completion before Ash & Iron launch.
-
Known issues with exotic armor remain under investigation, with fixes scheduled for upcoming updates.
Activities
The Edge of Fate
- Fixed an issue where “Kepler Gear” continued to display as a reward in the activity tooltip for Kepler weekly missions after first completion.
- Actual rewards from the weekly missions have not changed.
- Both weekly missions still drop a high-tier piece of Kepler gear once per week on first completion; this is unchanged.
- The Time Latch Missions playlist is the best activity to get random higher-tier Kepler gear, or The Sieve when it’s active.
- Fixed a rare issue where players could become blocked from progressing The Edge of Fate campaign.
The Portal
- Fixed an issue where the opening objective in the Caldera Solo Ops activity could be partially skipped.
- Both the Vex shield cubes and the dark matter mounds must now be destroyed to progress.
UI/UX
- The Solo Ops playlist now allows players to Return to Orbit after completion, without forcing them to start a new activity.
- We’ve adjusted the thresholds for when combatants and activities visually display if they are “hard” or “very hard” to better align with changes to the sandbox in The Edge of Fate and more accurately communicate difficulty to players.
- Bumped the threshold for “hard” (sword icons) by 20 Power: Combatants will now display sword icons in their nameplates when they are 30 Power above you.
- Bumped the threshold for “very hard” (skull icons) by 10 Power. Combatants will now display skull icons in their nameplates when they are 50 Power above you.
- Please note, this is a purely visual change and combatant difficulty relative to player Power has not been changed at this time.
Gameplay and Investment

Warlock
Starfire Protocol

General
- Removed audio feedback from the Solstice Lustrous armor set two-piece perk (Photogalvanic) to prevent it from playing repeatedly.
- Fixed an issue where the Slow and Small modifier would occasionally cause audio problems.
- Fixed an issue where shield charging sounds would occasionally get stuck while the Brawn modifier was active.
