Bungie's well-received first person shooter video game, Destiny, has received the latest hotfix 1.2.0.3 aimed to make changes on Prison of Elders and adjust Level 35 Skolas Challenge among other improvements. Also, fans can look forward to the title's next major DLC, The Taken King, set to release in September.

On its official website, the game developer has released the full patch notes for the latest Destiny hotfix 1.2.0.3 which are given below:

Perks

'Ashes to Assets' and 'Quintessence Transfer' can now no longer be stacked (they now have cool-downs that can only be used every 10 seconds)

Prison of Elders

Fixed a bug where players cannot pick up a quest from Variks to continue the Elder Cipher chain
Adjusted difficulty of Level 35 Skolas Challenge Mode

Burn Skulls are now replaced by non-elemental skulls
Skolas' health reduced (from 27000 to 15000) to compensate for lack of burn skulls
Reinforcement spawns are now based on Skolas' health instead of a timer

The bug found in Prison of Elders is now removed and players can now opt for a quest from Variks to proceed with the Elder Cipher chain. Apparently, Bungie has also dramatically decreased the health of the boss and made the waves of enemies easier to detect.

The hotfix 1.2.0.3 only offers small changes directed to remedy problems evident in Prison of Elders and Perks, particularly, to the core mechanics of the shooter. Although, It is assumed that Destiny will get bigger update that will be launched this summer.

Reportedly, Bungie is putting its resources and ample amount of effort in the development of the the upcoming second DLC for Destiny, The Taken King, which is already announced to launch in September this year.

Based on the recent leaks making the rounds online, the second DLC will introduce totally fresh set of levels to discover and new key feature for gamers. This reported expansion will be bringin in subclasses for their characters so as to create more uniqueness in combat. It is also said to feature Echo Chamber coop strike.

This hotfix 1.2.0.3 is now live and downloadable to enhance the fan's gaming experience. Destiny The Taken King DLC, on the other hand, will become available this September on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
