Destiny's 1.1.1 patch is finally launching tonight, Bungie has confirmed via Twitter. As such, Guardians may be kicked from their current games, or may experience some technical hiccups.

As for the update itself, it primarily focuses on weapon balancing. Underused for good reason, Pulse Rifles are receiving a pretty meaty 9.7 per cent base damage buff, while other weapon types are being scaled back. For instance, Auto Rifles are having their effective range cut down, while Fusion Rifles now have a bigger spread, making them less accurate. Shotguns should also prove to be more effective during tougher activities, as they've been gifted a rather whopping 100 per cent damage boost against anything that isn't another player.

On top of all this, the patch fixes numerous smaller issues, like the now infamous heavy ammo bug. You can peruse the vast amount of changes by clicking through here.
