The online first-person shooter from Bungie - "Destiny" will be getting another update come February. The patch will address concerns about some of the game's elements and weapon adjustments.  

The update to be made known as "Destiny Hotfix 2.5.0.2," is slated to go online mid-February and as of late, Bungie has to yet to determine a definite date on when will it be released. Furthermore, the upcoming hotfix will be making tweaks on both of the game's attacks and counter-attacks within "Destiny's" Crucible player-vs-player activity, according to Bungie's website.  

The Crucible is a game mode in "Destiny" where Light levels of both newbie and tenured players are nullified. Apart from a balanced battleground, players can acquire loot items provided that they finished an event. However, the game mode can only be unlocked once the player's Guardian reaches level 5.  

Meanwhile, Bungie has set five objectives that need to be fixed by the incoming update. Such objectives are promoting other options for shotguns and ways on how to counter it. Another goal is to align the efficacy of main weapons with surgical alterations and filing down glitches from each of the class in the game. Fixing an issue with sampler platter of Exotics and adjustments to special ammo were also included in the upcoming patch's  agenda, Gamespot reported.   

Bungie's senior designer, Josh Hamrick seemed to have already expected that fans will be quite puzzled with the update's actual intent. Hence, Hamrick stated that the above-mentioned goals of the looming game tweak are not yet detailed as fans would have expected. The game designer even hinted about future updates being done via live stream where such content can be made known in real-time to players.
