Bungie has again released a new patch which applies numerous tweaks the gameplay, along with closing a loot cave and removing a trick that grants easy progress in the Vault of Glass raid. Bungie has also said that it is working on a future update that "will address under-performing Exotics and overall class balance". You can check out the full list below.
Summary
The most recent hotfix (1.0.2.2) for Destiny goes live on October 14th. This hotfix includes a number of changes to weapon balance across archetypes (e.g., lowering Auto Rifle effectiveness and increasing Scout Rifle damage output), specific weapons (Vex Mythoclast and Pocket Infinity) and includes a number of fixes to issues with the Templar encounter in the Vault of Glass.
We're still working on a larger update which will address under-performing Exotics and overall class balance.
