The brief
Bungie has released its last hotfix for *Destiny 2*, permanently disabling the **Divinity** exotic weapon in all activities and removing two armor sets (**Exo Stranger** and **Voidwalker**) from the game. The update follows a critical gameplay imbalance tied to the **Divinity** exploit, which allowed players to bypass intended difficulty in high-level content.
Coverage from **OpenCritic, MSN, and Forbes** highlights this as a definitive shift, with **Analytics Insight** framing it as an emergency correction to stabilize endgame progression. Outlets like **Forbes** note the move could presage broader changes, while **OpenCritic** emphasizes the removal of armor sets as a rare permanent alteration to player gear.
Speculation about a potential *Destiny 3* tease remains unfounded, with no developer statements confirming future plans. Players should monitor **Bungie’s official channels** for confirmation on whether this hotfix is part of a larger end-of-life process or a standalone correction.
