It's fair to say that Destiny has dropped off for many players with the release of blockbusters like Star Wars: Battlefront and Fallout 4 invading their free time, but with the Bungie confirming that December's big patch is hitting next week, we're sure that the release will once again see a spike in active users.
As previously reported, the upcoming update will make numerous changes to the title's weapon balance, nerfing the now dominant pulse rifles and buffing gun types such as auto rifles, fusion rifles, and side arms. What's more, patch 2.1.0 will also be throwing fresh exotics into the mix; some are brand new, while others are being promoted from year one. Who's ready for the glorious return of the Mida Multi-tool, then?
Meanwhile, at some point later today, the developer will be detailing the changes that it's making to the Titan subclasses. These alterations are supposedly being made due to the Sunbreaker's super dominance in competitive multiplayer, but Bungie will also be tweaking Defenders and Strikers, too.
Finally, vendors will be accepting various new material donations in order to increase your standing with their faction, which sounds like a welcome change. Will you be diving into Destiny when this update releases? Gather a raiding party in the comments section below.

Finally! Those Titans are so overpowered!
Glad the Multi-Tool is back for year 2. I've been a bit distracted with other games this past month or so but I'll be giving this update a look. Some expansions would be nice, role on PSE!
Personally I think the game has steadily dropped off over the last month partly because of the new releases and partly because a lack of meaningful content. Most of the more hardcore and regular players have completed everything the Taken King has to offer and getting fed up with beating the Raid only to get gear that's below their current equipped light level (or no gear at all).
I can't say I am particularly impressed by Bungies choice of weapons to bring forward. Most of them are the worst exotics of yr1 and I can't see that changing for yr2. Mida is the best of them but even that is quite average - specifically for PvE. I can't see it competing with Hung Jury or Tlaloc for Warlocks - at least Hung Jury allows you take an Exotic in another slot too.
I admit some of the Armour makes a welcome return but its hardly worth jumping back into Destiny for - especially if you can buy most of them if you own yr1 versions.
I really think they ought to have brought back the Raid/PoE exotics - at the very least it would give many a reason to play these in this 'lull' and for those that grinded many hours to get them, the return of a worthwhile reward.
