New Destiny Update Changes Engram Drops, Silver Dust Economy And More

Bungie has released a new update for their first-person shooter, Destiny. The update made a few tweaks to the Silver Dust economy and the SIVA Key Fragment drops in the Wrath of the Machine raid.

With update 2.4.1.1, Bungie intends to improve the ‘quality of life in Destiny: Rise of Iron’. A change that the update introduces is that now, armor obtained from decrypting Dust Iron Engrams, which can be purchased from Lord Saladin, will convert into Silver Dust when you dismantle them.So you will not get Silver Dust instead of Legendary Marks.

Another welcomed change related to the Silver Dust is that now players do not require Silver Dust to apply ornaments to their Trials of Osiris, Iron Lord and Wrath of the Machine Heroic mode armor.

Bungie also made changes to the engrams. Previously, engrams did not drops any Vanguard or Crucible weapons, however, now engrams have a chance of dropping Vanguard or Crucible weapons. The Skeleton Key drop rate from the Taken Archon Priest in the Winter’s Run strike has also been change. Bungie stated that the strike was not dropping Skeleton Keys “at the intended rate.” That issue has been fixed and Skeleton Keys will drop more frequently. The update also increases the drops of SIVA Key Fragments from the Wrath of the Machine raid, and a glitch on the Crucible map ‘Skyline’ have also been fixed.
