  • Fixed an issue where newly acquired Warlock and Titan Reverie Dawn armor did not have the Riven’s Curse mod equipped.

Healing Rift and Empowering Rift

  • Fixed an issue where the Rift would sometimes fail to spawn when the Warlock was throttling toward certain objects.

Chaos Accelerant Aspect

  • The Wanderer Tangles no longer deal less damage than base Tangles.

Weavewalk Aspect

  • Players can no longer use melee to cancel the Weavewalk exit animation.

  • Fixed an issue where the Graviton Forfeit Exotic helmet could not be focused at Master Rahool.

Gameplay Modifiers

UI/UX

  • Fixed an issue where the preview for Vanguard Armory items did not show 11 total energy or a mod tuning slot.
