Update 2.1.4 has a lot of different fixes in it, but the crux of it will be buffing a large amount of Supers to make them more powerful.

What\u2019s the best mode for showcasing Supers? Mayhem! We\u2019re turning up the recharge rates to 11, so pick your space magic of choice and start melting faces.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Mayhem!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Begins: January 29, 2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Ends: February 05, 2019<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As you battle it out amidst the chaos, please remember that the Crucible is not liable for injuries sustained therein.<\/p>\n<h2>Crimson Days<\/h2>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bungie.net\/pubassets\/pkgs\/120\/120221\/Crimson.jpg?cv=3983621215&amp;av=4120723347\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Crimson Days is coming soon. It was originally scheduled to start on February 5. That date is being shifted slightly. Grab your partner and get ready for action and rewards.<\/p>\n<p><b>Crimson Days<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Begins: February 12, 2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Ends: February 19, 2019\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you missed out on Crimsons Days last year, or didn\u2019t get everything you wanted, you\u2019re in luck. This is your chance to get the rewards exclusive to this event. The event is very similar to last year, but we have added a few new rewards and ways of obtaining them. We\u2019ll give you the full details closer to the special day.<\/p>\n<h2>Cleaning House<\/h2>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bungie.net\/pubassets\/pkgs\/120\/120221\/SB.jpg?cv=3983621215&amp;av=4120723347\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Starting with Season of the Drifter, we\u2019re making a slight change to the way bounties grant powerful rewards. To ensure an even playing field each time we kick off a new season, bounties acquired during previous seasons will have a maximum possible power reward. This change is intended to prevent players from feeling the need to hoard bounties and raid keys that grant powerful rewards until the Power cap is raised in an attempt to get a leg up in the push toward the new Power cap.<\/p>\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>A player has completed the \u201cWANTED: SILENT FANG\u201d bounty during the Season of the Forge, but has not yet claimed the reward.<\/li>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If they claim this reward after the Season of the Drifter has begun, the reward will have a maximum Power of 650.<\/li>\n<li>If they instead acquire this bounty after the Season of the Drifter has already begun, the reward will have a maximum Power of 700.<\/li>\n<li>The cap is applied to bounties on acquisition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>NOTE<\/b>: Completed bounties have no mechanism to \u201cdismantle,\u201d so keeping completed bounties could negatively affect players for the first week of a new season. By holding on to the old bounties, this locks players out of an \u201cuncapped\u201d bounty that could become available with the start of a new season.<\/p>\n<p>We strongly recommend either completing or discarding any powerful rewards bounties before the new season begins. Completing these bounties after the season changes could result in missing out on the new season\u2019s version of the bounty with the higher Power cap.<\/p>\n<p>We are also looking to address stockpiles of Raid Keys as well. We are currently finalizing details, and will give additional information when available.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Preview<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve talked about a lot of changes coming next Tuesday in 2.1.4, but we have a few more you may not know about yet.
