If you’ve been having a hard time finding companions to help you through your weekly heroic strikes in Destiny, then Bungie is sending patch 1.1.1 on a mission to rescue you (and others in your situation, of course).
In this week’s update post, the team said that a major addition with 1.1.1 will be a matchmaking service for weekly heroic strikes. According to the devs, most players didn’t have enough friends to participate in them and would benefit from being automatically grouped up with strangers. This change means that the weekly heroic cannot be soloed.
Bungie has thus far resisted adding any type of matchmaking or looking for group service for its raids. Other changes coming with 1.1.1 include balance tweaks, a reputation screen, and a fix to the heavy ammo bug.
