The patch notes are way too long to add to this article so I encourage you to check out the full patch notes on the Bungie site HERE - it's going to take me several read throughs to fully grasp all the changes.

Another change with the update is that the Whisper quest is now available anytime in Lost Oasis (Io) and can be activated from any Public Event.

Here’s your reset activities for the week of January 29nd - February 5th

Raids

You can now find the Leviathan Raids by clicking Nessus in the director. There is conflicting information from different APIs regarding the Leviathan raid and the director no longer says what the challenge mode is. The API has been wonky since Foresaken launched. Hopefully, Bungie will fix this soon.
