Hello, Guardians.

[flat arrow]

Hey everyone. We've heard feedback about certain frustrating elements in Breach Executable, and we have a couple of changes planned for next week's update to improve the experience.

First off, some enemies were hitting a little too hard—particularly those affected by both Void Threat and Air Superiority/Blasts. We want to keep a bit of variety in our modifiers, so because Void Threat is constantly applied we're removing it from Expert Breach Executable.

We will also be improving the hunt for Planetary Pistons and Radiolite samples with several changes:

💠 Guardians will always be able to find two Pistons in each run of Breach Executable
💠 Piston waypoint range is increased for easier visibility
💠 The delay before being teleported to join allies in the next encounter has been increased. This means you can continue to extract samples when your teammates push ahead.
💠 Extracting Radiolite samples is now instant, so you can get back into the action faster.

We have also investigated the reports of Guardians being unable to find specimen NES003 and start the research quest for the Week 4 Seasonal Challenge 'Research and Development III.

This specimen was originally intended to be found during Week 4. However, this issue will be resolved at the next weekly reset.

[flat arrow]

Thanks for the feedback concerning our new Iron Banner schedule. To be transparent, this is a sort of experiment as we feel out the new Episode/Act structure.

Under this new cadence of Iron Banner appearing for two weeks in a row, Trials of Osiris will experience fewer interruptions over the course of the Act. In the past, Iron Banner would appear once every few weeks.

Now, Trials of Osiris will be available for 7 to 8 weekends in a row before the next Iron Banner week begins. You will still have the same amount of Trials/Iron Banner to play, this is just a change to how things are scheduled.

We'll be watching feedback as things go live!

[flat arrow]

Facet of Hope is not currently working as intended and we have a fix scheduled for July 2 that will address the inconsistency in its performance. First, we are fixing the issue causing Facet of Hope to not work with Amplified as intended.

Second, we will be fixing and issue causing Facet of Hope to stop working when a buff with a shorter timer ends even if you have a second eligible buff still active.

Finally, we wanted to take the chance to clarify how Facet of Hope works. Facet of Hope’s class ability regeneration is active while you have any eligible buff that stays active long enough.

This means Frost Armor, Woven Mail, Restoration, Radiant, Void Overshield, Devour, Invisibility, and Amplified will all receive Facet of Hope’s benefits when Facet of Hope is equipped.

[zenith geyser]

Hey all,

We've noticed reports and observed data that suggests XP earn rates are slower than expected. We're investigating further, but in the meantime, we've enabled a change with Update 8.0.0.6 that increases the total Weekly Rest bonus by 150K XP over its 250K XP base.

This temporary increase will be available each week until the issue is resolved. Stay tuned for further updates.

[zenith geyser]

Per #bungie-server-status

We are continuing to investigate issues related to gear and characters not loading in various activities including the Tower, Excision, and PvP modes.

We recommend that players experiencing these issues fully restart their game as a temporary mitigation.
We will provide additional information when available.

Some additional context:
Issue is a bit deeper than initially thought. While an attempted fix was issued on Tuesday, we're still seeing reports of gear loading issues in multiple activities.

Once the team has identified the underlying issue and has a projected fix timeline, we'll let you know.

Until then, it's highly recommended that you close and restart Destiny 2 if you begin to see player gear not loading, including your own.

Most frequently, we see reports of this occurring after completing a Raid encounter or Excision activity.

[tribal helm]

Episode: Revenant - Story Availability Clarification

For our next Episode, Revenant, each Act's entire story will be available to play as it launches instead of week to week.

Our goal is to give players an opportunity to play at their own pace. We'll be monitoring feedback when these changes go live.

We'd also like to note specifically that Episode: Echoes will continue to have weekly story beats for Act 2 and Act 3.

Ritual Reputation Fix

Hey all,

For some time, we've been investigating an issue where Titans and Hunters were incorrectly receiving reputation boosts in Crucible, Vanguard Ops, and Gambit. Starting today this issue is resolved, and all classes should correctly be earning the same amount of reputation.

We are planning some reputation bonus weeks for Crucible, Vanguard Ops, and Gambit in the future as a form of make-good for this issue. All classes will be included. Stay tuned for announcements!

[tribal helm]

Iron Banner: Matchmaking Update - July 11, 2024

Hey all,

Today we're pushing some server-side changes to update matchmaking settings in Iron Banner. Our goal for these changes is to address feedback concerning the variance of Skill-Based Matchmaking in Iron Banner when compared to other Crucible offerings. This change will widen the potential skill-values of participants from match to match.

We'll be monitoring the feedback as these changes go live.

[tribal helm]

Master Raid Triumphs - Incoming Fix and Oops All Challenges Week

Hey all,

Tomorrow, we'll be issuing a fix to address Master Salvation's Edge Challenge Triumphs not unlocking properly. Moving forward, these Triumphs should unlock when their requirements are met.

At this time, we are unable to retroactively credit players who completed Master Challenges. We understand that this can be frustrating, not only in that it's difficult content, but also that challenges are only available once per week.

As such, we are planning to enable all Salvation's Edge challenges for a full week, starting on July 23 at weekly reset. This should give players an opportunity to complete all challenges on Master difficulty to earn their Sparrow and Title rewards. Players will also be able to earn one Adept weapon per challenge completed at Master difficulty, per character. That's... a lot of Adepts.

We apologize for the inconvenience but hope next week will be a good time for those looking to jam out Triumphs, earn raid loot, and maybe even try for some fun "house rule" challenges. Flawless, Master, All Challenges? Auto Rifles and Shotguns Only? Looking forward to seeing what you've got.

[tribal helm]

Havoc Hardware

#bungie-server-status has identified an issue where Havoc Hardware is being featured alongside normal Hardware settings in the Crucible Labs node. Both are currently displayed as 'Normal' in the mode selection list.

Havoc Hardware is the second option, as identified by the "Havoc Rules" modifier.

We'll be looking to address this in a future update. Until then, we're happy to hear feedback on both modes.

As a reminder, Crucible Rep is increased in Labs. Happy hunting.

[zenith geyser]

Still Hunt & Celestial Nighthawk - Damage Reduction Update

A few weeks ago, we announced that the Golden Gun shot from Still Hunt would be receiving a reduction to damage when paired with the Celestial Nighthawk Hunter Exotic Helmet.

While testing the change, we discovered that a slightly larger reduction in Golden Gun damage was required to bring this Exotic pairing into line with other classes. The updated total reduction to Still Hunt's Golden Gun damage when using Celestial Nighthawk will now be 33% less than the current functionality, and our patch notes have been updated for tomorrow to reflect that.

[tribal helm]

UPDATE: Master Raid Triumphs - Incoming Fix and Oops All Challenges Week

We are extending the "Challenge week" for Salvation's Edge by one additional week. As an issue impacting associated Triumphs lasted for multiple weeks, we want to ensure players have appropriate time to plan/complete the encounters they need.

Challenge week(s) will end on Aug 6.

[tribal helm]

Today is a difficult day for the Destiny team. Out of respect to our friends and colleagues, and to give our team time to take care of each other, we are cancelling this week's TWID. Our focus today is showing our support and respect to everyone who has worked on Destiny during this incredibly challenging time. We want to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to everyone who has been a part of Destiny.

While our team is taking this time to help support each other, we want you, our community, to know that we expect no disruption to all of our previously communicated content plans. Our content roadmap remains unchanged. This also includes our future plans for next year and beyond.

Whilst we look forward to sharing more of our future plans at a later time, this week is about supporting each other. We’ll talk again soon.

Destiny 2 Team

[tribal helm]

We've identified an issue impacting Exotic Class Item drop rates. At this time, Tier 4 Overthrow Chests are not contributing to increased drop chances, nor can Exotic Class Items be awarded through them.

We're currently developing a fix, aiming for a near-term hotfix. We are also looking into giving players a way to chase specific perks in a future update. More details as plans solidify.

[tribal helm]

We know that recent changes at Bungie have created uncertainty surrounding the future of Destiny. Rest assured we remain committed to Destiny, to supporting our community with transparency, and to delivering regular updates about the game.

We'll be talking with you all about the future of Destiny and plans for our next multi-year journey soon. Once we plant a flag for the date, we'll let you all know. Thank you for your patience, and we'll see you again soon.

[tribal helm]

We are tracking an issue where a high number of account names have been changed by our Bungie name moderation tool.

We are actively investigating and expect to have more information tomorrow, including details on an additional name change token for all players.

[tribal helm]

Hey all,

We have identified the issue that was forcing a high number of Bungie name changes. We have applied a server-side change to prevent the issue from impacting accounts moving forward.

We are continuing to investigate options to address player accounts that were impacted. This will take some time as our path forward will be dependent on fixing the underlying issue. As noted yesterday, we are still planning to distribute name change tokens to all players at a later date to assist.

As we have more information, we'll be sure to share it with you.

[tribal helm]

Update to Destiny 2 Restriction and Ban Policy - Input Macro Loot Farming

Starting today, we have revised our Restriction and Ban policy (https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049517431-Destiny-Account-Restrictions-and-Banning-Policies) to include the use of input macros to automate gameplay. While input macros can be a beneficial accessibility tool for many—and we intend to keep it that way—some have been leveraging these tools to automate gameplay.

**Players detected using automation to circumvent idle detection or perform automated activities to earn loot may be restricted or banned. Loot includes, but is not limited to, XP, materials, or drops (e.g. Exotic class items). **Automation or circumvention includes, but is not limited to, the use of programmable controllers, keyboard/mouse adapters, advanced macros, or artificial intelligence.

We have no plans to retroactively issue bans or restrictions to anyone, and any bans or restrictions related to this policy change will be issued for future infractions. Players who are currently using or have used macros for the above purposes may receive an in-game message warning against the future use of macros. Additionally, a small amount of account actions have been issued over the last few days for unrelated Terms of Use (https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Legal/terms) violations.

As a final note, accessibility in games is important to us. As we continue to look at opportunities within Destiny 2 to expand upon accessibility options, we want to ensure players who are using macros for the purpose of accessibility will not be actioned upon.

Destiny 2 Update 8.0.5.2 has begun rolling out across all platforms. We wanted to note that a last-minute issue was identified concerning Solstice Armor Ornaments. Unkindled ornaments options (Non-Glow) are not currently available to unlock on Warlocks. Additionally, these ornament selections do not currently have text strings.

We plan to fix this in a future update.

PvP can be tricky, no matter your skill level.

We've added Crucible rewards to Private Matches to give you a slightly more casual environment to earn Legendary weapons, armor, and even post-game Catalyst rewards.

Invite some friends, adjust some settings, and earn some rewards.

[zenith geyser]

Re: Pathfinder

Planned for Episode II, we're planning to split Pathfinder cards per activity. Crucible, Gambit, and Strikes.

We're trending towards solutions for the name change issue that players experienced a few weeks ago.

We're addressing an issue with our name filter in the next few days.
Once the issue is resolved, we'll be issuing one name change token to all players.

Stay tuned for updates.

[zenith geyser]

Patch Note Preview : Destiny 2 Update 8.0.5.4 (Early September) - Following changes target Smoke, Swarm, and Threaded Specter abilities on Hunters. These changes are both for PvE and PvP. As always when previewing patch notes this many weeks out, the following bullets are subject to change if any issues arise. Stay tuned for further updates!

Threaded Specter Aspect

• Increased cooldown duration of Marksman Dodge and Gambler's Dodge when Threaded Specter is equipped
• Removed dodge cooldown penalty after creating clone
• If the clone is destroyed by attacks, it no longer spawns Threadlings
• Increased the amount of time the clone will distract nearby combatants before exploding

Swarm Grenade

• Increased Swarm Grenade base cooldown duration by 15%
• Moved Swarm Grenade to a slower recharge tier for non-passive grenade-energy gains

Smoke Bomb melee

• Reduced the time the smoke bomb projectile lingers in the world from 10s to 3.5s
• Reduced the player movement-speed penalty imparted by the smoke by 25%

Additionally, we have a few more changes planned for Episode 2. While we wanted the following to ship alongside the above changes, they needed just a bit more time in the oven.

Threaded Specter

• Increasing detonation damage vs. combatants by 33%

Swarm Grenade

• Swarm Grenade submunitions will be easier to shoot
• Swarm Grenade submunitions will chain-detonate nearby submunitions

We'll continue to watch the conversation around sandbox balancing and plan changes accordingly. If you have any feedback concerning weapon tuning, exciting perks, subclass abilities, or other - please sound off on our forums or ping any of our social media accounts!

Hey all,

We're loving the many clips of you destroying Overload champions and Nightfall bosses with the new Choir of One Exotic Auto Rifle.

While we're greatly enjoying your domination of enemies, we wanted to make sure to communicate early that there are currently a couple bugs that we've identified with the weapon:

• The weapon is holding far more ammo in reserves than was originally intended.
• The hip fire projectiles of the weapon are dealing more damage than intended when buffed by Divinity.

We've started planning bugfixes for these, we're holding until Episode 2 so you can have a fun time with a slightly... overtuned weapon. Bank error in your favor! Go shred some Raid bosses or leverage those auto rifle artifact mods in Grandmasters. Show us the mayhem.

We'll have more details on a fix in the next month or so. Until then, have fun.

[zenith geyser]

We have resolved an issue that caused numerous Bungie Name changes on August 13, 2024.

All Destiny 2 players have received an additional name change token to update their names, if so desired.

Good morning, everyone! 👋

What Sandbox related questions do you have for our team? Weapons, Armor, Abilities - you name it!

We're in the process of fleshing out a fun Q&A session for a future TWID. We can't answer them all, but looking forward to seeing what's on your minds.

Drop your questions in this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1g6n2on/drop_your_sandbox_related_questions_here/

Thank you!

[zenith geyser]

We have discovered a missed patch note for Destiny 2 Update 8.1.0 regarding ignition damage versus bosses. After an initial ignition, bosses now gain progressively higher damage resistance to ignitions that occur over a short amount of time (five seconds of DR from last ignition to take place).

We have identified an issue where these subsequent ignitions are doing far less damage than intended. We are planning to tune this damage resistance appropriately, and for it to only apply to the Vesper's Host dungeon boss Raneiks Unified, rather than it being game-wide.

We are planning to address these issues in Update 8.1.5, planned for Mid-November. Please stay tuned for more details.

[zenith geyser]

Class-based Trials Labs is coming this weekend. Dominion rule set, and a fresh Adept weapon up for grabs if you reach the Flawless chest.

No more than one of each class per team, so every team must be comprised of a Titan, Hunter, and Warlock, with no duplicates! We currently have this scheduled to run twice during the Season, and we are very interested to hear your feedback on how it plays. Matchmaking will be active, so you can play solo or in a duo and the matchmaking will find players who do not match your class to fill out your team.

Now's a good time to get practice in with your fireteam and pick which Class each of you will be running. Who's got dibs on Titan? Warlock? Hunter?

See you Friday morning, 10 AM PT.

[zenith geyser]

Regarding further reports of perk weighting:

While we have confirmed that there is no intentional perk weighting on weapons within our content setup, we are now investigating a potential issue within our code for how RNG perks are generated.

Many thanks to all players who have been contributing to data collection across the community. This data has been monumentally helpful with our investigation, and we are currently working on internal simulations to confirm your findings.

We will provide more information as soon as it is available.

[zenith geyser]

As you head into Class-based Trials of Osiris, we have a few notes:

1. We identified an issue where some players were not receiving Trials vendor engrams as they progressed Trials rep. As such, we have enabled increased Trials reputation for the weekend.
2. A new Flawless Shader should now be available from the Flawless chest.
3. This week also features increased Crucible loot drops; this applies to Trials drops as well.

This all adds up to the following: Trials reputation, post-match and Flawless chest rewards are increased! That's... a lot of loot.

See you out there.

We're currently looking into some inconsistencies for rank gains and losses in the Competitive Cricble playlist. Until resolved, we're making some slight changes to the amount of rank that can be gained or lost from a given match.

This should mitigate the effects of the issue as we continue to investigate. We will provide additional details at a later date.

[zenith geyser]

Our team has been working through community-sourced data and internal simulations to reproduce reported issues regarding legendary weapon perk RNG.

After investigation, we can confirm an issue has been found in our code where some random perk combinations are harder to earn per legendary weapon perk set. In some cases, desirable perk combinations are a bit easier to earn as well. While we inspected our content and confirmed each perk is weighted equally, an issue in perk pool RNG is the culprit here.

Our team has quickly identified a potential solution to the issue, and we are rapidly working to validate the fix.

We are aiming to address this as soon as possible and will share a planned hotfix date when available.

[zenith geyser]

The team is continuing to make progress in addressing issues impacting Perk RNG. Currently, we are targeting a hotfix for November 5, 2024. As this fix will touch code for a game-wide system, we're giving the team a bit more time to fully validate the changes needed to address this issue.

In the long-term, we're looking at a few options not only to thank many of you for your data-crunching, but to get some weapons in your hands that had perk rolls with lower RNG chances than intended. First and foremost, we found a fitting emblem deep within our vaults that almost seemed destined for this.

The emblem will represent a moment in time when many throughout the community came together to help us identify this issue. Between your data and our simulations for hundreds of thousands of drops... we're all becoming Conquerors of Infinity.

Redeem the following code at https://bung.ie/3CbOhtP or Bungie.net/Redeem: VHT-6A7-3MM

Additionally, we're looking at some opportunities to get fun loot in your hands at a later date. Not only will our RNG systems be fixed up, but you'll have more opportunities to snag some rolls you've been looking for. We're also looking to have a future deep dive article from the team on this, talking through our investigation and how interesting this issue was to dig through on our side.

Stay tuned for additional details.

[zenith geyser]

The team has identified issues causing 2023 versions of Festival of the Lost weapons to be awarded from activities and vendor focusing.

We are looking to issue a fix today. If issues are found in testing, fixes may be slightly delayed. Stay tuned for updates.

Tomorrow (Nov 5), we are planning to issue a fix for RNG Perk Weighting Issues in Destiny 2 Hotfix 8.1.0.4.

We'd like to take a moment to thank all our community members who helped in identifying this issue. In thanks for their efforts, and to help players get their hands on a few impacted weapons, we're planning the following:

⚔️Starting November 19 through December 3, the Vesper's Host Dungeon will offer double drops for encounter and activity completions.

➡️Both weapon and armor rewards can drop from encounter completions. This will be a great time to hunt for your desired rolls on weapons, or even hit Master difficulty to earn some Artifice armor.

🤖Starting November 19, Banshee-44 will have a small collection of weapons in the Tower with curated perk rolls. Our goal is to get you some perk combinations that were a bit harder to earn due to the bug. We do not currently have a planned deadline for acquisition, but we recommend picking these weapons up at your earliest convenience.

➡️Rose - Fluted Barrel, Accurized Rounds, Slideshot, Explosive Payload, Smooth Grip, Handling MW
➡️Multimach - Polygonal Rifling + Tactical Mag + Attrition Orbs + Kinetic Tremors + Reload MW
➡️Indebted Kindness - Smart Drift Control + Tactical Mag + Loose Change + Voltshot + Velocity MW
➡️Compass Rose - Corkscrew Rifling, Light Mag, Snapshot Sights, Slideshot, Handling MW
➡️Hothead (Adept) - Hard Launch + Impact Casing + Tracking Module + Clown Cartridge + Reload MW
➡️VS Chill Inhibitor - Countermass + Spike Grenades + Envious Arsenal + Bait and Switch + Reload MW

Note: Dungeon related weapons will require Dungeon ownership, and at least one Dungeon completion.

We're still aiming to have a deep-dive article talking through this issue. This may take a bit of time, and we plan to provide a target date when we can.

[zenith geyser]

Small fix coming tomorrow, but one we're excited about: Garden of Salvation chests will be updated to also drop weapons.
Hope this helps are you're looking for deepsight drops.

[zenith geyser]

Prep day for our Episode Revenant Act II Developer Livestream!

Dotting our i's and crossing our t's. Lots of fun topics to cover, and the slick new "We Begin in the Stars" emblem for Twitch Drops.

We'll see you tomorrow at 10 PT on twitch.tv/bungie.

[zenith geyser]

Many thanks to our Fireteam, our Host, and our... "Subjects" for the fun Revenant Act II stream today.

Activities, rewards, fashion, fun and friendship. Always a good time to get together and talk through the goods.

See you on Thursday for the TWID, and next week at reset for Act II kickoff!

[zenith geyser]

Starting next week (Nov. 19), repeat Solar Ignition damage will be increased against all bosses except the Vesper's Host boss Raneiks Unified.

This should return damage to pre-Revenant functionality.

Raiju’s Harness - Planned tuning for December

Despite this Hunter Exotic working as intended, some of Raiju’s Harness’ new behavior has been confusing to unravel for players. So, to make the benefits more evident, we will move up the floor on its Super energy generation and lower the ceiling slightly. Overall, this should feel like a net increase in Super energy gained.

Though, sadly, these changes came together a little late to arrive next week, so we’ll be adding this tuning in a later patch (December), but we wanted to give you all the notes regardless.

Re-tuned Super energy granted by defeating Arc-debuffed combatants.

• Minors: Increased Super energy granted from 0.3% to 1%.
• Majors: Increased Super energy granted from 1.7% to 2.5%.
• Players: Increased Super energy granted from 3.1% to 4%.
• Minibosses and bosses: Decreased Super energy granted from 4.5% to 4%.

Decreased amount of Super energy granted for defeating Arc-debuffed combatants while Gathering Storm is being cast.

• Maximum total energy granted this way remains the same, at 50%.
• Note: The lightning summoned by Raiju's Harness on allies and enemies near the user will always apply status effects before dealing damage.

[zenith geyser]

This weekend, Javelin-4 will be featured as the final map for Trials of Osiris before Act II begins.

We had originally planned for this weekend to feature Endless Vale, but we're currently working through an audio issue that impacts situational awareness on the map. Once this issue is resolved, the map will re-enter rotation for a future Trials weekend.

[zenith geyser]

Just taking a last pass on patch notes for tomorrow. Good amount of balancing, bug fixing, and some fun content on the way.

Lots more in there, but had to highlight a few we're excited about!

[zenith geyser]

Starting Today, Banshee-44 has a small collection of weapons in the Tower with curated perk rolls. Our goal is to get you some perk combinations that were a bit harder to earn due to the RNG perk issue that was fixed in our previous update. We do not currently have a planned deadline for acquisition, but we recommend picking these weapons up at your earliest convenience.

The following weapons can be found on the second page of Banshee-44's inventory:

• Rose - Fluted Barrel, Accurized Rounds, Slideshot, Explosive Payload, Smooth Grip, Handling MW
• Multimach - Polygonal Rifling + Tactical Mag + Attrition Orbs + Kinetic Tremors + Reload MW
• Indebted Kindness - Smart Drift Control + Tactical Mag + Loose Change + Voltshot + Velocity MW

Final TWID of November up to bat. This week we're talking Iron Banner, Act II Tonics, and #D2FashionFeedback.

We'll be celebrating Thanksgiving next week in the US, catching some R&R with our families (or wonderful pets).

Support teams will be at the ready for comms if needed, here or through our BungieHelp channel.

Next TWID will be Dec. 5. Dawning details to come!

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid-11-21-24

[zenith geyser]

We are issuing a short term fix on November 23 to address issues where Legend and Master Lost Sectors would not drop weapon rewards on certain days. Until a full fix is introduced, the featured Lost Sector rotation will be slightly altered.

Stay tuned for further details.

[zenith geyser]

Always a fun time diving deep. Want to know more about the recent RNG perk issues? Read up!

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/dev_insights_perk_rng_issue

Reminder on make-goods created as a thank you to all in the community who assisted in identifying this issue:

• Double Drops in the Vesper's Host Dungeon continue through next Tuesday (Dec. 3).
• A handful of curated weapons are currently available at the Gunsmith. These will be around for a bit, but we recommend picking them up sooner rather than later.
• Redeem the "Conquerors of Infinity" Emblem over at Bungie.net/Redeem: VHT-6A7-3MM

[zenith geyser]

Where TWID?!

No TWID today due to Thanksgiving here in the US, but our Sandbox team wanted to share a few silly images with you all.

Dragon's Gasp and our Tiny Wish... Ender.

See you next week for our regularly scheduled blog.

[zenith geyser]

We have identified an issue where the Dawning Event Card Upgrade could be acquired for less Silver than intended. (None, whoops!)

Until this issue is resolved, the Dawning Event Card Upgrade will not be available for purchase. Players can still complete free event card triumphs and earn free rewards as expected.

Once this issue is resolved, players will need to re-acquire the Dawning Event Card Upgrade for 1,000 Silver.

Stay tuned for updates.

[zenith geyser]

Due to disabling the Dawning Event Card, all Event Card Triumphs and progression are on hold until the main issue is resolved.

We'll provide updates once we have more information

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We have identified the underlying issue impacting the price of the Dawning Event Pass Upgrade.

At this time, we are planning the following actions:

1. Players who obtained the Dawning Event Card Upgrade while it was incorrectly listed at no cost will keep it. Bank error in your favor - Happy Dawning!
2. We will be issuing a hotfix (timing TBD) to fix pricing issues on the Upgrade, which will unblock players from making progress on both the earned and upgrade tracks.
3. When resolved, players who wish to purchase the Dawning Event Card Upgrade may do so for 1,000 Silver.

Once we have additional information on our fix timeline, we will provide updates.

[zenith geyser]

We are developing the following changes to Tonics, planned to release on December 17, 2024. Our main goals are to give you far more opportunities to earn the weapons you're chasing with Tonics and decrease instances of Tonics running out mid activity.

Planned changes are as follows:
1.Legendary Tonics will guarantee the associated weapon drops when triggered directly to your loot feed, rather than being shared across multiple Episode: Revenant weapon drops. You will see these drops as you defeat enemies or complete general activities throughout Destiny 2.

2. Base Tonic Durations have been increased across the board, which can be further increased by Lab Equipment (Up to +50% in Act 3) accrued through Episodic Quest Progress.

• Uncommon Tonic duration increased to 40 minutes (was 20).
• Rare Tonic duration increased to 60 minutes (was 40).
• Legendary Tonic duration increased to 80 minutes (was 60).

3. General Bug Fixes to help address a small number of Tonics that are currently focusing wrong weapons or armor.

4. Legendary Tonics now affect the chances of obtaining the specified item from the relevant activity.

• For instance, consuming a Tonic of Vantage Point (Onslaught) will increase the chances of that weapon dropping from Revenant Onslaught chests.

If any issues are found between now and release, some of the above plans may change. We'll be sure to communicate any changes prior to the hotfix release date if necessary.

[zenith geyser]

The issue impacting the Dawning Event Card Upgrade has been resolved, and the Event Card is available once more. Players may now earn Event Card rewards and associated Upgrade cosmetics as expected.

[zenith geyser]

We've identified, and are working toward resolution, regarding Dawning weapons not being focusable and not dropping with double perks after unlocking Eva's upgrade.

Updates will be provided when we have more information to share.

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating reports where the Dawning Event Card's Amateur, Adept, and Expert Baker Triumphs are not progressing when baking every unique cookie.

If your account is affected, please create a thread in our Help forum: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Topics/?tg=Help

We're currently investigating an issue where some players can become "stuck" during the introductory Dawning questline when being asked to bake cookies for Zavala. While we are investigating a solution to this issue, we have identified a potential workaround leveraging an alternate character.

After signing in to your alternate character, retrieve the Dawning oven and questline from Eva Levante in the Tower. Once acquired, collecting required Gjallardoodle ingredients and giving Zavala his cookies should unblock progress, and unlock further Questing, Bounties, and more.

Stay tuned for updates on the status of our investigation.

We are also investigating reports that some players are not receiving any Dawning quests on specific characters from Eva Levante.

While players may work around this by completing Dawning quests on alternate characters, we are currently investigating the root cause of this issue and looking to address it as soon as possible.

[zenith geyser]

We have issued a fix to Dawning Weapon Focusing.

Dawning weapons now correctly have a chance to drop with extra perks in the left and right columns after obtaining the Perky Presents and Perkier Presents upgrades on Eva Levante in the Tower.

Happy hunting, Guardians.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue preventing triumph progress, we have auto-completed the Amateur, Adept, and Expert Baker triumphs within the Dawning Event Card.

Players may now redeem these triumphs to collect associated rewards.

Note: Players may need to close Destiny 2 and relaunch the game for this change to apply.

[zenith geyser]

So, how are we looking on the Dawning Bake-off?

Zavala has eaten 3,470,535 Gjallardoodles. Well over expectations.

Players have unlocked three emblem drop chance increases from opening Gifts in Return. Focus on baking for Ikora, Eva Levante, and the Drifter to earn additional increases this week!

[zenith geyser]

All Gift in Return emblem drop bonuses for weeks 1 + 2 of the Dawning have been reached!

Starting Tuesday (December 24) at 9AM PT, your target baking items will be Etheric Coldsnaps, Lavender Ribbon Cookies, and Vanilla Blades.

Lord Shaxx and Saint-14 had better be hungry...

[zenith geyser]

We've seen conversations around Slayer’s Fang’s ability to do self-damage and apply Weaken to yourself if you're hit by the ricocheting projectiles. Note, the Weaken is only applied while Nightsworn Sight is active, while the self-damage always happens. This is intentional for both gameplay and narrative reasons and we wanted to give a bit of insight into our thought process.

A lot of ricochet projectiles or explosives do self-damage (Sleeper Simulant can even kill the user) and it’s an important balancing measure. If you are taking a cheeky shot around a corner or just firing from the hip, the self-damage provides a balance to ensure high risk, high reward usage.

On the narrative side, Slayer’s Fang is aware of its use as a tool for destruction and doesn’t lend its power to its wielders easily. You may find that if you mishandle Slayer’s Fang, the gun with a mouth for a barrel may just bite back a little. With the ultimate Slayer Baron weapon in your hand, you may not fear dreams nor teeth, but you will want to handle it with care.

So, appropriate for its design and narrative goals, Slayer’s Fang does a little damage plus a short Weaken instead of outright killing the player. As always, we are happy to see the feedback and will continue to adjust sandbox atoms accordingly.

[zenith geyser]

What's the opposite of an Insignificant Lie?

We hold these trials and truths in high regard...

[zenith geyser]

This week, we have banned a large number of accounts that were breaking our Terms of Service, either by cheating or through violations of our Code of Conduct.

Additionally, we are investigating an exploit involving the use of an external tool that's circumventing our in-game Bungie Name filters. We are banning accounts engaging in this conduct and actively working towards a solution to prevent names that break our Code of Conduct from being exposed to our players.

https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049517431-Destiny-Account-Restrictions-and-Banning-Policies

We will provide updates when possible.

[zenith geyser]

Guardians, we're impressed by your tenacity. Skolas is beginning to fear your approach.

Chances for the Revenant Redress Legendary Emblem have been greatly increased.

[zenith geyser]

Starting next week, each of the weapons available for Bento Tokens will be enhancable.

If you have any sitting in your vault, they'll also gain this functionality. This includes both Adept and Base versions of the weapons, where applicable.

Check the TWID for more info: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid-01-16-25

[zenith geyser]

The Road to Heresy continues. We have... a lot to talk about.

Next week, we'll be walking you through major updates to the Lighthouse and rewards experiences in Trials of Osiris. We're also rebuilding the way ranking works in Competitive Crucible, updating how we track and utilize skill in Crucible, reorganizing our playlists (Iron Banner Quickplay?!), and more.

Oh, and we'll have more Sandbox updates focused on Weapons and Armor.

Stay tuned...

[zenith geyser]

While our TWID today is filled to the brim with Sandbox changes coming in Heresy, there will be a few more minor things coming in the Patch Notes on launch day. We may drop a few between now and then...

Example: Alongside the general tuning for Glaives in the TWID, we have also reduced the delay before the explosion happens on glaive projectile kills when using the Hunter Exotic Triton Vice!

More in the TWID: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid-01-23-25

[zenith geyser]

Additionally, the "Spark Defender" Seasonal Challenge has been auto-completed due to progression issues. Claim before the Episode ends for rewards!

[zenith geyser]

When Destiny 2: Heresy launches on February 4, players will be tasked with infiltrating the Dreadnaught once more. Along the way, you'll be earning some sweet loot, helped by the Tome of Want.

💠 On day one, you'll unlock the "Tome of Want", giving you options to focus on earning specific weapons, armor, or currencies in addition to general loot drops you'll earn during gameplay.
🔋 As you complete Heresy activities, you'll earn Essence of Desire to power up your Tome's rituals, and Scriptures, which will specify the desired rewards.
📜 To keep you better informed of ritual progress, the Tome's tooltip will display a progress bar, indicating when you’ll earn your next specified reward. This lives entirely within your inventory.
📈 Progress is gained by defeating powerful enemies and completing activities. You'll get more progress from Heresy activities, of course, but minor gains can be earned from various activities throughout the game.
⚔️ As we get deeper into Heresy, you'll be able to upgrade your Tome to be more efficient, increasing the number of rewards that can be earned through a single ritual.
✏️ Additionally, Tome Engravings will be unlocked over time and augment a number of Artifact Perks with additional effects. These effects will activate any time a ritual is active, within the Tome.

Spread the word and prep for launch!

[zenith geyser]

We’ve seen a resurgence of time fluctuations and traces of Deepsight weaponry coming from the Vault of Glass...

While Raids normally function on a 2-per-week featured rotation, Vault of Glass will be added as a bonus third option for the launch week of Destiny 2: Heresy, starting Feb 4.

Happy hunting!

[zenith geyser]

With the release of the Nether activity within the Dreadnaught, we're looking to treat health as a resource that players need to monitor throughout gameplay. At this time, healing-centric builds and options (Weapon perks, Exotics, and Abilities) are not working as we'd intended.

Additionally, we are aware that many healing-centric builds are difficult to see or feel with Guardian health being increased by 200%. Overall, the health bar contains 3x your normal health values, so healing feels fairly low and slow!

We're looking to take a balance pass quickly and are targeting a patch as early as next week to address these issues. Stay tuned for updates.

[zenith geyser]

We have a preliminary list of items that we are planning to disable within the Contest difficulty of the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon starting on Friday, February 7.

Please visit the following article for details: bung.ie/disables

We will be updating the list as more items are identified, and plan to have a complete list locked by 7AM Pacific on Friday morning.

If you're planning to engage in the Dungeon race, we recommend stocking up on infusion materials, prepping multiple builds, and being ready to pivot on a dime. Stay tuned for updates.

[zenith geyser]

We have an addition to our disabled items list within Contest Mode of the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon.

"Spirit of the Necrotic" and "Spirit of the Filaments" will be disabled on the Solipsism Exotic Class Item for Warlocks.

[zenith geyser]

Due to issues affecting PlayStation players' ability to sign in to Destiny 2, we are planning an additional Sundered Doctrine Contest Mode weekend for all platforms.

Specific dates and times will be announced at a later date.

Note: The Sundered Doctrine Race has concluded. This will simply be an additional opportunity for those who had fireteams impacted by the outage to attempt to clear the Dungeon at Contest Difficulty.

Stay tuned for updates.

[zenith geyser]

We are aware of an issue where Particle Reconstruction is stacking with certain weaken sources and overriding others and are currently planning a fix to this for an upcoming patch.

Particle Reconstruction

• Will no longer stack with other weaken sources or Divinity.
• Will No longer override higher sources of Weaken like Tether or Tractor Cannon.

[zenith geyser]

We have identified an issue where Lodestar, the new Exotic Primary Trace Rifle, has far more aim assist than intended.

As such, this exotic will be disabled within PvP modes (Crucible, Gambit, and Trials) until resolved. It can still be used in PvE content to complete pathfinder objectives or seasonal challenges.

[zenith geyser]

After an investigation, we have discovered that Finality's Auger, the exotic found in the Sundered Doctrine dungeon, isn't currently dropping as expected.

We are actively investigating the root cause and discussing options to address this issue as soon as possible.

Many thanks to all who have reported the issue and aided in our initial investigations.

[zenith geyser]

We have identified the underlying issue impacting Finality's Auger drop rates. We are looking to address this as soon as tomorrow but need to validate the fix and ensure a clean deployment.

Alongside this fix, we are also planning to increase drop chances for this exotic when completing Sundered Doctrine activities.

Stay tuned for updates.

[zenith geyser]

As noted last weekend, we are planning an additional opportunity for Guardians to attempt Contest Mode for the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon.

Our current target is Saturday, February 22. Starting at reset (9:00 AM Pacific), Contest Mode will be re-enabled for 24 hours.

Players may earn the Contest Mode Triumph, emblem, and guaranteed drop of Finality's Auger during this period.

[zenith geyser]

Returning to where it all started...

Burnout. Exalted Truth. Lighthouse revamp. New Armor.

We're ready for Trials of Osiris to return. Are you? See you Friday, bright and early. (9 AM Pacific)

[zenith geyser]

The team's been able to fix some of today's Trials issues, which include access requiring Lightfall instead of The Final Shape, and alt characters being unable to access Trials if your main completed a Passage on a 7-win streak.

Sound off if you're still having these issues!

[zenith geyser]

Our make-up period for the Sundered Doctrine Contest Mode is about to begin.

24 hours. Reset to Reset. Complete the full Dungeon to earn the Contest Mode Triumph, which will grant the associated Emblem and Exotic.

Good luck out there, Guardians.

[zenith geyser]

A glimpse into our internal Community x Sandbox team chat. When talking Palindrome perks, Rolling Storm has some fun opportunities when mixed with Ignition damage...

Do you see the vision?

[zenith geyser]

We are currently planning a fix for players who did not receive the Redrix's Estoc Competitive Pulse Rifle after completing their placement series.

We understand that this weapon shipped a little hot in the Crucible, so the following changes are also being planned for Act II:

• Tuning Sword Logic Damage against players in PvP.

• We will be adding this perk to more weapons in the future and need it to be in line with our other damage perk options in the PvP sandbox. This will not affect PvE efficacy.

• Reducing the handling stat on Redrix's Estoc.

• Walking back some of the buff that Lightweight Pulse Rifles received in Destiny 2 Update 8153.

• Note: These will still perform better than pre-buff. Just reducing the damage buff slightly to lower some of the forgiveness.

We'll have more details in a future TWID.

[zenith geyser]

In addition to fixes for the Placement Series Redrix's Estoc reward, we will also be fixing an issue where players cannot focus previous Competitive Crucible rewards from Shaxx after playing three competitive playlist matches each week.

We are aiming for Destiny 2 Update 8.2.5, arriving in a few weeks.

[zenith geyser]

We've identified an issue where the Increased Crucible Loot modifier is leading to double the intended bonus rewards for post-game Trials Adept weapon drops (earned from weekly win streaks of four or higher).

While we're letting this ride for the weekend, we're planning to fix this for future weekends. Best of luck out there, Guardians. We're thinking a great Aisha's Care ADEPT roll is in your immediate future...

[zenith geyser]

Rehearsal time. We'll see you in just a few hours for the Heresy Act II Livestream!

Any burning questions about Act II? Let us know or hit us in chat.

[zenith geyser]

Thank you all for joining us on the Heresy Act II Livestream! Our host, cast, players, and crew all had a blast. We hope you did too.

Moments of Triumph, Act II, Guardian Games, Act III, Rite of the Nine, Heavy Metal.... We've got a lot coming. Stay tuned to upcoming TWID's for more details!

See you out there!

[zenith geyser]

We're aware of an issue where the "Time Honored" emblem, gifted with any purchase of Moments of Triumph items on the Bungie Store, is currently showing temporary art.

We are planning to address this on Tuesday with Destiny 2 Update 8.2.5.

[zenith geyser]

Whether you're aiming for your fist visit to the Lighthouse within the simulation of Mercury, or you're a veteran with five THOUSAND plus visits like GernaderJake, we wish you the best of luck today in the Trials of Osiris.

Keen Thistle, our new Trials branded Sniper, will be up for grabs. Endless Vale will be your arena.

See you out there, Guardians.

[zenith geyser]

Increased Nightfall rewards are never late, nor are they early. They arrive precisely when they mean to.

Maybe tomorrow? Who knows...

[zenith geyser]

Crucible/PvP Tuning - What's in flight?

Hey all,
Over the last few weeks, we've been watching (and engaging with) combat in the Crucible and taking some notes.

For a full breakdown on Snapskating, Closing Time, Tommy's Matchbook, Radiant Dance Machines, Map Lighting, and more:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1j8sk9k/pvp_tuning_whats_in_flight/

[zenith geyser]

We are aware of an issue where early, incomplete versions of Rite of the Nine Dungeons are accessible.

Access to Rite of the Nine activities will be disabled as soon as possible, and all related rewards will be disabled from use until further notice.
This content is still in the oven and are looking forward to the completed versions being released at a later date. We apologize for the hiccup!

[zenith geyser]

We've identified an issue where our 3v3 Solo vs Fireteam Loss Protection can sometimes be affected by a networking condition, causing it to fail.

To better protect solo players until resolved, we will be walking back yesterday's change which allowed 2-player fireteams to match against 3-player fireteams without delay. The Loss Protection as it currently functions will remain enabled, and we will be attempting a fix tomorrow. Once we have verified the fix has taken effect, we will reenable the matchmaking changes.

We will provide additional updates when we have more information.

[zenith geyser]

Didn't think we'd be sending an email titled "Jimmy, Aspect of Placeholding has returned in Guardian Games Rushdown"... but here we are.

If you haven't hopped in yet, Rushdown is our Boss-rush Guardian Games activity. Jump in and teach Jimmy a lesson, will ya?

[zenith geyser]

Updates from the Eververse Team: We heard you and are planning some fashion-forward changes:

• Hoods back on for Stasis Drake Hunters
• Stoicism Ornament to have Cloth options
• Return of Invisible Warlock Bond

Stay tuned for the TWID this week for further details!

[zenith geyser]

Additional Patch Notes Fixes

We've just added a few additional fixes to the 8.2.5.1 patch notes that weren’t reflected on the initial post. These are all currently live in-game with today’s update.

Radiant Dance Machines

• Set up custom tuning for Tommy's Matchbook, The Last Word, and Dead Man's Tale so that they do not get any range increase from Radiant Dance Machines but still receive some of the accuracy bonuses.
• Fixed an issue where the precision angle threshold when using Radiant Dance Machines was higher on mouse and keyboard than on controller.

Weapons Perks

• Fixed an issue where the Legacy Intrinsic Frame precision angle threshold was higher on mouse and keyboard than on controller.

[zenith geyser]

Boondoggle

Throughout the weekend, we'll be randomly invading Twitch chats in the Destiny 2 directory and dropping The Final Shape / Annual Pass codes.
Trials, Raids, Gambit... you name it. No subscriptions or purchase necessary.

Keep an eye out!

Final week of Guardian Games.
Hawker Ghost Shell is up for Bright Dust in the Eververse.

You know what to do, Guardians. Hot dog time.

[zenith geyser]

Our teams embraced the darkness when creating Stasis inspired armor ornaments for the Eververse. Hunter cloaks are fitted with Silence and Squall, Titans are stowing a Diamond Lance on their back, and Warlocks are keeping their Winter's Wrath Staff close at hand.

It's always a fun time exploring what a Stasis Guardian could look like, and we hope these looks fit the theme! Snag 'em for 1500 Silver if you wish. They'll also be available for Bright Dust at a later date.

Mix and match with shaders or other sets and show us your fashion!

[zenith geyser]

We are investigating an issue where players may encounter a soft-lock within the Court of Blades when encountering certain bosses.

We will provide additional information when available.

[zenith geyser]

As we continue to investigate an issue where players can encounter a soft-lock within the Court of Blades, we are planning to shift the enemy faction at Expert difficulty to Taken, which should help circumvent this issue.

As a note, players may still encounter this soft-lock in normal difficulty. We hope to address this quickly and will provide updates when possible

[zenith geyser]

We're actively investigating an issue where the Hull Breach area is not appearing as often as intended when launching into the Nether.

We will provide updates when possible.

Emblem Found Somewhere in the Heavens...

Frog Blast the Vent Core!!!! [...] Oh, apologies, not sure what took over us. With all of the notes in the TWAB, we almost forgot.... We have a new and cool Destiny 2 emblem to share. It says here it comes from a star system relatively close to Sol, only 12 light years away, and it's inspired by this very cool game called Marathon. Just watch at least 15 minutes of the Marathon Gameplay Showcase Reveal on April 12 between 10am and 12pm Pacific to earn the Destination: Tau Ceti emblem in Destiny 2. Any Twitch channel in the Marathon directory will be eligible.

Another reveal in the books. As we said, there's a lot of change coming to the Core of Destiny 2. Armor 3.0, Gear tiering, the Portal, and more.

From now through launch, we'll be developing deep dives and TWIDs to get you up to speed.

What questions are top of mind? Power squish? Stat changes? Sandbox tuning? Let us know!

[zenith geyser]

Pre-order items for the Edge of Fate and the Year of Prophecy can be picked up at the Special Deliveries kiosk located in the Tower, across from Banshee.

Players may need to sign out and back into the game for the items to appear or install the proper license by managing their game add-ons on the platform.

Re: Vault Space

Vault space is not changing in The Edge of Fate, but we do have additional Vault space and QOL features planned for Renegades later this year.

Stay tuned for details.

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating an issue where defeating Persys, Primordial Ruin, in the Spire of the Watcher dungeon is not counting toward the First Watch and Elegant Arsenal: Long Arm quests.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: Progress toward the First Watch and Elegant Arsenal: Long Arm quests can be gained for defeating Persys, Primordial Ruin, in Spire of the Watcher by completing the dungeon on the Eternity and Ultimatum difficulties.

We have identified issues impacting progress in Explorer difficulties and will provide more information when available

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We've issued a server side change that should unblock progress on Rite of the Nine quests within Explorer difficulties.

Through next Tuesday, all players can receive an additional reward when defeating the final boss and completing the dungeon.

Let us know if the quests still have issues!

[tribal helm]

Hey all. We've seen lots of questions since Tuesday's Year of Prophecy Reveal Event that we'd like to answer here. We're planning many follow-up blogs, TWIDs, and streams so keep your questions coming,

All details in today's TWID as well at https://bung.ie/4iNvqoF.

Q: Will vault space be increased?

A: Vault space is not changing in The Edge of Fate, but we do have additional vault space and quality of life features planned for Renegades later this year. Stay tuned for details.

Q: Will the new Portal feature fully replace the Director?

A: The Director will continue to be available through a "Worlds" tab next to the Portal. Our goal with the Portal is to get a more streamlined experience for all players to find the fun quickly and understand what's next for them to do in Destiny.

Q: Some items were shown at 10 Power in the stream, what’s going on there?!

A: We'll have more details on Power caps and climbs in a future TWID but can confirm that Power will be rebased at launch! All players will have their Power refreshed as we embark on this new journey.

Q: What stats are being rebalanced or replaced?

A: As shown in the stream, many of our stats are being fully rebalanced or changed with The Edge of Fate. While we don’t have exact details to share just yet, we are planning a full breakdown in June, alongside a lengthy article covering sandbox tuning between weapons and abilities.

Q: What comes with the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition?

A: Full details on content, including instant unlock rewards for pre-orders, can be found at https://bung.ie/yop

Q: How much will a Rewards Pass cost during the Year of Prophecy?

A: Each of the four Rewards Passes for this upcoming year will cost 1000 Silver when purchased stand-alone in Eververse. They’re jam packed many of the cosmetics you know and love from years past including an Exotic Weapon and Universal Ornament Set.

The team is aware and are investigating issues where errors are appearing on Bungie.net and companion app when trying to log in, use Fireteam Finder, or utilize the Destiny 2 API to acquire bounties and move items between characters/vault

We'll provide an update once we have a timeline on a fix.

[zenith geyser]

Update: The team was able to find and implement a fix for the errors that were affecting Bungie.net, companion app, and the Destiny 2 API.

Still hitting an issue? Let us know in our Help Forum: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Topics/?tg=Help

Fully Enhanced Adept weapons earned during Rite of the Nine will be somewhat comparable to Tier 3 weapons launching with our new gear tiering system in The Edge of Fate.

Our goal is for Rite of the Nine weapons to give you an edge deep into the new Season.

Future rewards will have new and alternate bonuses to earn, which we will discuss later in June. Stay tuned!

[zenith geyser]

Looks like we missed a patch note. With Update 8.2.6, we fixed an issue where the Sumptuous Repast upgrade within the Reshaping Slab was providing extra damage when consuming Sigil Stones even when the Suffocating Terror debuff wasn't applied. This upgrade now functions as intended.

We're aware of an issue where the Competitive Reward area on Lord Shaxx has been pushed down the page and that rewards cannot be claimed. Once Heavy Metal ends next Friday, players will be able to claim items from this area again.

[zenith geyser]

Heavy Metal

[zenith geyser]

Brigs

[zenith geyser]

Tanks

[zenith geyser]

Heavy Metal is available through this Friday (May 16). Have you earned your Gryphon Combat Sparrow yet?

While we've been sharing some clips from PvE activities, don't forget Sparrow Control (or as we've started calling it... Gryphon Control), which returns on May 27 at reset.

[zenith geyser]

Starting today, our planned Rite of the Nine Dungeon Calendar will be changing. Each Dungeon will be featured for two weeks as opposed to three, and we are increasing Nonary Manifold currency drop rates which can be exchanged for additional weapons. With this change, Ghosts of the Deep will now launch next Tuesday, May 20 followed by Prophecy on June 3.

Alongside the above change, the second week of a given dungeon will also feature increased weapon drops, where rewards can drop from any enemy defeated. Holofoils are included in this as well!

For this week, we are rapidly working on an update that will turn on increased weapon drops in Spire of the Watcher until Ghosts of the Deep becomes the featured Dungeon next week. We'll let you know when that's deployed.

Starting on June 17, all Rite of the Nine Dungeons will be available to play at any time on any difficulty - and increased currency drops will be active for all three dungeons. Each week a featured dungeon will have increased weapon drops. This will begin with Spire of the Watcher on June 17, followed by Ghosts of the Deep on June 24 and ending with Prophecy on July 1.

On July 8, a "lootapalooza" will begin; all three dungeons will have all rewards bonuses enabled for the final week of Episode Heresy alongside a new way to spend your Nonary Manifold currency. We hope this gives all Guardians ample time to hunt for Holofoils and Adepts as they prepare for The Edge of Fate's launch on July 15.

[zenith geyser]

Seeing some questions out there - here's the current Destiny 2 Crucible Calendar, not including weekly playlists:

🌅May 16: Trials of Osiris this weekend.

🪓May 20: Week of Iron Banner with new Scout Rifle reward.

🌇May 30, June 6, and June 13: Three uninterrupted weekends of Trials.

🐺 June 17: Final week of Iron Banner of Heresy.

🌄 June 27, July 4, and July 11: Three uninterrupted weekends of Trials.

🛰️July 15: The Edge of Fate and the Year of Prophecy begin.

[zenith geyser]

Overheard at Bungie: Hierarchy of Needs is looking pretty fun in The Edge of Fate. A tuning pass, you say? Let's talk about that in a future TWID!

Increases to Nonary Manifold currency drops are live. This increase will apply to all Rite of the Nine Dungeons moving forward.

We are currently working to apply weapon reward increases to align with our calendar changes that were discussed yesterday. Once this change is live, Spire of the Watcher weapons will have a chance to drop when defeating enemies within Explore, Eternity, and Ultimatum difficulties of this activity.

Stay tuned for updates.

[zenith geyser]

Rite of the Nine Update: Last night, a change was applied to enable weapon loot drops from enemies defeated within the Spire of the Watcher Dungeon.

This includes chances for Holofoils in Explore mode, and chances for Adepts and Holofoil Adepts at higher difficulties.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Destiny 2 Update 8.2.6.2, the one that fixes Explosive Payload for Aggressive Scouts, are now available:
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_8_2_6_2
Stay tuned for updates on the status of server maintenance.

[zenith geyser]

Players must earn Adept versions of Rite of the Nine gear before they can drop from the rewards chest in exchange for the Nonary Manifolds currency.

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating an issue where players who didn't complete Spire of the Watcher for The Rite of the Nine can't use the lifts in the IX Realm to open the Ghosts of the Deep chest.

[zenith geyser]

We are aware of an issue where the description for Destiny 2: Renegades currently lists Epic Dungeon access within Destiny 2. There will be new pinnacle endgame content that will be released during the Renegades season, but it will not be in the form of an Epic Dungeon difficulty or activity. A fix for the description will be issued on June 3. We look forward to sharing more about this new approach soon.

If you'd like more details on our plans for Raid and Dungeon content during the Year of Prophecy, check out our Developer Insights article from last year: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/raids_and_dungeons

[tribal helm]

When The Edge of Fate expansion launches on July 15, the loot pool for Trials of Osiris will be refreshed to use the new Gear Tiering system with new and reprised loot.

This means that this weekend is the final chance to earn your Exalted Truth (Adept) drops before they leave the Trials of Osiris weapon rotation.

Expect more details starting next week!

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating reports that progress toward the Seeker of the Nine triumph has been reset.

[zenith geyser]

The Edge of Fate begins next month!
As a fun note, we'll be offering a package of Bright Dust within the Eververse each week through launch. We hope you enjoy the small gift alongside the next few weeks of Rite of the Nine.
Good luck with your Holofoil hunts!

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We've determined the root cause of progress resetting for the Seeker of the Nine triumph and are working on a fix. More information will be provided in Thursday's TWID.

[zenith geyser]

We have confirmed that make-good mementos for the Salvation's Edge Raid are now available. Qualifying players will receive an in-game message directing them to the Cryptarch in the Tower to collect.

We understand this took some time to fix, and we appreciate your patience.

As a reminder, Salvation's Edge Memento's can now drop (at a chance) from Normal or Master completions rather than requiring a no-wipe run.

[zenith geyser]

We have auto-completed the Court of Blades Augmentations Seasonal Challenge due to progress not registering when meeting the requirements.

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating an issue where the Legend title is no longer visible to equip or earn. More information will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: A server-side fix has been issued to address the disappearance of the Legend title. Players may need to go to Orbit or restart the game to take the fix and see the title again.

[zenith geyser]

We're aware that the Moments of Triumph 2024 Title has disappeared and are investigating the issue. We'll follow up once we have more information.

[zenith geyser]

We have updated the TWID section about the Combination Blow changes coming with The Edge of Fate. Combination Blow will work with Tempest Strike in PvE at full effect, not with Ascension. Pardon our dust.

[zenith geyser]

Looking at next week:

Tuesday (July 1) Livestream will cover some Kepler gameplay & activities, World Tiers, and details on Portal, Power and Progression. Lots to get through. Tune in at the top for another Developer Insights video!

Then on Thursday (July 3), we'll be diving into the Sandbox with a weapons focused TWID.

• Exotic weapons tuning preview.
• Legendary weapon frame tuning preview.
• Perk tuning preview.

...not to mention a few other bullets of fun topics. Maybe not a record breaker in character length, but it'll be a meaty TWID.

Have a great weekend. We'll see you first thing next week.

[zenith geyser]

Trials is upon us.

This weekend: Cathedral of Dusk. A bit of range on offer before two weeks of closer encounters.
Next weekend: A rotation of three maps.
Final weekend before The Edge of Fate: Another rotation of three maps.

What are your favorites? Let us know in the comments.

[zenith geyser]

Welcome to The Edge of Fashion.

Ran out of time for a Fashion Show on the stream yesterday, but wanted to highlight the new armor sets coming at launch.

First up, our Warlock sporting new Trials of Osiris Armor.
Second, our Hunter has been adorned with Crucible armor.
And finally, our Titan is wearing armor from Pinnacle Ops, coming to the Portal on July 15, 2025.

Note: The blades are on the Titan Mark - will be fun to mix and match with armors from other activities!

[zenith geyser]

Oops...

Let's try that again.

[zenith geyser]

Long TWID tomorrow.

[zenith geyser]

Next Tuesday, celebrate the last week of Heresy and Rite of the Nine with us.

9️⃣ Increased Holofoil weapons from Rite of the Nine's dungeons.
👁️ Increased Heretical weapons from The Nether and Court of Blades.

Happy hunting!

[zenith geyser]

Starting with The Edge of Fate, Trials of Osiris will no longer be power enabled. While we will still have a required power level of 200 to enter, combat will not be affected by your Guardian's power.

We hope this makes Trials more approachable to a wider audience while still maintaining a competitive feel through the Passage system, maps, and mode on offer.

As a final note: Trials access requires ownership of the most recent Destiny 2 expansion; Starting July 15, players will be required to own The Edge of Fate in order to play Trials of Osiris.

[zenith geyser]

Open Access to Episodes Echoes, Revenant, and Heresy is now available for all players until July 15.

All rewards, Titles, Triumphs, and cosmetics earned from the Episodes during the Open Access period will remain on accounts after July 15.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue, we have disabled the daily bonus Nonary Engram available at the Emissary. We are currently investigating a fix.

Players may still earn up to 20 Nonary Engrams to purchase for Nonary Manifolds through July 15, 2025.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: The issue affecting the daily bonus Nonary Engram has been resolved.

Players can now log in and visit the Emissary to claim the bonus engram every day until July 15.

We are investigating options to send players one bonus engram sometime after Edge of Fate launches due to yesterday's pause and will provide details when available.

[zenith geyser]

As noted in the TWID today, completing the Edge of Fate Campaign at Legendary Difficulty will get you Contest ready for The Desert Perpetual Raid on July 19, 2025.

Max power within Contest difficulty will be 100.

For additional information regarding Contest difficulty, our World First race, or rules for competition, check the TWID here: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid_07_10_2025

[zenith geyser]

Final Trials weekend before The Edge of Fate begins in one hour.

Jav-4. Burnout. Endless Vale.

Patch note preview: Night will fall upon Solitude on July 15. This should help reduce glare when looking outside from the interior spaces. Expect the map to return to Trials rotation in the future.

Happy hunting, Guardians.

[zenith geyser]

Saint-14 will see you again soon, Guardians. Trials of Osiris will return at reset on August 1, 2025.

🌞 New Armor Sets and Set Bonuses to mix/match.
⚔️ New Weapons and perks to earn.

Until then, we'll be keeping you busy with launch. The Edge of Fate is just a day away.

[zenith geyser]

Happy The Edge of Fate launch day, everyone. Patch notes for Destiny 2 Update 9.0.0.1 are now available. Stay tuned for updates on the status of server maintenance. https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_0_0_1

[zenith geyser]

With today's launch, here are some emergent issues we're tracking:

❖ Players receive WEASEL errors when launching into PvP playlists. To mitigate this, you can launch PvP from The Portal instead.

❖ PlayStation 5 users are experiencing intermittent audio issues.

❖ Some players using 4K displays have issues getting past the login screen. As a workaround, lowering the screen resolution can help resolve this issue, and we've seen success deleting/resetting the CVARS file. Instructions to do that can be found here:
https://help.bungie.net/articles/360049202131

More known issues: https://help.bungie.net/articles/39007140765204

[zenith geyser]

Players having issues attacking with Matterspark may need to map and/or update their Vehicle Primary Weapon Fire button in their Settings

[zenith geyser]

Reminder: Contest Mode for The Desert Perpetual raid begins on July 19 at 10 AM PT. Contest Mode is set at 100 Power. Completing The Edge of Fate's campaign at Legendary difficulty will get you contest ready.

We do have one update to the experience to highlight: Previous expansions would provide a chest upon completion to give players a set of gear to raise them to a specific power level. For The Edge of Fate, players should expect to reach 100 Power simply through end of activity drops at Legendary difficulty, no additional chest required.

Note that Side Quests and Ability Chests on Kepler will also reward Powerful gear, you can complete these during or after the Campaign on any World Tier. However, by just doing the Legendary Campaign Missions you will be Power ready for Contest Mode.

The Edge of Fate // July 15, 2025

🚀 bung.ie/teof

[zenith geyser]

Hey all, welcome to day 2 of The Edge of Fate!

As we continue to process feedback, we'll be shooting out some clarifications and additional information to help players better understand many of the changes to core systems within Destiny 2.

First up: Ammo! We've seen some feedback regarding ammo bricks. In the new system, ammo bricks drop more frequently and consistently than before when defeating enemies but contain less ammo per brick. If you are feeling short of ammo, there are some buildcrafting options you can leverage to increase your ammo drops/amounts per drop:

• All weapons except Swords have an Ammo Generation stat, which influences how much they contribute to the Ammo Meters
• You can improve the Ammo Generation stat using the Ammo Generation armor mods (Chest), or the Bandolier or Abundant Ammo mods on the weapon itself
  ⁠- Finder mods (Head) directly scale all gains to the meter for the corresponding ammo type, and can stack up to 3x
• Scavengers (Legs) grant extra ammo on pickups for matched weapons
• The newly introduced Weapon stat from 100-200 also offers an escalating chance for ammo bricks to contain additional ammo, and your chance can be seen on the inspection screen

We are also investigating a few weapons that are receiving less ammunition than intended (some Area-Denial Grenade Launchers, Rocket Sidearms, Bipod Rocket Launchers). Once we have details on a fix, we'll let you know.

Thank you to all who have been providing feedback! We'll have more comms through the day covering changes to systems, known issues, and workarounds.

We are continuing to investigate issues impacting audio during combat.

We will provide updates when more details are available.

For our full list of tracked issues, please visit our Known Issues and Vital Information page on Bungie.net:

https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/39007140765204-Destiny-2-Year-8-Known-Issues-and-Vital-Information

[zenith geyser]

We are aware of an issue impacting the Competitive playlist where players are placed in higher ranks than intended after completing their placement matches.

We will provide updates when more information is available.

[zenith geyser]

24 hours into launch, here are a few more top issues we are tracking:

❖ Some players can be blocked from launching Edge of Fate missions if error coded or leaving midway. A temporary workaround is to join a player who has access to the mission, and they launch into it.
❖ PS5 users are experiencing intermittent audio issues.
❖ PS4 users are experiencing a high volume of error codes and crashes.
❖ Matterspark is causing visual flickering on ultrawide aspect ratios.
❖ Players are reporting experiencing motion sickness while using Matterspark.

More known issues: https://help.bungie.net/articles/39007140765204

[zenith geyser]

We are investigating an issue where Third Iteration is doing more damage than intended when paired with Anti-barrier mods and abilities.

A fix will be implemented in the future to bring it more in line with other Exotic anti-champ interactions.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue, Conquest activities have been disabled until a fix can be deployed at a later date.

[zenith geyser]

We are actively investigating an issue where creating a new character will wipe the Unstable Cores players have already earned.

We recommend players not create new, alternate characters at this time while we investigate a solution.

More information will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

Hey all. As we continue investigating issue reports, we have identified root causes for many and are planning our resolution deployment timelines.
Dates and fixes are subject to change based on test validation.

Before Saturday, July 19 - Targeting fixes for:
🛠️ The Edge of Fate campaign blocker on 2nd or 3rd characters.
🛠️ Unstable Cores getting wiped on alternate character creation.
🛠️ Additional Xbox crash issues.

9.0.0.3: Tuesday, July 22 - Targeting fixes for:
🛠️ Incorrect ammo gains on Area-Denial Grenade Launchers, Rocket Sidearms, and Rocket Launchers with the Bipod perk.
🛠️ Additional Kepler-related soft-locks and crashes.
🛠️ Third Iteration Scout Rifle.

9.0.0.4: Tuesday, July 29 - Targeting fixes for:
🛠️ Matterspark motion sickness and visual improvements.
🛠️ Holofoil visuals unintentionally changing.
🛠️ Tangled Web perk not suspending Champions.

We are still investigating the following high-priority issues and will provide target fix dates when available.
🛠️ Leaving The Edge of Fate missions early prevents players from relaunching them.
🛠️ Audio issues on PlayStation 5 consoles.
🛠️ PlayStation 4 consoles crash when entering the Tower.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: A server-side update has been deployed to address the following:

🛠️ Players can now complete The Edge of Fate campaign on alternate characters.

🛠️ Unstable Cores will no longer get removed from inventories when alternate characters are created.

Our known issue list has also been updated with the latest issues we're investigating: https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/39007140765204-Destiny-2-Year-8-Known-Issues-and-Vital-Information

[zenith geyser]

We have identified an issue where the Encore mission is substantially easier to complete, and dropping higher quantities of rewards, than intended within Pinnacle Ops.

As such, we have disabled the Encore mission within Pinnacle Ops and the "Grappler" modifier within the Portal. These will be re-enabled at a future date.

We will provide additional details when available.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue, the Spirit of the Liar Armor Perk has been disabled.

More information on a fix will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

The Crucible's Cutting Edge: Clash playlist needs more time in the oven than originally thought.

We're targeting next Tuesday, July 22, as the launch date for the playlist.

[zenith geyser]

Re: Bright Dust and Pathfinder
We are going to add an infinite grind source for Bright Dust, and pair it with a make-good grant in an upcoming update.

In our effort to reduce friction to playing activities, we chose to retire the core game Pathfinder in favor of simpler Daily objectives with an improved and unlimited mini-objective system planned for release in Renegades later this year. Knowing we were removing the infinite grind source until Renegades, we rebalanced Bright Dust awards to be larger for most players. It's clear that many players also value having the additional grind source, so we will add an interim replacement in the short term.

[zenith geyser]

We are going to revert the desaturation of the World tab in an upcoming update.

During development, we had feedback that players were confused between the Portal and World tabs for where to find core game activities. Many gravitated to the familiar Director UI, so we chose to visually adjust it, but it is clear now that we overreacted to that feedback.

Our intention going forward is for the Portal tab to serve as a quick access point to core game activities, and for the World tab to support exploration of the Destiny world. Both are important to us, and we will continue to upgrade both.

[zenith geyser]

Earlier today, Destiny 2 Update 9.0.0.2 shipped on all platforms. This patch included a fix to address crashing issues on Xbox platforms.

Additional details can be found here:https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_2_update_9_0_0_2

If you are continuing to encounter any crashes, error codes, or alternate issues, please post a report on our Help Forums: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Topics/?tg=Help&tSort=1&tType=0&d=0&lang=en

[zenith geyser]

The Encore Exotic Mission within Pinnacle Ops has been re-enabled.

Reminder: With Destiny 2 Update 9.0.0.2, the following changes were made:

• Reduced the number of Scored Engrams from Encore completions from 4-3.
• Bonus Drops from Portal activities have an increased chance of being +1 Power when players are between 300 and 400 Power.
• Due to an issue, Grandmaster difficulty tiers are currently disabled. (These will be re-enabled in a future update.)

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_2_update_9_0_0_2

[zenith geyser]

We will be making changes to Matterspark soon to reduce motion sickness and visual issues.

Until then, players can change specific Settings that may help reduce these issues. Please view our guide for more information:

A strange device planted on the edge of Unknown Space emits a warning cackle.

Normal mode for The Desert Perpetual Raid is now available.

Visit Dean Rebecca on Kepler to begin.

[zenith geyser]

We've been investigating reports that ability regen was not recharging at the rates communicated in a previous TWID following the 9.0.0.1 update. Many thanks to our community sleuths who discovered this issue and brought it to our attention.

Right now, the ability stats (Grenade, Melee, Class, and Super) are returning less ability energy than stated in our previous communications.

We had previously stated that hitting 70 in an ability stat in the Edge of Fate was equivalent to pre-Edge of Fate values (for Discipline, Strength, each class's ability regen stat, and Intellect), and that going above 70 stat would result in faster recharging than before. This isn't currently true for the 70 stat mark but the 85 stat mark, and we intend to make it true for 70 stat in an upcoming patch.

Our design goal for the Edge of Fate stats is to let players be able to reach higher heights than previously possible in the game by investing heavier into specific stats, but also have interesting tradeoffs when making build crafting choices. Making 70 stat one of the big tradeoff points is important for our design goals and for meeting player expectations for buildcrafting in the Edge of Fate.

A full breakdown of how the stats are being corrected will be shared in the accompanying patch notes (above is the simplified version). Suffice it to say, mistakes were made and we're sorry for the accidental confusion here. We intend to make it right quickly. Once again, we appreciate the members of the community who noticed this discrepancy and pushed it forward for our attention.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Destiny 2 Update 9.0.0.3 are now available:
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_2_update_9_0_0_3
Stay tuned for updates on the status of server maintenance.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We have deployed a server-side update to address PlayStation 4 console crashes.

As a short-term mitigation, we have temporarily swapped the appearances of armor pieces known to cause crashes for other, existing armor. Once we are able to verify and release a full fix for the issue's root cause, this change will be reverted.

We are additionally investigating a different crash type where PS4 users are unable to log in to Destiny 2. Players who continue to experience crashing issues are advised to fully uninstall Destiny 2, then reinstall without downloading compatibility packs 1, 2, and 3. Information on how to manage your compatibility packs can be found here: https://help.bungie.net/articles/4418283682708

If you continue to experience issues, report them to our Help Forum so that we can continue investigating: http://bung.ie/destiny2help

[zenith geyser]

We have resolved an issue where players who played through "The Invitation" on Classic difficulty were unable to go back and replay it on Legendary, blocking them from earning the Legendary campaign completion Exotic. We have auto-completed the requirement for this mission for everyone.

Players who were unable to earn their Exotic armor piece due to this issue should be able to claim it from the Altar of Relativity.

[zenith geyser]

We are investigating reports of cheating with fireteams who cleared The Desert Perpetual Contest mode.

Breaking our Code of Conduct and/or cheating to complete contest difficulty or other activities is a bannable offense, and players benefiting from cheating can also be subject to punishment.

[zenith geyser]

We've been watching feedback the past few weeks focused on Raid and Dungeon difficulty. The following changes are being planned for future updates:

• We will be updating the difficulty for Legacy Raid and Dungeon activities to address player feedback.
  • The Combat Difficulty Delta for normal and master modes will be reduced by 10
• We will also be updating difficulty and the "Combined Mastery" Triumph in the Desert Perpetual Raid to address player feedback.
  • Base Combat Difficulty Delta will be lowered by 10: Enemies will deal less damage and players will be able to deal more damage.
  • We will be lowering the Cutthroat Combat Raid Feat, specifically the Combat Difficulty Delta, by 10
    • Was +40 combatant power, will be +30 combatant power.
  • We will be lowering the "Combined Mastery" Triumph to only require a single completion at base difficulty, which will upgrade Gear rewards by one tier depending on number of feats active
  • Example: Instead of getting a T1 reward, you'll get a T2 reward. Layering on additional feats will increase difficulty but also help you get to T3 rewards and beyond.

We're currently testing these changes and aiming to release them in Update 9.0.0.5 and will update you if anything changes.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Destiny 2 Update 9.0.0.4 are now available:

Ikora's final Kepler side quest, "Declassification," is now available to complete, along with the "Kepler Tasks" triumph. This quest was held back on launch due to an issue that has now been resolved. Today's patch notes have been updated to include this fix.

[zenith geyser]

We are investigating an issue with the Blackletter armor ornaments. We have temporarily disabled these ornaments until this issue can be resolved.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: Due to an issue where the appearance for the Blackletter Warlock armor was not appearing in-game, we have temporarily removed the ability for Warlocks to purchase the set from the Eververse store. We have also temporarily changed the set's appearance for players who have already acquired and equipped the ornaments.

Once the fix for the underlying issue has been made, this set will have its expected appearance, with the temporary appearance removed, and the ability for Warlocks to purchase the set will be re-enabled.

[zenith geyser]

We are working with our partners to investigate an issue where The Edge of Fate expansion cannot be accessed after purchasing the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition through the PlayStation Store.

We ask that affected customers do not try and purchase The Edge of Fate expansion separately while we are working to resolve the issue.

We will provide another update as soon as possible.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We have resolved the issue where PlayStation purchases of the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition since July 29th were not granting access to The Edge of Fate campaign.

Players who were in this state should now have access to the expansion as expected, and this issue will not affect purchases of this edition going forward. If you are still experiencing this issue, please fully log out of Destiny 2 and re-enter the game to receive the expansion access.

[zenith geyser]

We have resolved an issue where XP for the Arms Week event was not being granted upon activity completion within the Portal.

Players will now be able to progress through the Arms Week event reward track by completing activities in the Portal as intended, in addition to completing the Daily and Weekly challenges.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue where Dead Messenger can output more damage than intended in PvP activities, it has been disabled within those activities until a fix can be deployed in a future update.

[zenith geyser]

We have issued a ban wave against fireteams who were found cheating during The Desert Perpetual Contest Mode. This ban wave includes players who benefitted from cheaters in their fireteam.

Breaking our Community Code of Conduct — including cheating during contest difficulty or other activities — is a bannable offense, and players intentionally benefiting from cheating can also be subject to punishment.

For details: https://bungie.net/codeofconduct

If you suspect someone has cheated, please submit a report to our contact form: https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049497451-Report-Suspected-Cheating-and-Poor-Behavior

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.0.0.6 are now available: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_0_0_6

[zenith geyser]

Crucible Reward Changes
As part of the overall goal to improve the feeling of rewards and progression across the Portal, we're in the process of updating Crucible rewards across all playlists.
Earlier today we shipped Destiny 2 Update 9.0.0.6 with a handful of changes to target post-match rewards frequencies, and have more changes planned for September to focus on Power & Progression in Update 9.1.0.
Update 9.0.0.6 went live today, and we fixed some issues and raised the reward floor to have less disparity between low and high skill:

• Everyone in a match now has a chance to earn an additional roll, as opposed to 1 player per team.
• The Competitive playlist weapon (Solemn Remembrance) has a chance to drop on completion instead of wins
• Lowered B-grade score threshold for reward ranks Copper and Bronze (power 10-300)
• This makes it easier to earn Bonus Drops and Bonus Focus rewards in PvP.
• Increased gear tier for B+ at reward ranks Bronze and Silver (power 200-400)
  In Update 9.1.0, we are making Crucible Ops more rewarding for all players, along with targeted adjustments for early power bands:
• Increasing Bonus Drop frequency when playing Crucible Ops
• Increasing the amount of score earned on losses
• Re-tuning score thresholds for all grades at reward ranks Copper and Bronze (power 10-300) to make earning higher power and gear tier more consistent
• Increasing the highest potential gear tier at reward ranks Copper, Bronze, and Silver (power 10-400)
• Increasing power adjustors for PvP (power 10-300)
• Increasing chances for Prime Engrams
  We'll have more details about PvE rewards changes in the future, including the Desert Perpetual raid. Stay tuned!

[zenith geyser]

We’re investigating an issue where Crucible matches are not consistently rewarding Tier 5 gear once players have reached 450 Power. This is an unintentional side effect of fixing an issue where sometimes loot would not drop at all.

We will provide additional details when available.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We have deployed a server-side fix to resolve the issue where Crucible matches would not drop Tier 5 gear for players who had reached 450 Power.

We're continuing to monitor reward drops in the Portal.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue where the Cross Counter perk on Liar's Handshake can activate from all damage sources, it has been disabled in all Crucible activities.

[zenith geyser]

As we continue to process feedback from our most recent TWID, we have a change regarding our plans for Prime Engrams to announce today.

We will be reverting the previously announced change for Destiny 2 Update 9.1.0 that would require players to decrypt Prime Engrams in the Tower.

We still believe there's work to be done in highlighting these drops so players can understand and celebrate when getting rare, higher-tier, or powerful loot drops and will share more details when our plans are solidified.

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating an issue where players who have the Gladius armor ornament set equipped on PS4, or the PS4 version of D2 while playing on PS5, will crash if they enter Portal activities.

Those affected are recommended to unequip the ornaments until the issue is resolved.

[zenith geyser]

We've been working through player feedback from the previous TWID and reassessing our announced rewards updates for the Portal. We will be reverting the following changes which were planned for Destiny 2 Update 9.1.0:

• Planned reductions to Power earned for a given grade within Solo Ops will be reverted
• Planned reductions of Engrams earned in Encore, Starcrossed, and Whisper will be reverted

We will have additional information in the TWID regarding next steps in improving rewards for Portal experiences.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: To mitigate PlayStation 4 and 5 console crashes, we have temporarily swapped the appearance of the Gladius Mark armor ornament for Titans.

This change will be reverted once we are able to release a full fix for the issue in an upcoming patch.

[zenith geyser]

Correction: In today's TWID, we incorrectly said that the Titan's Void Aspect, Bastion, would have a faster cooldown in PvP - this is incorrect. Bastion will have a faster cooldown in PvE.

The TWID has been updated with the correction.

[zenith geyser]

While we continue to investigate reports that the Double Bonus Focus modifier may not be correctly rewarding players as expected, we have swapped the Portal activity bonus to the Score Multiplier Accelerator for the remainder of this week.

Additionally, we have made a change so that any event modifier can be toggled off in the Boon and Event Modifiers menu. This will allow players to freely select what modifiers they can apply to their activities even when a featured event is active.

[zenith geyser]

Based on player feedback, we have disabled the Grappler modifier in all Portal activities.

In a future update, the modifier will return only as a selectable option when customizing activities.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue where the Score Accelerator in the Portal wasn't correctly forecasting scores, it has been disabled until a fix can be deployed at a later date.

The intention of this accelerator being active was to mitigate the issue where, when a surge was active, it would block players from using the Famine modifier and obtaining Guardian Rank 8. To ensure that still won't occur, there will be no surges next week.

We appreciate everyone's patience as we've attempted to resolve these issues.

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating issues where launching Heavy Metal from the Tower node drops blue gear and older legendary gear. Until we can disable the node, we recommend launching the activity from the Portal.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: The Heavy Metal launch node on the Tower map has been removed. Players can still access this activity via Crucible Ops or the Heavy Metal Event Home.

[zenith geyser]

Update to the TWID: We've been informed that the "4 Piece | Too Old For This" set bonus was incorrect due to a bad build. The real set bonus is, "Defeating a powerful combatant with a Finisher grants you Special ammo progress and replenishes a small amount of health."

This information has been updated in the TWID.

[zenith geyser]

We are aware of an issue where some Armor pieces are displaying an incorrect stat instead of its power level. This is a visual bug and will not affect the gear's performance.

This issue will be resolved in update 9.1.0.1, planned to deploy next Tuesday.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue where inspecting the Holofoil versions of the Folded Root and Romantic Death weapons are causing crashes on Xbox, we have temporarily disabled the Holofoil versions of those weapons.

We are actively pursuing temporarily changing the visuals of these weapons as soon as possible so that players can equip them without crashing. In addition, we will be reverting these changes back to their expected look as soon as we have identified and resolved the root cause.

[zenith geyser]

We have deployed a mitigation for an issue causing players to soft-lock in the Reclaim activity when moving to a new zone. Players will now be able to self-revive, and additional revive tokens are granted when transitioning.

Additionally, we will be fixing the root issue causing players to die when moving to new zones next week in Update 9.1.0.1.

We are investigating an issue where the Obsidian Durasteel, Cyborg Nemesis and Marauder Progeny universal ornaments cannot be equipped.
These ornaments are still on your account and will be available again after we issue a fix in a future update.

[zenith geyser]

We are temporarily disabling the slow capture ruleset for Collision in competitive due to an issue where it is affecting the scoring in Clash.

This should fix an issue where Clash matches were finishing with a score of 7.

We are investigating an issue where players with a full Consumables inventory will not receive Chronologs when purchasing Archived Passes.

Players are advised to ensure that they have at least one open slot in the Consumables inventory to receive the currency before purchasing an Archived Pass.

We will be granting players who have encountered this issue their missing Chronologs at a later date.

[zenith geyser]

We are investigating reports of issues regarding power and progression within the Portal. We will provide additional details when possible.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We have temporarily swapped the visuals on the Holofoil versions of the Folded Root and Romantic Death weapons to prevent Xbox crashes, and have re-enabled them for players to equip. They will be reverted back to their intended visuals once we have resolved the root cause.

Please note that the weapon icon will still indicate if a drop is a Holofoil that will have the correct appearance in a future update

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue where the Orchestral Performance Seasonal Challenge could not be completed in Portal activities, we have auto-completed this challenge for all players.

[zenith geyser]

We are investigating issues where some armor set pieces, ornaments, emotes, and finishers have higher than intended Bright Dust and Silver prices in the Eververse.

Please know that any Bright Dust or Silver amount paid above the intended price will be reimbursed to player accounts in a future release after the issues are resolved.

[zenith geyser]

We are seeing feedback from PvP players that Graviton Spike and spreadshot Hand Cannons still feel too oppressive to play against.

We are currently exploring additional tuning changes to bring them down in PvP while trying to avoid knock on effects in PvE. We'll share more details once we have these tested and locked for a future update.

[zenith geyser]

We have deployed a Live Update to improve portal rewards and scoring.

Players may need to sign out and sign back in for changes to take effect.

Details: bung.ie/4gjbOZP

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue, we are temporarily disabling the Sturm Exotic Hand Cannon in Trials of Osiris.

[zenith geyser]

We've heard your feedback on the current Iron Banner armor set as well as the overall state of unique and compelling earned rewards. The overall balance in paid and earned armor cosmetics is off for this season and we're aiming to adjust our approach to earned rewards in the future.

In the short term, today we will be changing the visuals of Iron Banner's Iron Beryllium set to instead use those of the upcoming Ancient Majesty set, shown here. The Iron Beryllium set's original visuals will be available in a later update. The Ancient Majesty set will now become the Iron Banner set and will not be made purchasable on the Eververse store. There will be a temporary issue where the gear will still show the Iron Beryllium set's original icons - we will fix this in a future patch. We also note that the theme of the set's name and Set Bonuses may not match the new visuals - we'll aim to update this as well.

In addition to last week's incremental Ash & Iron reward increases, we're also working on bigger improvements to progression via the Portal on top of the Update 9.1.0.1 changes going live today. We will share additional information about these efforts in this week's TWID on Thursday.

Expect additional communication over these next few weeks as well as a roadmap to communicate how we will roll these plans out over time.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.1.0.1, the one about Portal timers and more, are now available:
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_1_0_1

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating reports that inspecting weapons in the Iron Banner Event Home causes freezing issues on Xbox consoles. Until we can ship out a fix, we recommend Xbox players not inspect Iron Banner weapons. More information will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

We are investigating an issue where players are unable to respawn in Solo Ops activities after dying. We are attempting to solve this issue as soon as we're able. More information will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We have deployed a fix for the issue preventing players from respawning in Solo Ops. Please note that revive tokens are not working as intended in the Reclaim activity - the team is working to resolve this.

Additionally, due to Widow's Court Onslaught rewarding fewer engrams than intended, the game mode has been temporarily disabled in the Portal until we can resolve that issue.

Finally, the weapons in Iron Banner's Event Home are acquirable again, but drops will no longer display their holofoil until a fix can be deployed at a later date.

[zenith geyser]

As lightweight swords are generating a lot more damage than intended due to a gameplay bug, we'll be temporarily disabling them tomorrow with a Live Update.

Until then, enjoy The Slashening. ⚔️

[zenith geyser]

We've prepared a fix for the Lightweight Swords issue. To avoid disabling them, we'll be deploying the fix in the September 23 update instead of a Live Update today.

Get your swings in for a few more days!

[zenith geyser]

We have further reduced the score total required to earn Tier 5 rewards down to 1,150,000 (at 450 Power or above).

[zenith geyser]

We have deployed a Live Update and made the following changes:

Fixed an issue where Widows Court was not dropping the correct number of rewards.

Added an additional base rewards drop to the following Fireteam and Pinnacle activities:

• Battleground: Behemoth
• Battleground: Core
• Reclaim: Cabal's Watch
• Reclaim: Conductor's Keep
• Reclaim: Fallen Bunker
• Exotic Mission: Node Avalon
• Exotic Mission: Presage
• Dungeon: Beneath the Necropolis
• Dungeon: Hefnd's Vengeance
• Dungeon: Nightmare of Gahlran

[zenith geyser]

The Desert Perpetual Epic Raid contest mode opens this Saturday at 10:00 AM PT.

Guardians seeking to take on this challenge are recommended to have a minimum of 300 Power, as less Power will deal reduced damage against the epic difficulty foes found in the raid.

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating an issue where players who put Chronologs into the Vault lose any additional claimed Chronologs.

At this time, we recommend not putting any Chronologs in the Vault, and to take any out if some were put in there.

More information will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.1.0.2, the one about raid and dungeon Exotics and more, are now available:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_1_0_2

[zenith geyser]

Trials of Osiris returns this Friday in addition to The Desert Perpetual Epic Raid World First Race kicking off on Saturday.

Not only will Trials feature a returning fusion rifle but this weekend will also feature three beloved maps.

Check out tomorrow's TWID for full details.

[zenith geyser]

Congratulations to Clan Elysium on their World First completion of The Desert Perpetual Epic Raid!

🏆 Saltagreppo
🏆 Quazz
🏆 Vendetta
🏆 VileFate
🏆 OG
🏆 jiffe

[zenith geyser]

To address player feedback over Crucible balance, we have temporarily disabled the Threadling Proliferation artifact perk in PvP.

We will provide more details when available.

[zenith geyser]

Just added to the TWID: We are partnering with AbilityPoints to honor National Disability Employment Awareness Month and introducing a new emblem: Hope Hues.

TWID here: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid_10_02_2025

[zenith geyser]

Reminder, in the upcoming 9.1.5 Update, the following activities will be moving to Pinnacle Ops - Onslaught: Widow's Court, Onslaught: Midtown, The Coil, and Contest of Elders.

Make sure you earn any accumulated Bonus Engrams on those activities before this change hits on Tuesday, October 7.

[zenith geyser]

As we continue to develop Power and Progression changes for Destiny 2: Renegades, we'd like to announce the following changes:

• Seasonal Power will now carry over into Season 28 in December. There will not be a Seasonal Power reset as in past Seasons.
• Additionally, your Unstable Cores will carry over into Season 28.
• Beginning next week, a catch-up will be available to boost players to 300 Power.

We will provide additional information on these changes (and more) in the TWID on Thursday

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.1.5, the one about Heliostat and more, are now available:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_1_5

[zenith geyser]

With the release of Update 9.1.5, here are some of the top issues we are investigating:

❖ Changes previously made to activity difficulty have been unintentionally reverted, making some Portal activities more difficult than intended.
❖ Breaking Vex crystals in the Heliostat mission is not granting Wolfsbane intrinsics to all players in the fireteam.
❖ The Vault from Inventory function is not working when using a controller.
❖ The Whirling Ovation catalyst is not dropping as intended.

More known issues: https://help.bungie.net/articles/39007140765204

[zenith geyser]

We have identified an issue where Arms Week Event Challenges are currently advertising incorrect reward totals. Upon completion, players will earn 10 tokens per Daily challenge, and 90 tokens for the Weekly challenge.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We have resolved an issue introduced yesterday where the Combatant Power Delta for matchmade Portal activities was unintentionally increased. These activity difficulties have been brought back to where they were prior to Update 9.1.5.

As a reminder, we will be making additional changes to Portal activity difficulty next week in Update 9.1.5.1. More information can be found here: https://bung.ie/4mwHZXu

[zenith geyser]

We have auto-completed the second Avalon Pinnacle Op data pad objective in the Pinnacle Missives Discovered - III Seasonal Challenge.

Players who were blocked from completing this challenge will now be able to claim it.

[zenith geyser]

Update regarding Unstable Cores:

Last week, we announced that Unstable Cores would not reset with the launch of Destiny 2: Renegades on December 2, 2025. We noted in the TWID that we would provide future updates on how we would rebalance the economy of this currency.

We have landed on a plan to fully deprecate this currency. Once deprecated, infusion will cost an amount of Enhancement Cores and Glimmer.

Overall, we've found that Unstable Cores have been too restrictive across power levels and fail to drive interesting buildcraft decisions, whether they be powering up through Campaign missions and wanting to try different weapons, or going into Endgame content and looking to infuse lower-level gear to higher power levels.

We don't have an exact patch for this change just yet but are working rapidly to align on a target date. In the short term, we have two items of note shipping tomorrow with Destiny 2 Update 9.1.5.1. Our goal is to help players with smaller amounts of Unstable Cores infuse gear alongside Power and Progression changes going live tomorrow until the currency can be retired:

• We have added a one-time reward of 777,777 Unstable Cores to the catch-up chest that will be available in the Tower tomorrow at reset. We highly recommend signing in and using these before they're removed!
• We are shipping a minor change that reduces the number of Unstable Cores needed for infusion at higher power levels until they are deprecated.

We will provide additional updates when available.

[zenith geyser]

[zenith geyser]

Festival of the Lost begins today! We have one quick update regarding rewards before our spooky event kicks off. Last week, we noted that players could earn up to two bonus Eerie Engrams per day from Portal Activities. To get more treats in your hands, we're increasing the cap. We initially thought 777 would be a good target but landed upon... 99,999.

Effectively, no cap! No tricks. Just treats.

Completing Portal activities has a high chance to treat you to Festival of the Lost bonus engrams, spread around and earnable in other Portal activities. While the best way to get themed loot and additional bonus drops will be through Haunted Altars or Red Rumble, we wanted to make sure players could partake in Festival of the Lost goodies no matter what activity they choose to engage with within the Portal.

See you soon. Hope you're hungry for some candy...

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.1.5.2, the one about Infusion Costs and more, are now available:
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_1_5_2

[zenith geyser]

We are actively looking into an issue where the Headless One boss cannot take damage in Haunted Altars.

Want to fill your candy buckets in the interim? Use this workaround: in the first phase of the boss fight, wait the 10 seconds until the Shriekers close, and then complete the damage phase to avoid the soft lock.

Thanks for your patience while we work to resolve this.

[zenith geyser]

As we continue to investigate issues causing soft locks in Haunted Altars, we have made the decision to extend Festival of the Lost by one week. This event will now run until reset on November 11, 2025.

We will provide additional updates and fix timelines as they become available.

[zenith geyser]

Update on Festival of the Lost Bonus Engrams and Soft-Lock.

We have resolved an issue where players were not earning Festival of the Lost Bonus Engrams from PvP activities. All Crucible Ops should now be awarding these Bonus Engrams alongside the rest of the Portal.

Additionally, as we continue to investigate soft-lock issues in Haunted Altars, we have temporarily disabled Join In Progress for those activities to reduce the frequency of players launching into runs that have already locked.

As a reminder, Festival of the Lost will now run until reset on November 11, 2025.

[zenith geyser]

Upon investigation, we have found a cause of soft locks occurring in high difficulty Portal activities was an issue that could occasionally break behavior of the Limited Revives modifier. This will be fixed tomorrow with Update 9.1.5.3. We will continue to monitor for additional issues after this fix is released.

This update also has fixes for players getting blocked when transitioning to a new Altars wave as well as on the final boss when going through the first damage phase too quickly.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.1.5.4, the one that fixes Expeditions https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_1_5_4

[zenith geyser]

Due to the Clash playlist not currently being available, we have autocompleted this week's Superfluous Seasonal Challenge for all players.

[zenith geyser]

We've heard your feedback regarding this week's featured map for Trials. The map has been updated to Javelin-4.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.1.5.5, the one about Liminality and more, are now available:

[zenith geyser]

Thank you for joining us for the first day of Call to Arms!

We've been watching the conversation and feedback around rewards, activities, and modifiers for the event. Expect details on some changes based on your feedback in the coming days.

Meanwhile, be sure to claim your Daily Shipment of gear from Devrim in the Tower! Earning Competitor Points in Call to Arms activities will increase how many rewards you receive.

[zenith geyser]

We appreciate the constructive feedback you've been sharing in the day since Call to Arms started. The team has been working to address the following items:

We've deployed the following changes and fixes as a live update:

• Set the Salt Mines activity to only have Taken combatants (not rotate between Dread and Taken) during the Call to Arms event to maintain a consistent experience when earning points in Solo Ops runs.
• Removed Cutting Edge as a requirement in all Crucible modes to invite further buildcrafting in the PvP environment.
• Fixed Zone Control mode not recording a player's higher scores after their first registered score.
• Fixed an issue where the Iron Banner quest Testament of Strength was overriding the Call to Arms event quest.

More improvements are planned for upcoming live updates:

• Remove Power Multipliers as a scoring factor in PvE and PvP activities. This means that players at 500 Power can earn the same scores as those at 550 Power if they execute properly within the activity.
• Change Boons to add 0 red or green triangles; Players will be able to choose any Boon without impacting their overall score.
• Change all gear player stakes to add 5 green triangles in Call to Arms activities, matching "All Bows". Our goal is to give players the opportunity for more variety in selecting modifiers during this competition.

The team is also actively investigating the following:

• We are looking into increasing Revive Token quantities in The Coil activity.
• We are investigating reports of enemies remaining immune even after all shield drones have been destroyed.

We will continue to monitor feedback as the event progresses and provide updates on our plans.

[zenith geyser]

Thanks for your continued feedback on our first Call to Arms event, Guardians. We've deployed a live update that introduces the following changes.

• Tuned scoring so that the lower Power you are, the more of a boost you will get to your Call to Arms score to offset the score impact of Power.
  -- We expect this to mitigate most but not all of the advantage that Power currently conveys. This should broaden the competition by elevating players who can quickly complete activities with difficult modifiers while still giving high Power players an edge.
  -- For example, with the right activity modifiers, a 300 Power player playing on Master difficulty could earn what is comparable to a Top 30% score today and a 400 Power player playing on Grandmaster difficulty could earn what is comparable to a Top 10% score today.
  -- Note: For players under 550 Power, be aware that your Call to Arms score will not exactly match your Portal Reward score.
• Changed Boons to add 0 red triangles. Players will be able to choose any Boon without impacting their overall score.
• Changed all gear player stakes to add 5 green triangles in Call to Arms activities, matching "All Bows". Our goal is to give players the opportunity for more variety in selecting modifiers during this competition.
• Removed the Protected modifier (those pesky drones) from all Call to Arms activities. The score from that modifier has been added to the Close Danger Trade-off modifier.

We will be listening for your input on these Call to Arms changes. Be sure to claim your Daily Shipment of gear from Devrim in the Tower!

[zenith geyser]

We have discovered an issue in Renegades where players who preview or have loadouts with Wormgod Caress equipped will encounter a WEASEL error.

This issue can be mitigated by updating your loadouts today either in-game or in the Companion app to temporarily remove this Exotic.

After Renegades launches and you log in, you can add the Exotic to your loadouts again as new loadouts that include Wormgod Caress will not cause this error.

[zenith geyser]

In preparation for the Renegades expansion launch, the Destiny 2 servers will be taken down for maintenance at 5 AM PT.

For those who wish to read or reread the changes and balancing pass coming in Destiny 2: Renegades (Update 9.5.0), we'll have Patch Notes at 7 AM PT.

For those who wish to get caught up on the Lawless Frontier, we'll have a short guide at 8 AM PT. Minimal spoilers, purely optional.

Destiny 2: Renegades launches at 9 AM PT. See you bright and early, Guardians.

...or, well. Maybe over lunch. Or in the evening. Depends on your timezone. In any case, we can't wait.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.5.0, the one about Renegades and more, are now available:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_5_0

[zenith geyser]

We're investigating an issue where Loadouts that include Exotic armor ornaments can cause a Weasel error code when inspected or equipped.

As a workaround, we advise players to update their Loadouts to remove these ornaments until a fix can be deployed.

We're also investigating an issue where some equipped Exotic armor ornaments get unequipped when logging in. Players can safely equip these ornaments again.

[zenith geyser]

An issue impacting the Lawless Silver Bundle on platform storefronts has been identified and resolved.

Players should expect to receive 1700 Silver and the Classy Tag Legendary Emote upon purchase.

[zenith geyser]

We're aware of an issue where players can get in a stuck state opening the game interface while Drifter's cutscene plays in Tharsis Cantina.

While a fix is being investigated, it's recommended to not open your inventory, quest log, or menus until the quest progresses to prevent this issue.

Alternatively, pressing ESC on PC or the Back/Cancel button on controller to skip the cutscene also avoids this issue. If you are in this stuck state, you can change characters to get out of it.

Thanks for your detailed repro steps on this issue, Guardians.

[zenith geyser]

We wanted to share additional information on issues we are tracking through Day 1 of Renegades.

We've identified an issue in the Welcome to the Frontier mission where the Piker Gang may not spawn properly. While we work on a fix, we recommend letting the objective update to "Defeat Piker Crew" before killing any of the Dregs or crouching through the tunnel as this should allow you to progress normally.

For players in a stuck state during Mission Imperium trash compactor sequence (when "Joining Allies" appears), please ensure that you do not aim at or shoot the jammer before being prompted to do so.

Finally, we are still investigating a separate issue where players are unable to enter the Hawk at the start of the Welcome to the Frontier mission. A reported workaround is to unselect your Renegade abilities, relaunch the mission, and then reselect your Renegade abilities as this may resolve the issue and allow you to progress.

Thanks for the constructive reports on these issues, we'll share updates on them as they are resolved.

[zenith geyser]

We have corrected the selection of available Banes in higher-difficulty matchmade Portal content to fix an issue where players were unable to reach intended score thresholds and earn greater rewards.

We've identified an issue where Renegades campaign activities and Lawless Frontier Jobs default to Normal difficulty. Players can set the difficulty to Expert when launching into these activities if they would like to earn greater rewards.

Completing Jobs on either difficulty will not impact Legendary campaign completion triumphs.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue where the Cabal variant of the Typhon Imperator Solo Op can cause a crash, it has been disabled until a fix can be deployed in a future update. Players will still be able to access the Dread variant without issue.

Additionally, we have temporarily disabled an Eliksni variant of Sabotage activities so that players no longer become blocked if the final boss does not spawn.

[zenith geyser]

Upon investigation shortly before release, we found the cause of a soft lock occurring in the Coil activity when players exited the Riven vendor screen without purchasing anything. This is planned to be fixed and the activity re-enabled next Tuesday, December 9, with Update 9.5.0.1.

This update will also introduce a handful of activities which will launch inside the Portal in Fireteam Ops:

• Birthplace of the Vile
• The Arms Dealer
• Defiant Battlegrounds: EDZ
• Warden of Nothing
• Exodus Crash

Additionally, with the launch of Renegades, specific activities in the Portal have moved to a weekly map rotation including Reclaim, Expedition, and Onslaught.
While we continue to investigate a fix to increase starting tokens in Contest of Elders, we have made a live change to increase the ways players can earn them, including:

• Adding HVTs to encounters that reward tokens when killed
• Rewarding tokens when completing bonus objectives and critical objectives
• Rewarding tokens for skipping the Cryo Chamber encounter

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue, Vox Obscura will be temporarily unavailable in Pinnacle Ops.

We will provide updates when available.

We are investigating an issue where players are losing access to Lawless Frontier activities after finishing the Renegades campaign, potentially due to the quest The Territory War Begins being present on other characters on the account before those characters have completed the campaign.

As a workaround, some players are reporting that changing their faction, abandoning The Territory War Begins, then reacquiring it in Tharsis Outpost causes the Lawless Frontier activities to reappear.

Let us know if this workaround does not resolve your issues so that we can investigate further.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue, the option to purchase from junk Eliksni vendors at Tharsis Outpost has been increased to 7777777 credits until a fix can be deployed.

[zenith geyser]

We've seen some questions about whether The Edge of Fate gear like Mint Retrograde and the Smoke Jumper set will be earnable again.

We've been working on adding a new way to earn gear from the last season, but it wasn't quite ready for Renegades launch and is currently targeting a future update. We will share more after we lock down the details.

Welcome to the first weekend of Destiny 2: Renegades!

As we see more players finishing the campaign, we want to highlight that the highest quality gear a Renegade can find is in the Lawless Frontier. Guardians looking for Tier 5 gear will want to complete the "Fellow Friend" triumph and then visit Spider for an upgrade that permanently increases all subsequent Lawless Frontier gear rewards.

After acquiring this upgrade from Spider, all successful Grandmaster Lawless Frontier activity completions with an A grade or higher will reward Tier 5 gear.

See you on the frontiers, Renegade.

⌚ Open Access has been extended until December 16, 2025.

We have prepared a fix for a crash that players are experiencing while fighting The Witness. This issue will be resolved with Update 9.5.0.1, deploying on Tuesday, December 9.

As a result, Open Access will be extended so that all players will be able to complete The Final Shape campaign in its entirety.

The Final Shape and all other Open Access content will remain unlocked for all players until December 16, 2025.

We have deployed a change to prevent players from launching into invasions before their final Deathmark token from their previous Invasion was consumed, resulting in BAT errors.

While player's Deathmark tokens will still not be visually consumed until they return to Orbit, they will no longer be able to launch into a new Invasion while still in their final activity.

[zenith geyser]

Due to an issue where the activity can't be completed, the Master Conductor's Keep Conquest has been temporarily disabled until a fix can be deployed.

We have resolved an issue for players where rewards in Competitive Crucible were inconsistent when hitting a B+ Diamond II score.

Rewards should more accurately drop at the correct tier now.

[zenith geyser]

We're aware of an issue where players who own all three Dungeon Keys can still purchase the Light and Dark Saga Dungeon Key Pack.

This is unintentional, and players who purchase this pack while owning all Dungeon Keys at the time of purchase will receive a refund in the future.

[zenith geyser]

In celebration of the Destiny 2: Renegades launch and the introduction of Syndicates, we have a fun event happening outside of the game — led by our creator community — for players to hop into if they so choose at https://OathOfTheRenegades.com

Patch notes for Update 9.5.0.1, the one about Vanguard Alerts and more, are now available:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_5_0_1

[zenith geyser]

We will be implementing the following changes to the Fire and Ice Exotic Mission in response to community feedback:

• Reduced the time required to interact with the pyramid activators in the boss arena to one second.
• Changed platforms in the boss arena to be solid on Legendary difficulty and adjusted their positioning to offer more protection on both difficulties.
• Fixed an issue where players were blocked from earning the Upper Hand or Hyperblade Catalysts for the Praxic Blade after acquiring one of the two.

These changes will be live with Update 9.5.0.3 coming on December 16.

[zenith geyser]

After resolving a scoring issue with Update 9.5.0.1, the Derealize Master Conquest has now been re-enabled.

We are still targeting a fix for the Conductor's Keep Master Conquest to go live on December 16 in Update 9.5.0.3.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.5.0.2, the one about too much armor, are now available:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_5_0_2

[zenith geyser]

Thanks to your feedback, we investigated the crystal drop rates and found Dark Matter Crystal: Cyan drops far lower than intended. It's meant to be rare, but not this rare. We're monitoring feedback and drop rates of other crystals, so far Cyan appears to be the only outlier.

We will be deploying a fix which significantly increases the Cyan crystal's drop rate from Exotic Contracts in Update 9.5.0.3 on Tuesday, December 16.

[zenith geyser]

A banner in the Portal is incorrectly proclaiming the Equilibrium dungeon is out today. Equilibrium Contest Mode will be available tomorrow, December 13, at 9 AM PT (UTC-8).

Sorry for the confusion!

[zenith geyser]

The Equilibrium dungeon's Contest Mode ended at 9 AM PT today. Activity completions as of now will not grant Contest Mode rewards.

We are investigating revoking emblems earned after the scheduled 9 AM PT end of the Contest Mode period.

[zenith geyser]

We are investigating an issue in the Equilibrium dungeon where not all feats are properly increasing reward quality or counting for triumphs.

More information will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

Patch notes for Update 9.5.0.3, the one about Lawless Frontier fixes and more, are now available:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_5_0_3

[zenith geyser]

We're aware of an issue where those who purchase the Powder Blue Porcelain Pack in Eververse receive the Delicate Shell from the Event Track instead of the intended Painted Elytra Shell.

Players who purchase this pack will receive the missing item after Dawning ends (exact delivery date TBD).

Players who inadvertently purchase it twice will be refunded as well.

[zenith geyser]

Happy Dawning, Guardians!

As the Dawning begins, we wanted to highlight a few notable currency upgrades available from Eva Levante:

🍪 The Bountiful Harvest upgrade earns you additional Dawning Ingredients when completing orders and Dawning Daily Challenges.

⭐ The Essential Harvest upgrade allows you to earn a small amount of Dawning Essence by completing Orders and Dawning Daily Challenges.

⭐ The Quintessence upgrade grants bonus Dawning Essence when completing activities.

❄️ The Season's Spirit upgrade grants bonus Dawning Spirit when completing activities.

Visit Eva Levante in the Tower to begin the Dawning, then complete daily and weekly challenges in the Event Home for additional Dawning Spirit to optimize your upgrade path.

The Dawning is available to all players until January 6, 2026.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We have resolved an issue in the Equilibrium dungeon where not all Feats were properly increasing reward quality or counting for triumphs.

[zenith geyser]

With snowballs flying in The Dawning, the team has noticed an issue where only Master difficulty activities are progressing the Snowball Specialist triumph instead of Master or higher difficulties as intended.

We're investigating a fix for this issue.

[zenith geyser]

UPDATE: We have resolved the issue with the Snowball Specialist triumph. This triumph can now be progressed in Master or higher difficulty activities as intended.

Let loose the snowballs!

[zenith geyser]

After thorough investigation, we have identified the cause of an issue where Lobby Balancing has been re-enabled in Trials of Osiris.

This has been added to our known issues list and a fix is being planned for January.

[zenith geyser]

We have resolved an issue where the Twitch Drops campaign for The Dawning ended early. This campaign has been opened again and will run until January 6 at 9 AM PT as planned.

[zenith geyser]

A change has just been published to change the featured weapon for Trials of Osiris to the Astral Horizon Legendary Shotgun.

Kinetic, Aggressive. Packs a punch.

Good luck on Anomaly, Guardians.

[zenith geyser]

We have identified an issue where Special Ammo Boxes on Anomaly are not spawning as intended.

As such, we are changing the map to Burnout. We hope you enjoy the scenic views of a "dark future" Mercury while defeating your foes.

Additionally, we'd like to note that a fix for Lobby Balancing in Trials of Osiris is currently scheduled for January 13 in Destiny 2 Update 9.5.0.5. Stay tuned for patch notes.

We're investigating an issue where Ada-1 isn't accepting Combat Telemetry event currency. More information will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

Update on the Arms Week issue with Combat Telemetry:

We are continuing to investigate this issue and are actively testing potential fixes. More information will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

Issues impacting Combat Telemetry for Arms Week have been resolved.

Players should now be able to exchange this currency with Ada-1 in the Shooting Range.

[zenith geyser]

Since the beginning of Arms Week, we have been investigating an issue where players who acquire a Calibration quest on one character are unable to pick it up again and progress on alternates. The workaround for this is to fully complete the quests and unlock the Volatile Bow Mods on the character that they were started on.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to resolve this issue before the current event ends but are planning to have this resolved by the next Arms Week.

[zenith geyser]

Patch Notes for Update 9.5.5.1, the one that fixes the Dawning Oven getting stuck and more, are now available:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_5_5_1

[zenith geyser]

We are investigating an issue where the Arms Week Event Home is still active for some players after the weekly reset.

More information will be provided when available.

[zenith geyser]

The issue where the Arms Week Event Home was still active for some players after the weekly reset has been resolved.

Players who were affected will still have the Initial Calibration quest present in their inventories until the next weekly reset.

[zenith geyser]

Due to the unrelated issues impacting Destiny services today, we were unable to move forward with our planned server testing. This testing has been rescheduled to tomorrow, February 6, beginning roughly at 1:30 PM PT.

As a reminder, the purpose of this testing is to gather data around a server setting aimed at improving backend world server performance. Players may see more Guitar errors across Destiny 2, especially in longer-running Tower instances. This is an expected test outcome that we're looking to resolve in a future update and is a key part of the data we're collecting.

Patch Notes for Update 9.5.6, the one about Guardian Games and more, are now available:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_5_6

[zenith geyser]

Following this morning's Update 9.5.6 deployment, the Guardian Games event page and Tower podium were not showing as intended for some players. The Arms Week event was incorrectly shown instead.

The cause of this issue has been resolved and erroneous podium shields should be corrected over the next 24 hours. Apologies for the delayed start to Guardian Games.

[zenith geyser]

We're aware of an issue where Steam players who log out with the Flamecaller Set, Mindsculptor Set, or Death's Majesty Set equipped are unable to log back into the game.

The team has determined the cause of this issue and is actively working to resolve it.

[zenith geyser]

We are aware that the Initial Calibration quest from Arms Week is still present for players who were affected by yesterday's Guardian Games event page issue.

This quest can be safely ignored as it is not intended to be present in the current event and cannot currently be completed. We are investigating getting this quest removed from player inventories at the next weekly reset.

UPDATE: The issue affecting the Flamecaller, Mindsculptor, and Death's Majesty Sets has been resolved. Players with them equipped should now be able to log back into Destiny 2 without issue.

[zenith geyser]

The team is investigating an issue where the Triple Laureate Hand Cannon's sound effects are not playing when used. To prevent an unfair advantage, the weapon has been temporarily disabled in Crucible activities.

Patch Notes for Update 9.5.6.2, the one about Lawless Vouchers and more, are now available:

[zenith geyser]

Zavala is indeed impressed by your performance and celebrates that his Community Challenge of 15 million PvE enemies defeated has been met in just five days.

In light of this, he has escalated his Commander's Orders: reach 50 million PvE enemy defeats using the Vanguard-issued weapons he listed before reset time on May 12 to earn an additional, unreleased emblem for all participating Guardians.

We'll reveal the second emblem in this week's TWID!

[zenith geyser]

The Animal Instinct emblem has been delivered to players who qualified during Guardian Games! Make sure to check your Collections in Flair > Emblems > General to receive it.

Please note you'll need to log in to Destiny 2 before the emblem shows as available on Bungie.net or third-party websites.

[zenith geyser]

Update: We are aware that some qualifying players have not received the Animal Instinct emblem and are investigating. Sorry for the wait!

[zenith geyser]

Patch Notes for Update 9.5.6.3, the one about Triple Laureate's audio and more, are now available:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/destiny_update_9_5_6_3

[zenith geyser]

We have resolved an issue where the Vanguard Alerts Weekly Challenges would not drop the special masterworked weapon with an additional Origin Trait.

[zenith geyser]

Update: We have completed delivery of the Animal Instinct emblem to the remaining qualifying players who were not caught in our first round. Thank you for your patience!

As a reminder, you will need to log into Destiny 2 and check Collections > Flair > General to claim your emblem.

[zenith geyser]

Orders achieved, Guardians! We asked for 15 million kills in two weeks, you delivered them in less than five days. Then we upped the ante to 50 million and you reached that number with days to spare before the official deadline! Zavala couldn't be prouder of how you have completed his original and escalated Commander's Orders.

While we're getting ready to deliver your hard-earned Commander's Salute and Gold Stars emblems into participating accounts, Guardians can still participate before this Community Challenge ends on May 12 at reset time.
