This Week In Destiny – 02/08/2024

This week in Destiny, we’re feeling refreshed. Maybe it’s due to the crisp morning air or getting a good night’s sleep. Or maybe it’s the Iron Banner, Trials, and Nightfall weapons refresh we have on the horizon. Yeah, probably that. So, let’s get into it.

This week topics:

• Game2Give breaks records
• Iron Banner, Trials, and Nightfall weapon refresh
• Additional Iron Banner dates
• Weekly featured Bright Dust drops
• Armor Synthesis bounty refresh

Game2Give Celebrates a Record-Breaking Campaign

At the stroke of midnight on Sunday, Game2Give officially concluded its record-breaking campaign. The Bungie Foundation hosted its largest and most ambitious campaign yet to a rousing success, raising $3,135,136 from more than 65,000 donations representing 120 countries across the globe. Not to mention, Guardians redeemed over 220,000 emblems. The outpouring of support, energy, and unity from the community during Game2Give was incredibly special and inspirational to witness. We cannot express enough gratitude to each and every single donor, fundraiser, and community member who helped spread the love.

The return of the Game2Give livestream last Thursday was also smashing success, with over $180,000 raised during our five-hour, wheel-spinning, hot-sauce-fueled adventure with Drifter himself. If you did not have the chance to join us for the stream or just want to relive the spicy madness, head on over the Bungie Foundation Twitch channel now!

This is the most memorable campaign in the 14-year history of the Bungie Foundation. Again, a massive and heartfelt thanks again to the entire community and all the teams at Bungie who helped make this possible. And, yes, we will be getting those tattoos!

Upcoming Loot Pools

To account for the length of this Season and that upcoming Episodes will be longer than previous Destiny 2 Seasons, we’re increasing the Nightfall weapon pool to eight weapons. The plan is for Trials of Osiris to return to six weapons in rotation, to allow its Adept weapons to have more chances to be featured, taking into account the weeks that Trials of Osiris will be disabled (i.e., Iron Banner weeks).

• Unrevealed weapon A
• Unrevealed weapon B
• The Summoner Solar Auto Rifle
• The Prophet Stasis Scout Rifle
• Incisor Strand Trace Rifle
• Eye of Sol Kinetic Sniper Rifle

Iron Banner Returns

While we've had a chance to enjoy Iron Banner three times already this Season, Lord Saladin Forge will be returning to the Tower once again to help prepare Guardians for The Final Shape. With the extended Season, we’ll be adding two more chances to jump back in and commemorate the Iron Lords.

Iron Banner Dates

• April 2
• April 30

The Future Is Bright

As we head toward The Final Shape, we’re honoring Guardians with a new weekly gift of Bright Dust. Starting on March 5, players can visit the Eververse store to claim 700 Bright Dust each week leading up to the launch of The Final Shape. Make sure to log in, get your Dust, and spend wisely, Guardians.

Armor Synthesis Bounty Refresh

On March 5, the cap for Armor Synthesis Threader bounties will reset. This will behave like a standard Seasonal reset, and players will once again have ten available bounties per character. This is a great opportunity to earn more Synthweave as we lead up to The Final Shape. If you currently have unfinished bounties, make sure to complete them before March 5, as they won't stack with the eight bounties available after the reset. 

PLAYER SUPPORT REPORT

I’m just a silly little cursed Thrall; just a silly little guy. You wouldn’t punch me, right?

Recently, we resolved an issue causing some Game2Give donation emblem rewards from the current charity event to display as unavailable after being unlocked.

Players who encountered this issue are encouraged to log into their accounts to confirm that their emblems can now be successfully equipped. If you still encounter issues, submit a ticket here.

KNOWN ISSUES

While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of what’s recently been reported in our :

• The Supernova Sprint Triumph can only be completed if players finish the Starcrossed Exotic mission in less than 15 minutes instead of 20.
• Sliding and shooting a weapon while surged cancels the effects of the Lightning Surge Aspect.
• The Promethium Spur Exotic is gaining less class ability energy than intended from Solar weapon kills.
• The "Tying It All Together” quest from Ada-1 may not successfully grant players their Glimmer reward if they already have over 250,000 Glimmer in their inventory.
• For Titans, Revitalizing Blast is not weakening Champions or bosses if the Consecration Solar Aspect is equipped.

Freeze!

When a build just works for you, it just works for you. And if you make some nice and fun clips and share how you use it with the rest of us, well, you might get featured here next.

Movie of the Week: Cryosthesia 77K and Assassin's Cowl

Best Duo in Trials of Osiris

It's February, and love is in the air. While some people are looking for that special someone, I'm looking for someone with their (Special) Sniper Rifle watching my back in Trials. Is that too much to ask?

Art of the Week by Rev via Twitter

That’s it for this week. Hopefully you're enjoying nabbing some sweet loot in Riven's Wishes. While the Last Wish weapons seem to be popular (as they should be), we're seeing a lot more sleek-looking weapons around the Tower, thanks to the Festival of the Lost and Dawning Mementos. It's been great seeing veteran Guardians help New Lights find the rewards that will best suit them. Keep it up.

We’ll be back next week with more updates. Until then, be good to each other, and thanks again for the record-breaking outpouring of support for Game2Give!
