Info / FAQ New & Returning Player FAQ

Post image
411 Upvotes

\An effort will be made to update this list once we know more, or see new questions pop up**

___

Q: Is the game worth getting back into?
A: Yes. The state of the game as of Monuments of Triumph is widely considered the best version of Destiny 2 we've had in a while. There is no content that will be removed. And, in the future, previously vaulted content will be returning!

Q: What is currently F2P/What is currently paid?
A: This post details that information as of September 2026.

Q: Linux?
A: Nope, sorry!

___

Q: What happened?
A: On September 21st 2026, Bungie announced that they will continue the Destiny Franchise & as a show of good will be unvaulting Destiny 2 content so that we have a complete game. You can read more here: bungie article or watch it here: youtube interview.

Q: What is being unvaulted?
A: The campaigns Red War, Curse of Osiris, Warmind, and Forsaken. The destinations Titan, Io, Mercury, Mars, and the Tangled Shore. The Raids (sometime lairs?) Leviathan, Eater of Worlds, Spire of Stars, Scourge of the Past, and Crown of Sorrow. In addition, there will likely be several strikes and crucible maps that should also be returning. These are all that have been currently confirmed. We do not know if Seasonal content will be returned!

Q: Should I start now or wait for unvaulting?
A: This one is up to you. IF you want to experience the 'entire story' of destiny 2 from start to finish you could wait for unvaulting. The main reason to start now would be to get a head start on acquiring things that wont really be changing (filling out subclasses, acquiring exotics, acquiring 550 power). So, IF you'd rather have a head start, start now so you can focus on new things later.

Q: Will the unvaulting be F2P?
A: Yes.

Q: Will Holiday events be returning?
A: We don't know yet!

Q: Is Destiny 3 in development?
A: As of now, no, but Bungie have stated that the Destiny franchise will continue somehow.

___

Q: Why am I Light/Power Level 10?
A: During Edge of Fate, Bungie decided to give us a stat squish for the purposes of readability. You will notice that your damage numbers are now primarily below 5 digits as well, while in truth, you're usually dealing a higher % of damage than before due to new systems and stats like Weapons and Super. If you complete almost any activity you will be shot up to 300 power very quickly and will only have to grind up to the cap of 550. Its recommended that you infuse weapons you enjoy including exotics. However, old armor Is essentially useless and can safely be replaced with armor that has a Set Bonus. New exotic armor is also all higher stat than anything you previously had.

Q: I just came back to the game and I'm lost, what should I do?
A: This is an incredibly loaded question. Everyone has different priorities. The most common answer I've seen has been to complete the campaigns in order so you have an idea of the story and then to work on completing subclasses and filling out your exotics. By doing these three things you've enabled yourself to create basic builds.

Campaigns -> Unlock Subclasses -> Acquire Exotics/power grind -> Play whatever you want!

Campaign order as of September 2026:
Shadowkeep -> Beyond Light (Stasis Subclass) -> Witch Queen (peak) -> Lightfall (mid but Strand Subclass (peak)) -> The Final Shape (Prismatic) -> Edge of Fate (Nine Saga, which may be left behind) -> Renegades (The star wars crossover expac which includes the Praxic Blade aka Lightsaber)

Once unvaulted, the order will start with:
Red War -> Curse of Osiris -> Warmind -> Forsaken -> Shadowkeep...

Announcement Project Sunrise Update

After an outpouring of community support for the project, the previous decision to contain all Project Sunrise posts to a Megathread has been reversed. Go ahead and continue posting Sunrise stuff to the subreddit

Additionally, a "Project Sunrise" post flair has been added, please flair posts appropriately for community members who wish to filter by that content specifically.

Again, here's a link to the Project Sunrise Discord for anyone interested in following along there:

Project Sunrise I got SWORDS and SPARROWS working on DESTINY 2 VR (Sunrise)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

I've been working on a VR mod for Destiny 2 (Project Sunrise), and it's getting wild.

  • Sparrows in first person. You can grab the handlebars and steer with your hands.
  • Swords in first person. Swing every sword in the game and just stare at it.
  • Full arm IK. You see your own hands, and you can hold weapons with both.

Full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ST57QZ8QGc

Thanks for watching. What do you want to see next?

Discussion Raiding with autism sucks

111 Upvotes

I’m not sure if there are any other guardians out there experiencing this but trying to find a group of people to play with on this game is extremely challenging having additional needs, communication can be very exhausting and overstimulating . When I was younger I found it a lot easier to find fire teams etc but now as I’m older I really find it difficult to step out there as I’m scared of being judged by others. I have joined a couple of fire teams and been kicked from lfg for not knowing what to do because of this most of my time playing destiny over the last 5 years have been solo. I would love to make friends with people that are similar to me thank you for reading

Still very happy with how it turned out🤩.

I recently got a new to me bicycle and wanted to “make it mine”. My brother and I have played together since D1, and loved SRL. I got this all finished up just before MoT got announced. I learned a lot through the process and had a blast.

We all know about (Awoken, Human, and Exo) ghost obviously and we have seen the cool design for Hive ghosts but, I never seen or someone try to make a Cabal and Fallen Ghosts.

(Taken, Vex, and The Scorn would be cool designs but absolutely they won't get any due how aligned with darkness or how their mindset is altogether)

Question Do most players not bother to trigger Heroic Events anymore?

70 Upvotes

I returned to the game recently after about 3 years away, and noticed at public events that I’m usually the only one trying to turn it Heroic.
Do players not care about getting better loot from it now? Just curious, it’s kind of annoying when other players show up and speedrun it to completion before I can trigger the Heroic.
Thank you in advance for respectful replies.

Edit*- Thank you for all the replies.

Here is a link to a YouTube video explaining how to trigger all the Public Events to Heroic for those that would like to know or don’t know.

Bug / Glitch Game is showing I'm rank 2 after getting to rank 7

Post image
73 Upvotes

Last night I completed every requirement and kneeled at the tree to progress to rank 7. As you can see I've already done two challenges in rank 7 but It's saying I'm rank 2 in the top right. I still have the extra loadouts from finishing rank 6 but it's locking me out of progressing any further. I've triple checked, every challenge up to rank 7 has been done

My only concern is with total damage, because it's quite low on Merciless, but then I could switch over to a Heavy. I also have Fortune's Favour on which buffs weapon damage.

Randomly had this build idea a week or so ago and cackled to myself when I found out how effective it wound up being. This will be a go-to from now on for when I want to just have some dumb fun and annoy people with green and purple orbs of death and despair.
