It’s been another jam-packed week of Season of the Splicer content. Guardians have infiltrated deeper into the Vex Network through the new Expunge mission and a new Override six-player activity is now available on Tangled Shore. Get in there and help Mithrax stop this endless night! 

Over the weekend, the Vault of Glass raid opened up for the first time in Destiny 2. Fireteams of Guardians have started diving down into its depths, to be greeted with familiar feelings and new twists. Here is a quick teaser if you still haven’t stepped inside yourself.

There were some initial worries that a new bug may allow players to once again yeet to defeat Atheon. However, some additional testing showed that he has adapted over the years and is not as easy to persuade off of ledges. We’ll continue to keep an eye on things.  

Speaking of keeping an eye on things, we got the pleasure of watching along as the World First race raged on over the weekend. It’s always exciting getting to watch fireteams face off against new raid content. If you missed it, go dig up a VOD from your favorite creator or check out the replay of Broman and Reck following the race with their Raid Day Tailgate. They did an awesome job!
