Destiny 2 News

This week at Bungie, we prepare for Solstice of Heroes 2021!

It’s almost time for a celebration. Earlier this week, Guardians pushed back against the Endless Night. Through relentless Overrides and adventures to Expunge the Vex network, Quria was found and deleted. While larger threats to humanity remain, one can take a moment to breathe and rest easy knowing that the people of the Last City are safer. In the wise words of Sant-14, it is time for celebration. Solstice of Heroes is the perfect moment for that.

A big party in the Tower isn’t the only thing that’s going on. Eva Levante returns, bringing new armor for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks to earn. As you upgrade your sets, you’ll once again be able to earn some magnificent white glows to adorn your armor with. If you have a taste for the elements, Eververse will also offer Universal Ornament Bundles for purchase which will shine brightly with glows that reflect your equipped subclass.



For a full rundown of Solstice and everything coming, make sure to check out our Seasonal Event page on Bungie.net. I'm personally getting excited for a fun new shotgun that will be available during the event...

When Destiny 2 hopped from Battle.net to Steam at the end of 2019, the number of players cheating apparently ballooned. As YouTuber Aztecross put it in the video above, "You would look at players and their record, they would go from a 0.5 K/D to a 2.5, 3.5 or higher—you're like, 'What the hell did they eat?'". According to Bungie, cheating went up by roughly 50% in the first four months of 2020. Since then Bungie has shut down cheat-seller PerfectAim and teamed up with Riot to take GatorCheats to court...

This week at Bungie, it’s getting dark.

The Endless Night really ramped up this week as the Tower is now in full dark mode. Strange things are afoot as Guardians continue to search for answers by diving even deeper into the Vex Network. Hopefully the source is found soon, as it’s looking pretty problematic right now.

The bravest and most powerful among you have started to take on the Grandmaster Nightfalls that went live this week with The Glassway. For anyone not aware, Grandmaster Nightfalls are some of the most difficult content to aspire to. If you’ve reached the proper Power but haven’t given it a go yet, Plug One.1 is up for grabs this week, so get in there. Be brave.
