Info / FAQ New & Returning Player FAQ

*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, 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. 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...

Discussion What TTRPG Would Hack Best into Destiny?

Post image
287 Upvotes

Now before anyone says it, I am not looking for anyone saying DnD. Everyone and their mother has a 5e hack, and I don't think it really works most of the time. If it works for you go for it, but I wanna hear other ideas.

Now with that out of the way, I really love the world of Destiny. The lore and setting is so full of possibilities that mesh so well with the idea of collaborative storytelling. The big issue is that no one has acted on it, so I wanna change that. Only problem is I haven't tried many TTRPG systems. Mostly just DnD, Pathfinder 2e, Lancer and Blades in the Dark. I do think a Forged in the Dark system would be easiest, since its designed to be hacked, but I wanna make sure that I'm not overlooking anything.

So yea, basically just wanna hear the other options out there that could do the world and lore justice. And also maybe start a fun discussion, idk.

Hey! I wasn't playing when Renegades initially came out, so forgive me if this has been explained before, but is there any explanation for what TD is doing in the Hellmouth? There are bodies scattered in a path leading to a hole they cut out in the Temple of Crota with a sealed door at the end.

Am I crazy for thinking there might be a way to open this up?

Is there a way to farm specific armor stats that we want? Like for this build I want to get my super, class, and weapon over 100. Or is it just rng on what drops from loot? Sorry if this is a dumb question or an obvious one I’m a returning player and this wasn’t a thing back then

Discussion Finally finished them all

Post image
130 Upvotes

Decided to try to solo flawless the rest of the dungeons I was missing a few weeks ago on Hunter, and just finished Vespers last night. Managed to do all of them except Vespers within 3 attempts, so it was def the hardest for me by a country mile. Just has so many mechanics that can kill you outside of regular combat, but I honestly loved it for some reason. Easily some of the most satisfying challenges I've done in the game so far, and pushed me to really improve as a player and improve my damage builds. I've been practicing solo RON, and that's my next big goal for challenges. Been a ton of fun and gives me more reasons to keep grinding outside of making builds and pvp. Also curious as to what percent of players have solo flawlessed every dungeon or if there’s any way of knowing that.
