Info / FAQ New & Returning Player FAQ

Post image
400 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: 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...

Question is there any way to OOB to here?

On the moon, if you OOB out of the area where you get the divinity quest by sparrow flying to the very back of the cave, and you can look outside the map to see this interesting looking area that I've been trying to get to. I've tried a few different OOB's like the one you can get to by sword flying/skating to the scarlet keep and glitching out from the left wall, but they all box me into areas full of death barriers. Does anyone know of a way to get here or an OOB with no barriers?

I have long said that the addition of champions was one of the worst decisions made in destiny history...

context: a servitor barrier champion was outside the room, it made the ONE corrupt puppeteer clone that we needed to kill immune, preventing us from killing it, forcing us to inevitably wipe due to the sector purge mechanic.

(ik this has nothing to do with the fact that the servitor was a barrier champion but a champion still did it and I'm rightfully upset and I hate champions :D )

Discussion I got a 0 power divinity awhile ago

Post image
29 Upvotes

I've heard recently some people have been getting 0 power divinity from hackers but I might have the only legit one. So when pantheon 2.0 launched a bit went by until the secret divinity chest was found. And my clan mates ran the consecrated mind and they had someone leave after it was done and they invited me in to do the secret for the chest, we did it and when I opened the chest I got the 0 power divinity. My best guess is since the activity was already counted as completed when I loaded in it didnt account for me in any of the loot so it dropped me the divinity at 0 power. I was planning to post it but I kinda just assumed the divinity dropped at 0 from that chest anyways, guess it dosen't normally do that

Discussion Did the Vow ending cutscene really go anywhere?? Seems like a dead end

The way Ikora phrases it seems to imply there's multiple more disciples coming, the witnesses army....and all we got was the Shadow Legion and house Salvation??? It wasn't the Dread nor Nezerac, which don't even exist yet.

I feel like bungie at the time of making that cutscene probably had a different plans for how things would go. The black fleet is essentially never mentioned again after WQ. They appear in Lightfall (in one cutscene) and that's literally it.

Our Guardian gets isekai'd into the world of Genshin Impact (somehow) and is tasked to turn every God they see into a gun or armor piece. How far do they make it? Or do they pubstomp? (Connection to the Light still intact and all)

Separately, what happens if we throw Ikora and Osiris (Prime) into their fireteam as well?

Question Hunter Cloaks like the Frumious Cloak?

5 Upvotes

I recently started playing Hunter and found a sick cloak from ada, unfortunately u cant color it.

And i can really find any alternatives that are similar to it, besides the Lustrous cloak u can get from the tenet of bravery. Sadly this one has golden a golden designed woven in and that cant be shaded either lol.

Unfortunatly i have found no real alternatives from googling that someone like me, who started with MoT, could get.

I kinda doubt there is a alternative atp but thought it cant hurt asking one of the vets on here

Question Vault of Glass Memento

Hello. I have a question regarding mementos from Vault of Glass, because I could not find any up to date information. How exactly do these mementos drop? I got two after I returned from a long break and kind of wasted them and now have yet to see another one. Could anyone please help me and explain how they work?
