This Week in Destiny, we have a new Exotic mission available. Have you completed it yet? If you are still focusing on the dungeon that launched on Friday, completing Expert runs of The Nether, or trying to get some of the new PvP, Vanguard, or Gambit weapons, who can blame you? There's a lot to do! With that in mind, we'll try not to take much of your time with today's topics.
- Dungeon Race completed
- Our latest Exotic mission is available
- The Trials of Osiris revamp is here
- Iron Banner is back next week
- Important update regarding account linking
- Have you tried the new Holochips?
- Take a look at our next Bungie Rewards
- More #D2FashionFeedback
- Black History Month is here
- Another successful Game2Give ##Congratulations, Champions
What an amazing feat! The first team to reach the last encounter was also the team that won the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon Race. Congratulations one more time to Biggz, Mariomonkey, and luigistyle; watching you three get the win was incredible. Your names shall forever be remembered among the Destiny community, and you will be rewarded for your feat with a unique trophy.
For the rest of the players that played during the weekend, you are amazing! Contest Mode is no joke and whether you completed the dungeon or not, you should be incredibly proud of your achievements. For those who just waited to play in normal mode, we hope you are enjoying the dungeon and come back to discover more secrets for the next few weeks..
For those who want to keep challenging themselves, Master difficulty is now available. You can also complete it solo and flawlessly. We heard Bolt Charge is helping a lot with DPS, that Anarchy is working like a charm and that The Queenbreaker meta is full-on.
Sundered Doctrine Contest Mode Extension
Due to issues affecting PlayStation players' ability to sign in to Destiny 2, we are planning to make the Sundered Doctrine Contest Mode available again for all platforms. Specific dates and times will be announced at a later date. Note that this is not an extension of the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon Race, but rather an additional opportunity for those impacted by the outage to attempt a clear of the dungeon while Contest Mode was available.
New Exotic Wheel-pon Available
Our next Exotic mission has been found. A powerful weapon hidden within the Dreadnaught has awakened and could shed some light on what power is behind the Taken. We'll have to dig deeper into Derealize to find out.
You are already familiar with the reward, the odd-but-amazing-looking Barrow-Dyad. This new Exotic Strand Submachine Gun creates large amounts of blight when hitting more than three different targets. While not firing, blight depletes, but the magazine is refilled quite fast. Reloading it, though, will transform any stored blight into seekers that bore through targets.
We are not exposing any of the contents of the mission, so we will just add that while you can right now unlock four of its intrinsic bonuses, its catalysts will be available in future updates.
The New Trials of Osiris Arrives Tomorrow
Tomorrow, a new chapter begins for Trials of Osiris. This is our biggest update to the game mode since it was brought back to Destiny 2. Matchmaking has been tuned, passages work in a totally different way, and the rewards you get are linked more to your wins than to going flawless. We can't wait to hear your feedback about it!
If you want to refresh how Trials of Osiris is changing, you can read all about it here.
Iron Banner is Back Next Week
Along with increased Crucible reputation gains, next week will see the return of the Iron Banner. Remember that Saladin has changed schedules and moved his traditional PvP event from the two weeks that it was during the last two Episodes to the previous one-week duration. A good reminder if you are on the hunt for the armor sets we introduced during Revenant or if you want to get the new weapons available.
First, we have a new contender, an Adaptive Frame Arc Trace Rifle called Warlord's Spear with perk combos for PvE as interesting as Rewind Rounds and Detonator Beam. For PvP, don't sleep on Dynamic Sway Reduction and Desperate Measures.
The other new reward is a reprised Peacebond, the Adaptive Frame Stasis Sidearm. Zen Moment and Desperado make a great combo for PvP, although others might be more interested in Lone Wolf and Headseeker. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
If you are busy this week and can't play Iron Banner much, don't worry. It will be back several more times during the Episode, the very next one being April 1.
Bungie.net Account Unlinking Update
We have an important update regarding account linking on Bungie.net. For a time now, we have allowed players to link multiple authentication methods to a single Bungie.net profile. We will continue to allow linking accounts in this manner, but we are taking away the option to unlink an account once it's been linked to your Bungie ID. The only exception will be Twitch.
While we don't have a specific date yet for when this change will be implemented, our goal is to enforce it before the end of March, so we wanted everyone to know with enough time beforehand. Our goal is to protect the integrity of our players' accounts, simplify certain security systems, prevent fraud, and limit activities that go against our Terms of Service.
Love is in the air
This week, we introduced a new cosmetic category called Holochips. When activated, Holochips will add a visual effect such as energy trails or holographic wings to your Guardian. They’ll add an extra flair to your fashion, but they won't impact gameplay. Similarly, they’ll be hidden when you enter combat to avoid adding visual noise during tense firefights.
Our first Holochip is available in Eververse right now in the form of a lovely trail of hearts. You can head to the store and claim one for free. Once consumed, Holochips are active for the next 12 real-world hours. If you want to end the effect early, there’s a Holochip Extractor available in Collections.
Players who want to unlock the effect permanently can purchase the Holochip design for 800 Silver. When you do, that Holochip will become available in collections and can be claimed at any time for free.

Heretical Halation Emblem Availability
The Heretical Halation emblem is showing a placeholder asset instead of its final art. This will be fixed in a future update. Additionally, last week we updated the dates and times for this Twitch emblem that we initially announced on the 1/31 TWID. To help avoid issues that can occur with overlapping Twitch Drops, we changed Heretical Halation campaign to the following:
- New Twitch sub drop for all opted-in Twitch channels streaming Destiny 2 between February 11, 9:00AM – March 4, 8:59AM PT.
- Subscribe or gift a sub on Twitch to your favorite opted-in Destiny 2 streamer. ###Known Issues List

Aren't You a Bit Short for a Titan?
Not only does this video have background Scorgan music, but it's a great representation of what our latest collab is all about: friends having fun and Titans missing their shots. Why are you booing me? Hey, no hammer throws! Oh, you also missed.

The Force is strong with this one, too. Do Swords drop with High Ground as a perk? Asking for a friend.

We hope you are enjoying the challenges in front of you during these first weeks of Heresy. There's plenty of time to go through everything, just gather your friends, put on your best builds, and get on with them. Remember: you are Cayde's favorites, saviors of Sol, scourge of the Hive Pantheon, wielders of Light and Darkness and, overall, a quite intimidating group...
