Info / FAQ New & Returning Player FAQ

406 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: 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 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...

Tips / Hints PSA: Winter's Guile Builds Don't Need 5 Loadout Swaps

473 Upvotes

I've seen so many Youtube videos lately with builds around Winter's Guile all forcing you to use multiple loadout swaps. For me on console, it's always been too slow and annoying to try to time correctly, so I wanted to show that you can still get things done with one - two loadouts. It may not completely destroy higher end bosses with tons of health in one phase, but it definitely still helps in soloing content more easily. :)

I used maximum 2 loadouts just to have a better ad clear gun like Khvostov when not needing to prioritize dps, then swapped to Tractor Cannon. I think it's much simpler than trying to perfect multiple different swaps.

EDIT: I'm just adding since some hardcore gamerz can't read, I never said this is better, worse or more optimal lol. I said it's not NEEDED to have 5-6 loadout swaps, especially for those of us on console that find it unfun. I'm aware loadout swapping makes neutral gameplay easier, but not everyone has the ability to do so.

Is this rocket any good? It's a precision frame, but being able to shoot all your rockets without reloading and getting the 35 % damage buff from gear shift for like 3/4 of those rockets has got to be pretty good.

IRL Content / Creations Cayde-6 display piece improvement.

Hi all,

I wanted to upgrade the eyes on my Numskull Cayde-6 helmet because, although the helmet itself looked fantastic, the dark, lifeless eye sockets made it feel soulless.

My goal was to bring Cayde’s eyes back to the helmet and recreate that distinctive robotic Exo appearance. I spent quite a bit of time exploring different ideas, trying to find something that looked convincing without being overly complicated.

I think it looks great and thought I’ll share this for anyone else who has one.

Edit: Hey again. Thank you all for the kind words and appreciation! I have one other picture to share below.

Discussion Borealis and the question

5 Upvotes

So some say the redacted part talks about existence what do yall think?(Would be very funny considering how careless we are in game)

"Project Borealis's onboard systems contain a pocket energy matrix capable of changing its alignment in a near instant to mimic the spectral frequencies of mapped energy types. The science is groundbreaking, but volatile. We're lucky to have this first, stable model available for active combat use. More will surely come, but for now, the Borealis is the only one of its kind that I trust for real world application."

"Sounds dangerous."

"If the internal matrix misaligns for any reason during its shift between outputs—damage, wear, a flaw in its production—the resulting feedback could [REDACTED]."

"That bad, huh?"

"If your definition of 'bad' includes the [REDACTED] then yes, 'bad' begins to describe it."
