I've been slowly putting together a guide the past few months in my spare time, and this week finally got it to a point where the main sections are relatively complete, so I wanted to share here in case it's useful for anybody picking up the game from the recent sales or coming back after being gone for years. It's available at:

https://guardians.guide/

• Guided Path: Beginning the game, general recommended quest order, other activities, and endgame stuff to work towards
• Manual: Quick reference for how different parts of the game work such as gear, combat, progression, and more
• Story: Complete brief timeline to get caught up on the story of Destiny, with character descriptions and related content lists
• Major Changes: Listing of major features and updates added in each expansion (helpful for returning players)
• Extra: Additional resources and information that are more useful once you've gotten a little familiar with the game

I always felt like Destiny is a game that would benefit from those little physical booklets you used to get in the front cover of the game box, full of short descriptions for the story and characters, how your character works, what there is to do, and other bits of info. And so after Monument of Triumph was announced I started to write down a couple ideas and eventually put this site together.

My goals with this guide are:

• Enable players to quickly get up to speed and playing the game, rather than going through lengthy guides
• Cover questions that I see very often from new and returning players
• Focus on core game mechanics and knowledge rather than detailed guides for specific content
• Provide enough information to equip players to go discover the game on their own and have fun!

Hopefully there are some Guardians out there who will find it useful! Let me know if you feel it could be improved or new additions added. I have some ideas for extra pages, but I've gotten busier lately and I wanted to publish what I have so far. Whenever the original campaigns are restored I'll definitely be updating the story page :)

As some of you may have been aware, the For Wei ornament was on sale in the bright dust store a few days ago. Purchasing that ornament allowed you to unlock the Archived Pass for Season of the Undying for free after purchasing the ornament for bright dust.

A few people have noted that a witherhoard ornament effectively did the same thing. I looked at the season passes, then looked at the ornaments on light gg. What I noticed was that some of the ornaments that "should" only be from those passes also show availability from Eververse Engrams on light gg. Out of all of the passes, I only found six. That's 7500 bright dust vs. 3600 silver.

Tl;dr

If you are missing any of these archived season passes, keep an eye out for these ornaments in the bright dust store to unlock that season pass:

Antiquity (Duality) - Season of the Hunt

Hasta Solari (Ticuu's Divination) - Season of the Chosen

For Wei (Eriana's Vow) - Season of the Undying

Skyline Constellation (Symmetry) - Season of Dawn

The Chopper (Tommy's Matchbook) - Season of the Worthy

White Collar Crime (Witherhoard) - Season of Arrivals

Hello Guardians, returning player from curse or Osiris.

Had to start all over and have been working through the timeline, currently on Final Shape.

I am using a hunter but also want Titan and Warlock and I my question is: What do I need to replay?

Can things be skipped? Do I have to pay to skip?

Hoping for a conclusive answer as with the MOT update Ai and older posts are confusing.

Appreciate the help!

I was able to yeet Morgeth hundreds of times this week for people on LFG. This method seemed very consistent. I had feats 1, 2, and 4 on for T5 loot. This isn't really a guide, but just what worked best for me. Got on some 8-10 streaks without failing using this method. Spanking Morgeth seems to work better than a dick twist. Lmk if you want me to yeet for you

When you factor in the top speed reduction it has you save several seconds on the run

I ran Heliostat shortly after the final major update came out. I made the mistake of letting the initial red-bordered Wolfsbane go to my postmaster, wherein it got removed for being too full. I know, my mistake.

Ive since ran the exotic mission several times, even on another character that’s never done it, and I still haven’t gotten a replacement—meaning I can’t craft or use it. Obviously it won’t let me pull it from collections either.

Any advice would be appreciated! I’d really hate to be locked out of this exotic forever!

^{Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.}

So I just got a ps5 hand-me-down and downloaded d2 which was in the library. There's so much stuff. I'm already old and confused generally so it's overwhelming. What's the best way to approach this? Do crucible, gambit, ops or just focus on one thing.? I don't have many of the newer downloads. Should I get them or wait? It looks like it's going to be fun but tense. Is the matchmaking skill based or random? Any direction is helpful. Thanks.

Since around July or August of this year, whenever I launch Destiny 2, my PC either forcefully reboots or throws a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) right as it transitions to the character selection screen.

This happens whenever I update my graphics driver. If I roll back to NVIDIA version 610.74, the game runs perfectly fine.

Does anyone know what the issue could be? It's really frustrating to be stuck on an outdated graphics driver just for this one game.

Aside from rolling back the driver, I've tried almost every solution floating around the internet, but nothing has worked. Even on the rare occasion the game does run, my PC will forcefully reboot while I'm joining an activity.

I'm not even getting a specific BSOD error code to look up, so it's giving me a massive headache. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

The Xurvala Armor Stat Data

Here are the webpages for the armor stats this week for each class, along with a matching JSON data file:

• Homepage: Weekly Destiny 2 Armor Statistics (bookmarkable, will be updated with each weekly update.)
• Warlock Armor - JSON | Hunter Armor - JSON | Titan Armor - JSON

Expand the “Highlight” section to visually highlight or dim armor according to your interests.

What and Why

• Your ghost armor mod affects the armor stats of what you can acquire from Xur and Zavala.
• This shows, for all 13 mod settings, what you will get.
• The goal is to save you time from going through the steps yourself to score that armor you need for your builds.
• This is based on Tier 5 armor acquisition.
• JSON is provided should you want to do deeper analysis with another tool or an LLM.

Notes

• Yep, Zavala’s armor stats reset (for me) this past Wednesday at 5pm Pacific time (00:00 UTC). Dates for the range of armor availability are updated.
• Odo’s Reverse Engineering Armor3 Rolls - Google Docs saves me an invaluable amount of time putting this together given one must manually equip your ghost armor mod before querying for armor stats (with a time delay, given that the API takes a while to update to changes).

As always, I’m open to feedback / corrections / concerns, etc, etc. Thanks for the continued feedback! Cheers from just another guardian.

Is anyone facing the same problem as me and if anyone faced it how did u fix it?

I did the micha 10 quests i have the ten vestiges of light ik where to find the chest but I can't get seclusion of light for the chest to spawn what am I missing

Im new to the game and after a couple days im solar titan with 360 power. Im trying to get to guardian rank 7 and have all of the reqs except masterwork a weapon and a armor, to upgrade my weapon and armor further I need ascendant shards, ive been doing arena ops in grandmaster difficulty and I end with bronze A+, not sure what that means. I can never get the ascendant shards, any idea where I can get them.

Always felt like this was a really good aspect, but teammates rarely need the extra healing and any time I'd ask whether they noticed the healing they never did.

It works fine but for a bit more oomph and for people to really notice it if it spilled over into overshield that would make this aspect S-tier.

Im a newbie just got the game a couple weeks ago and have been heavily relying on suggestions from others as far as what weapons i should be using. im honestly not too sure what the criteria for good vs just ok weapons is. Is it just the perks that roll on that weapon and how they interact with your build ?

Currently playing crackshot hunter with festival flight, yeartide apex with heal clip and incandescent and truth laucher with catalyst.

One of my biggest gripes with Destiny 2 Warlock fashion is the fact the chest piece determines how the rest of your fashion will look when D1 at least gave you some options with the gloves having shoulder armor attached to it

The tower is a social space but there hasnt been much change to it over the years, besides MoT, that have impacted game play.

There should be more reasons to go to the tower besides the few vendors that are currently there.

Stuff to spice up the space.

Like a weapon foundry market, improvement on faction vendors, events for individual factions that anyone can be apart of, a library that lets a player visually see their lore books build up, a shady merchant, a SRL vendor, SRL teams to join, a raiding organization/group/person (like how saint runs trials), a crafting system, etc. etc.

It should be interesting/ intriguing when you go to the tower

Anyone interested in something crazy and fun for next years Halloween event? Season of the Killer Klownz? In Outer Space? Endless clown enemies. Krazy new planet with fun puzzles. Giant Puppet Clown Boss.

Not to mention fun weapons and gear.

I get it if I’m alone in this.

The general consensus of the community is that the nature of Renegades as a Star Wars expansion was a significant narrative detriment, especially in how it reshaped the Praxics and the Dredgens. I vehemently agree with this, but excluding that, is Renegades' story actually any good?

Renegades has a lot of rather convenient things. For starters, Nightfall Station.

Nightfall Station was able to be built so fast because the Nine were able to IIRC create a pocket dimension where time moves far faster. Now, this is the opposite of how increased gravity actually affects things, but more importantly it raises the question of why they don't do it again/more often if they're capable of it?

And then of course, Eclipse. Brand new energy type that just so happens to completely destroy Paracausality itself while being Causal. I needn't explain why this is convenient. I have seen a theory suggesting it might be a variation of what Nezarec's Nightmares are sourced from based on design and sound cues, which would be a far cooler direction, but the foundation of that theory is shaky.

You could also argue that the way the syndicates treat us makes no sense, considering how legendary the guardian is, but that ties back into Bungie trying to make it akin to Star Wars.

Lastly, the City. Political Unrest is an interesting idea, but the execution is sketchy at best, as it relies on the Vanguard suddenly acting like tyrants and not working to create any form of elected leadership.

Credit where it's due though, Bael's general story when viewed alongside the MoT additions is neat, even if his characterization if a straight rip-off of Kylo Ren.

It would be so cool if every 3 months we could gild our triumphs that we can gild. Even some titles that are not able to gild be gilded like raids and dungeons. Be something really cool for a sense of progress every 3 months in destiny 2.

Also to add this. I wouldn't mind if they add a master version to the raids and dungeons that don't have master versions.put the adept versions of the weapons in raids. That would be cool also.

I know this is asking alot.

Is this challenge bugged? It saying you can complete gambit matches but only tracking crucible is going to pull my hair out. i fucking hate crucible. every match the game even tells me it can’t match make for shit bc it breaks up the teams and reminds me of how dogshit i am, with the stupid message “hmm you got pub stomped. let’s try and stop that from happening again” just to get pitted against the same team or ran through even worse 😭 no one plays objectives whyyyyy is this not tracking gambit like it says it should 😭😭😭
