This week in the world of Destiny 2, players are gearing up for the festive season with a variety of exciting events and updates. As we approach the end of 2024, the Destiny 2 Community Team is reflecting on the year while also looking forward to the new adventures that await in 2025.

Holiday Celebrations and Festivities

The Dawning event is in full swing, bringing a sense of warmth and cheer to Guardians everywhere. This year, the festivities include baking Classic Butter Cookies, a beloved tradition among players. However, it’s not just about giving; the community is encouraged to enjoy some of these treats themselves. As the year wraps up, this marks the final This Week in Destiny (TWID) for 2024, making it a perfect time to reflect on the highlights and look ahead.

Key Events to Mark on Your Calendar

As the year draws to a close, there are several important events and opportunities for players to take advantage of:

• Adept Uzume RR4: Grandmaster Nightfall – Next week presents the last chance to acquire the Adept Uzume RR4 Sniper Rifle from the Nightfall loot pool. Make sure to participate and add this powerful weapon to your collection. Additionally, for those still hunting for a god roll Rake Angle, the Stasis Glaive will return to rotation on December 24, featuring the effective Chill Clip perk.
• Adept Summoner: Trials of Osiris – The final week of Trials of Osiris for the year will introduce class-based matchmaking. Expect to see one Hunter, one Warlock, and one Titan on each team as they strive for victory and aim to reach the Lighthouse. This is also the last chance to secure the Adept version of The Summoner, so players are encouraged to push hard for that final roll.

Crucible Labs Modes

In Crucible Labs this week, players can engage in two exciting modes:

• Hardware Supremacy – In this mode, players will focus on gunplay as ability regeneration is disabled, creating a more traditional combat experience.
• Doubles: 2v2 Clash – Team up with a friend for some small-team action in this returning mode. Players are invited to share their feedback on maps and gameplay while earning Crucible reputation and rewards.

Looking Forward to 2025

As we transition into the new year, Destiny 2 is set to kick off with significant updates and events. One of the most anticipated is the launch of Act III, scheduled for January 7, 2025. This will mark the conclusion of the Revenant storyline, introducing a new Exotic mission, fresh weapons, and an additional row of Artifact perks. Players can expect more detailed information as the launch date approaches.

Community Engagement and Fashion

The community continues to thrive, with players encouraged to showcase their #DawningFashion. As part of the holiday spirit, the Bungie Foundation will also be reflecting on its year in review, highlighting the positive impact made through various initiatives.

Final Thoughts

As we celebrate the end of the year and look forward to new challenges and adventures, Destiny 2 remains a vibrant community filled with opportunities for engagement and growth. Players are urged to make the most of the remaining events and prepare for an exciting start to 2025.
