This week in Destiny, we're feeling refreshed. Maybe it's due to the crisp morning air or getting a good night's sleep. Or maybe it's the Iron Banner, Trials, and Nightfall weapons refresh we have on the horizon. Yeah, probably that. So, let's get into it.
This week topics:
At the stroke of midnight on Sunday, Game2Give officially concluded its record-breaking campaign. The Bungie Foundation hosted its largest and most ambitious campaign yet to a rousing success, raising $3,135,136 from more than 65,000 donations representing 120 countries across the globe. Not to mention, Guardians redeemed over 220,000 emblems. The outpouring of support, energy, and unity from the community during Game2Give was incredibly special and inspirational to witness. We cannot express enough gratitude to each and every single donor, fundraiser, and community member who helped spread the love.
The return of the Game2Give livestream last Thursday was also smashing success, with over $180,000 raised during our five-hour, wheel-spinning, hot-sauce-fueled adventure with Drifter himself. If you did not have the chance to join us for the stream or just want to relive the spicy madness, head on over the Bungie Foundation Twitch channel now!
This is the most memorable campaign in the 14-year history of the Bungie Foundation. Again, a massive and heartfelt thanks again to the entire community and all the teams at Bungie who helped make this possible. And, yes, we will be getting those tattoos!
Whether it's Seasonal events or ritual activities, Season of the Wish has offered a variety of ways to nab some great weapons to add to your arsenal. Today, we're happy to tell you about a few more you can expect to add in the near future.
Starting in Update 7.3.5 in early March, we'll be adding new and returning weapons to the loot pools for Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, and Nightfalls. These weapons will all be additions to the current pool and won't replace any existing weapons this Season. So, if you're after any weapons in the current pool, they'll still be waiting for you after this update.
Let's take a look at the weapons we'll be adding:
Trials of Osiris
Iron Banner
Nightfall
If you're wondering when you can get your hands on these weapons, here's when they'll first appear.
The Wild Style Grenade Launcher and its Adept version will be the featured Nightfall weapon.
The Summoner Auto Rifle and its Adept version will be the featured Trials of Osiris weapon.
The Slammer (Sword) and its Adept Version will be the featured Nightfall weapon.
The Prophet Scout Rifle and its Adept version will be the featured Trials of Osiris weapon.
The new Tusk of the Boar Breech-Loaded Grenade Launcher and returning Multimach CCX Submachine Gun added to the loot pool.
These weapons will reappear as featured weapons throughout the remainder of the Season and persist as part of the loot pools in The Final Shape.
Once these weapons are added, here is what the remainder of the Season of the Wish loot pools will look like for these game modes:
Trials of Osiris
Iron Banner
Nightfalls
To account for the length of this Season and that upcoming Episodes will be longer than previous Destiny 2 Seasons, we're increasing the Nightfall weapon pool to eight weapons. The plan is for Trials of Osiris to return to six weapons in rotation, to allow its Adept weapons to have more chances to be featured, taking into account the weeks that Trials of Osiris will be disabled (i.e., Iron Banner weeks).
Trials of Osiris
Iron Banner
Nightfalls
While we've had a chance to enjoy Iron Banner three times already this Season, Lord Saladin Forge will be returning to the Tower once again to help prepare Guardians for The Final Shape. With the extended Season, we'll be adding two more chances to jump back in and commemorate the Iron Lords.
Iron Banner Dates
As we head toward The Final Shape, we're honoring Guardians with a new weekly gift of Bright Dust. Starting on March 5, players can visit the Eververse store to claim 700 Bright Dust each week leading up to the launch of The Final Shape. Make sure to log in, get your Dust, and spend wisely, Guardians.
On March 5, the cap for Armor Synthesis Threader bounties will reset. This will behave like a standard Seasonal reset, and players will once again have eight available bounties per character. This is a great opportunity to earn more Synthweave as we lead up to The Final Shape. If you currently have unfinished bounties, make sure to complete them before March 5, as they won't stack with the eight bounties available after the reset.
I'm just a silly little cursed Thrall; just a silly little guy. You wouldn't punch me, right?

While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of what's recently been reported in our :

- Sliding and shooting a weapon while surged cancels the effects of the Lightning Surge Aspect.
- The Promethium Spur Exotic is gaining less class ability energy than intended from Solar weapon kills.
- The "Tying It All Together" quest from Ada-1 may not successfully grant players their Glimmer reward if they already have over 250,000 Glimmer in their inventory.
- For Titans, Revitalizing Blast is not weakening Champions or bosses if the Consecration Solar Aspect is equipped.

When a build just works for you, it just works for you. And if you make some nice and fun clips and share how you use it with the rest of us, well, you might get featured here next.
Movie of the Week: Cryosthesia 77K and Assassin's Cowl
It's February, and love is in the air. While some people are looking for that special someone, I'm looking for someone with their (Special) Sniper Rifle watching my back in Trials. Is that too much to ask?
Art of the Week by Rev via Twitter
That's it for this week. Hopefully you're enjoying nabbing some sweet loot in Riven's Wishes. While the Last Wish weapons seem to be popular (as they should be), we're seeing a lot more sleek-looking weapons around the Tower, thanks to the Festival of the Lost and Dawning Mementos. It's been great seeing veteran Guardians help New Lights find the rewards that will best suit them. Keep it up.
We'll be back next week with more updates. Until then, be good to each other, and thanks again for the record-breaking outpouring of support for Game2Give!
