This Week in Destiny - 06/06/2024

This week in Destiny we're celebrating the launch of The Final Shape! We're so excited to see everyone jump into the new expansion. There is a lot to do, and we have even more unlocking soon. We are less than a day away from the launch of the Salvation's Edge raid, and we've got some new information to help with your planning.

List of topics for the week:

  • More Salvation's Edge World First race details.
  • Salvation's Edge Bungie Rewards.
  • Save the date for these upcoming events.
  • Aldrovanda Witherhoard weapon ornament now available.

Salvation's Edge World First Race

With Salvation's Edge launching tomorrow, we want to provide some additional details to help you with your planning.

Disabled Items List

Here's the list of armor, perks, and Fragments that will be disabled for the raid until server reset on June 11. Please ensure the builds you're planning account for the following being disabled:

Armor

  • Lucky Pants

Perks

  • Cascade Point
  • Magnificent Howl

Fragments

  • Facet of Command
    • This will be re-enabled on June 9 after Contest Mode has ended.

Please note that players will not be prevented from equipping disabled Fragments or items with disabled perks, but the effects will not work when in the raid during the disabled time frames listed above. Additional entries may be added as we approach the raid launch. Please visit our Disabled Items List to get the most up-to-date list as you prepare for the raid.

In addition to this list, make sure to also check out last week's TWID for details on the completion criteria and official rules.

Watch On Twitch Rivals

And for those looking to catch all the action, we're partnering with Twitch Rivals to bring you full coverage of the World First race. Tune in and watch as the top fireteams race to be the first to complete Salvation's Edge.

FRIDAY MAINTENANCE

To prepare the server for the World First Race, we will be performing short maintenance for Destiny 2 on June 7. It will start at 6 AM PT and is expected to last 1 hour so we can make a few final preparations before the raid. Please take this downtime into consideration as you prepare. 

SALVATION'S EDGE EMBLEMS

Beyond the bragging rights and amazing loot, players will also have the chance to earn some sweet emblems. The brave Guardians who can complete Salvation's Edge on Contest Mode will earn this Hunker Down emblem.

Known Issues List |  Help Forums |  Bungie Help Twitter

3D AUDIO

We are currently investigating an issue where PC players with 3D audio enabled will not receive any audio output from the game. As a temporary workaround, players with Windows Sonic for Headphones, Dolby Atmos, or any other 3D audio setting enabled in their Windows Spatial Sound settings should switch the setting to Off.

RAID RACE DISABLES

For an up-to-date list of disabled items, Aspects, Fragments, or subclasses for the Salvation's Edge raid World First race, players should see our Disabled Items List Help article Stay tuned to Bungie Help for updates.

KNOWN ISSUES

While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of the latest issues that were reported to us in our #Help forum:

  • The description for the Deconstruct perk does not reflect the recent change made in Update 8.0.0.1. Deconstruct now refills ammo from reserves.
  • Khvostov 7G 0X's trait Eyes Up, Guardian incorrectly states that the ricochet shots deal more damage.
  • Khvostov 7G 0X's ricochet shots do not benefit from Kinetic Surge armor mods.
  • During The Final Shape campaign, if players do not open the chest in The Blooming Deep Lost Sector before the cutscene plays, the loot will be lost.
  • The Leaving The Final Shape Campaign pop-up is displaying placeholder art.
  • Activating Prismatic Hunter's Blink Dagger while mid-grapple causes the player to fall.
  • The Solar Hunter's Knock 'Em Down Aspect does not increase the number of Blade Barrage projectiles.
  • The ability description for the Hunter Arc Staff Super does not mention that the three-attack combo or ground slam attack applies Blind.
  • Vestiges won't auto-convert into a Memory item if another Memory item is in your inventory. Players must obtain another Vestige after the Memory is used for Vestiges to convert into another Memory.
  • Old Seasonal currencies from Seasons 20, 21, 22, and 23 were not automatically removed.
  • Players who were tracking Triumphs that were sunset with the launch of The Final Shape cannot untrack them.
  • Players who completed the Transmigration mission but did not unlock Prismatic will need to replay the mission solo to acquire the new subclass.
  • Due to an issue, the ability to swap weapon perks via the API has been disabled.
  • When launching into the first mission of the campaign, the difficulty setting will always display as "Normal" prior to launch. Legendary difficulty can be toggled after launching into the activity.
  • Players may experience a crash when attempting to reshape a weapon that is no longer present in their inventory. This can be resolved by beginning a craft of a new weapon then backing out.


For a full list of emergent issues in Destiny 2, review our Known Issues article. If you observe other issues, please report them to our #Help forum.

Finality Takes Shape

We've come a long way with the Witness. As we reach our final confrontation with the Voice in the Darkness, it feels mandatory to have it here.

Bio via Twitter/X

Strand Saves the Day

Yeah, grapple can be a monster for damage rotations in the right hands, but at the end of the day, it's more of a high mobility tool. Especially if you can't jump.

Movie of the Week:


That's everything for this week. If you've played through the campaign already, now is a good time to get some more reps in with Prismatic and find the builds that suit your playstyle. You've also got a brand-new Artifact and Season Pass Exotic Pulse Rifle to explore, so plenty of new toys to play around with.

We'll be back next week with another TWID. Until then, pace yourself, and be good to each other.
