Destiny 2 Making Raid and Dungeon Farming Easier

By Derek Nichols

Published Sep 6, 2024

Derek's love of games came at an early age when his parents first brought home the Nintendo Entertainment System. From then on, countless nights were spent hunting ducks, stomping turtles, exploring far off planets, and combing through dungeons with a trusty sword and shield. Originally growing up exclusively with Nintendo products, Derek's perspective grew to include other platforms ranging from Sony, to Microsoft, the PC, and more. As his views and opinions grew, so did the desire to connect with other players and video game fans. In 2011, his writing adventure began on his personal blog, eventually joining up with the The Best War Games crew in 2015. He currently covers everything from features and guides, to the latest breaking video game news.

Summary

Bungie will offer 2 weekly Dungeons and Raids instead of 1 starting next month when Episode: Revenant launches.
The change aims to reduce the wait time for specific mission availability from 8 to 4 weeks.
In addition to offering more activities each week, Warlord's Ruin is being added to the dungeon rotation queue.

Bungie announced plans to make it easier for Destiny 2 players to farm Dungeons and Raids from the weekly rotator playlist once Episode Revenant launches in October. While Episode Echoes continues with its final act, Bungie has started looking ahead, giving Destiny 2 players a glimpse at what is around the corner. While Bungie has yet to really detail the content coming to Episode: Revenant, the studio has begun to talk about some of the gameplay and mechanical changes that are coming to the game next month.

This discussion regarding the future of Destiny 2 is an important one, as fans have grown increasingly concerned about the franchise's future. Following the second round of major layoffs at Bungie, rumors began circulating that the team was shifting to smaller scale content additions, focusing on gameplay centered around highly replayable activities. Bungie teased the future of Destiny 2 and recently doubled down on that with news set to arrive next week regarding Codename: Frontiers. On top of the long term future, Bungie has also begun discussing upcoming changes and plans for Episode: Revenant, including a new way for players to farm gear.

Inside its weekly blog post, Bungie revealed an upcoming change to Destiny 2's weekly Dungeon and Raid rotator playlist. As fans are well aware, each week during the reset, the game cycles through 1 Dungeon and Raid activity to be featured, intending to allow players an easier opportunity to farm the armor and weapons inside those missions. However, Bungie recently admitted that player feedback has indicated it has become frustrating trying 6to farm specific gear when a certain raid or dungeon isn't made available that week.

Destiny 2 Doubling Dungeon and Raid Activities During Episode: Revenant

With Episode: Echoes, Destiny 2 is adding Warlord's Ruin to the playlist, bringing the totals to 8 dungeons and 8 raids. To allow for better farming methods, Bungie is expanding the weekly rotator to offer 2 raids and dungeons each week instead of the usual 1 and 1. The change is being made so that the maximum amount of time between when a specific activity is featured will only be 4 weeks instead of the usual 8. Starting on October 8, players will see Last Wish and Vow of the Disciple as featured Raids that week, while Shattered Throne and Duality are the Dungeons.

Ultimately, Bungie is hoping that this new system not only alleviates the current frustration as it makes certain missions available more often. Regardless, with Warlord's Ruin being added into the mix, players will have a much more efficient way to farm some of the dungeon's strongest weapons. Destiny 2 players have highlighted Indebted Kindness and the exotic void Sidearm Buried Bloodline as two can't miss weapons, fitting nicely alongside fan favorite weapons like The Call, Choir of One, and others.
