With the Episode: Revenant update rolling out in October 2024, Bungie is bringing some fresh twists to Destiny 2. Now, if you’re hunting for your next challenge, the map conveniently showcases which activity is featured with a handy icon. Every week, players can dive into two different featured raids and dungeons. However, there’s still a bit of mystery as the game itself doesn’t give you a heads-up about future featured activities.
In this guide to Destiny 2’s rotation, we’ll explain why keeping an eye on featured raids and dungeons is crucial. Plus, we’ve got a handy calendar to show you what hardcore activity is on the menu for the current week. Remember, these epic challenges swap out every Tuesday when Destiny 2 resets for the week.
### Destiny 2 Raid Rotation This Week
Each week, two different raids take the spotlight, rotating in a staggered schedule. Just a heads up—Salvation’s Edge, the latest raid, won’t show up as a featured raid until a newer one comes in to steal the show.
You’ll notice these rotations follow a pattern, though they can be adjusted for various reasons, like Bungie tweaking the schedule. To be sure you’re on track, look for that gold circle indicating where the high-powered rewards are hiding.
### Destiny 2 Dungeon Rotation This Week
As with raids, you get two featured dungeons each week, cycling on a regular basis. The new kid on the block, Vesper’s Host, won’t enter the featured lineup until another dungeon debuts.
These schedules are mostly predictable but can shift around if Bungie decides to move things. Keep an eye out for the gold circle that marks the focus for that week’s powerful loot.
### What It Means to Feature a Raid and Dungeon
In Destiny 2, the weekly rotation of different activities can have big implications, especially when it comes to the endgame attractions like raids and dungeons. For those diving into Destiny, raids involve teams of six players tackling what’s widely considered the game’s toughest challenges. Dungeons, on the other hand, are a bit more laid-back—akin to mini-raids—requiring only three players and can even be tackled solo with practice.
When a raid or dungeon gets the “featured” tag, completing it nets you a Pinnacle Power loot piece. Better yet, you can go through the encounters repeatedly, offering more loot opportunities. So, if something like the Last Wish raid is featured, you can replay it to grind for that elusive weapon pattern you’ve been eyeing. It’s a departure from the norm, where you typically earn loot just once per week for the same raid.
Each Tuesday marks the changeover when a new featured raid and dungeon step into the spotlight. Just a quick note—the latest entries to the raid and dungeon roster won’t ever be featured, but they do dish out pinnacle gear every week regardless.
