After your feedback, I retested the picks I had written off. Volt Shot came off Nation of Beasts and No Hesitation moved to the top. Ten crafted weapons with their third and fourth column perks, plus four non-crafted guns worth grinding instead.

Bungie's weekly Destiny 2 blog stopped without a farewell post, and most guides have not caught up. Here is what replaced it and where patch information lives now.

Three catalyst guides, three different numbers. Bungie confirmed 25 new Destiny 2 catalysts in Monument of Triumph plus nine perks added to older stat-only ones, while community trackers count 26. We break down every drop path, which catalysts to chase first now that the deadline is gone, and which widely repeated claims we could not verify.

Most Eighty-Six god roll guides were written before Destiny 2's final major patch, so their ammo math and farming routes are already wrong. Update 9.7.0 cut the Vortex heavy attack cost and gave the sword an intrinsic Overload stun. Here is the current PvE roll, the full perk pool, and how to actually farm it now.

Destiny 2's PvE sandbox is frozen. Nightfalls are gone, Champion counters moved to weapon archetypes, and armour stats were rebuilt. Here is every activity, current.

Most Grasp of Avarice loot table guides describe the version of the dungeon Bungie replaced in June 2026. This is the current drop list, encounter by encounter, covering all four legendary weapons, the Yearning Echo armor set, gear tier rules for featured and Master runs, target farming with Attunement, and the four-piece set bonus that no longer works in the Crucible.

Most guides tell you the Darkest Depths triumph needs a 30-minute Legendary clear of the full Oblation chain. The game's own triumph data says otherwise, and the timed run has a separate triumph entirely. This guide covers what Darkest Depths actually asks for, the route through the Catacombs to the Oblation tome, and how the surrounding triumphs fit together.

An all-time peak is a fixed historical event. It happened once, and it cannot change. So why do five Destiny 2 tracking sites report five different ones? We pulled the current Steam figures, traced the monthly history back to 2019, and worked out which trackers are reporting real data and which are guessing.

Hundreds of thousands of Guardians have signed the Change.org petition asking Sony to greenlight Destiny 3. Here's who started it, how to sign it, what the signature curve actually shows now that the surge has passed, and what the Days Gone 2 petition suggests about whether any of it moves a publisher.

Most Destiny 2 Wolfsbane guides still describe weekly catalyst gates that expired long ago, in a menu Bungie has since removed. This is the current state of the Exotic axe: how to get it from Heliostat, all four catalysts, the shaping roughly three quarters of players actually run, and the weapon level gates that decide what you can craft.

Most Praxic Blade guides date from Renegades launch week, and three of their core instructions are now wrong. The one-run catalyst rule was patched out, Fire and Ice moved out of the Legends node, and the fourth catalyst is no longer a mystery. Every catalyst, Form, Core and crystal, checked against a game that has stopped updating.

Destiny 2 came out on September 6, 2017, but that answer alone leaves out the PC launch seven weeks later, the free-to-play relaunch in 2019, and the fact that the 2017 campaign was deleted from the game years ago. Here's the full timeline through Bungie's final update in June 2026.

Update 9.7.0.3 gets called Destiny 2's final patch almost everywhere you look. It wasn't. Update 9.7.0.4 shipped on July 28 with no patch notes, and Bungie has switched off two armor set bonuses and a Crucible map since then with no version number attached. Here's the full chronology, and how to track changes now that patch notes have stopped.

Destiny 2 Monument of Triumph is the game's final update, and it packs 204 Triumphs, a new Legendary Marks currency and four Tenet vendors. Here is the order to work through it: the fastest Marks, the 12 Triumphs that earn the Immortal title, and what actually has a deadline.
