Hey all,
Over the last few days we've been seeing some incredible videos where Guardians could down Raid bosses (well, any bosses) when combining Howl of the Storm (Titan Aspect) with a few well-placed shots from a Hunter's Golden Gun.
With Monument of Triumph launching tomorrow, we'll be disabling Howl of the Storm.

Hey all,
In our 7k+ word Weapon Sandbox preview, we missed changes coming to the Praxic Blade on June 9. We're getting this added to the article now.
PRAXIC BLADE
The point of these changes is to allow the Praxic Blade to still act as a primary weapon when paired with an actual primary weapon, but to reduce the surplus of special ammo so that it cannot be paired as easily with another special weapon.

This will help you to push past the limitations of your older gear. Keep anything that you enjoy using but be open to replacing gear as your Power Level grows.
Q) What do all of these weapon perks do?
A) Most weapon perks offer informational tooltips. Hover over the weapon perk and it will tell you what it does. There are several community-made resources available that dig deeper on weapon rolls and perks. The best way to figure out how a weapon works is to use it yourself!
TWID update: Minor hiccup.
Pantheon will not feature NotSwap.
Feats, however, will be present.
F5 the article. Change should already be live.

A few updates:
1\. Emblem art is being updated to include Rise of Iron and Monument of Triumph.
2\. For our Korean Guardians, we are also ensuring that you will qualify for the emblem if you began playing during Shadowkeep.
As a reminder, this emblem will be granted to qualifying players in waves.

Q) I haven’t played since before The Edge of Fate, what is the best way to level up and increase my power?
A) Freshly returning Guardians will start at 10 Power, but loot will drop at 300+ Power as a quick catch-up method -- we removed the catch-up chest in favor of natural drops! Pay close attention to the rewards that each activity grants to optimize your Guardian’s Power gain, as various activities and their respective difficulties reward different amounts of gear Power.

If anything comes up during testing or validation leading to a delay, or we're able to move the fix up to an earlier release date, we'll let you know.
As mentioned in our TWID last week, any unclaimed Trials of Osiris engrams will be reset to 0 when Monument of Triumph launches tomorrow.
Head over to Saint-14 in the Tower hangar to claim those engrams ahead of maintenance.
Stay tuned to http://nitter.net/BNGServerStatus "Bungie Server Status" for exact maintenance timings.

[Mon Jun 8 18:02:50 UTC 2026]
We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us.
From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning.
With gratitude,
The Destiny 2 Art Team
While we're getting ready to deliver your hard-earned Commander's Salute and Gold Stars emblems into participating accounts, Guardians can still participate before this Community Challenge ends on May 12 at reset time.
UPDATE: The issue affecting the Flamecaller, Mindsculptor, and Death's Majesty Sets has been resolved. Players with them equipped should now be able to log back into Destiny 2 without issue.
If you are still encountering issues, please create a thread in our Help Forum: http://bung.ie/help

These will be available to all players via Universal Bungienet Codes, which we'll share later this week. Stay tuned and thank you again for joining us.
See you in the morning for Patch Notes. 6 AM Pacific.
We're aware of an issue where Steam players who log out with the Flamecaller Set, Mindsculptor Set, or Death's Majesty Set equipped are unable to log back into the game.
The team has determined the cause of this issue and is actively working to resolve it.

[Wed Mar 25 16:58:15 UTC 2026]
We are aware that the Initial Calibration quest from Arms Week is still present for players who were affected by yesterday's Guardian Games event page issue.
This quest can be safely ignored as it is not intended to be present in the current event and cannot currently be completed. We are investigating getting this quest removed from player inventories at the next weekly reset.

[Wed Mar 25 17:54:26 UTC 2026]
Update: We have completed delivery of the Animal Instinct emblem to the remaining qualifying players who were not caught in our first round. Thank you for your patience!

Someone just asked about the Arc Handcannon from Crucible but our feed is going too fast for a direct reply.
It's Dire Promise in an Arc trench coat. One of our more PvP centric team members who's obsessed with lightning has been waiting a while for this one.

> Yeah, it's a bit sappy and sentimental... but that's how we're feeling while reading all of your stories over the last week.
We've made updates to this article based on additional questions and community feedback from over the weekend.
Q) I haven’t played in a while. Are my old weapons and armor still usable?
A) Your previous gear is a great starting point for getting back into Destiny 2. As you continue to play, you will earn new and higher Tiered gear that has increased stats, Armor Set Bonuses, and weapons with additional perks to select.

We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it.

Should we delay?

Following this morning's Update 9.5.6 deployment, the Guardian Games event page and Tower podium were not showing as intended for some players. The Arms Week event was incorrectly shown instead.
The cause of this issue has been resolved and erroneous podium shields should be corrected over the next 24 hours. Apologies for the delayed start to Guardian Games.

\- Slightly increase the time it takes to get ammo refunded when blocking
\- Strongholds will no longer allow for infinite blocking with Special Ammo swords
\--We've seen feedback that it felt bad to watch from your ghost as a team mate blocked for 3 minutes straight without reviving you or doing any damage to a given boss - sometimes we need you to go on the attack!
-Reduced ammo refunded by light attacks
Orders achieved, Guardians! We asked for 15 million kills in two weeks, you delivered them in less than five days. Then we upped the ante to 50 million and you reached that number with days to spare before the official deadline! Zavala couldn't be prouder of how you have completed his original and escalated Commander's Orders.

Even if we're not shipping a new Raid, MoT invites you to visit a large slate of endgame content, the new Pantheon lineup, and even Gambit!
We generally want to avoid disabling abilities or weapons, especially for days like tomorrow, but we want to ensure your experiences aren't trivialized by the bug.
We'll get this fixed up as soon as possible.
To the Destiny 2 community,
Thank you.
As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose.

Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters.
You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny.
With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old.
