'Destiny 2' (ALL) Brings Back Destiny's Vault of Glass Raid

by Rainier on May 19, 2021 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT

Destiny 2 is a first-person action game that takes the player on an epic journey to defend humanity from annihilation.

Humanity’s last safe city has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force, led by Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped the city’s Guardians of their power, and forced the survivors to flee. You will venture to mysterious, unexplored worlds of our solar system to discover an arsenal of weapons and devastating new combat abilities. To defeat the Red Legion and confront Ghaul, you must reunite humanity’s scattered heroes, stand together, and fight back to reclaim our home.

In Destiny 2, the last safe city on Earth has fallen and lay in ruins, occupied by a powerful new enemy and his elite army, the Red Legion. Every player creates their own character called a "Guardian," humanity's chosen protectors. As a Guardian in Destiny 2, players must master new abilities and weapons to reunite the city's forces, stand together and fight back to reclaim their home.


At 10AM PDT/6PM BST on May 22nd, Bungie will release the first raid from the original Destiny, Vault of Glass, in Destiny 2.

Guardians will return to the depths of Venus to navigate the fractures in space and time, and terminate Atheon, Time’s Conflux, before it can become an unstoppable threat.

A CLASSIC RACE FOR GLORY WITH NEW CHALLENGES

Raids are the pinnacle activity in Destiny 2, and the return of Vault of Glass brings twists to the classic raid. These new challenges will keep even veteran fireteams on their toes as they train for their chance at the World First title and belt.

At launch, Vault of Glass will have both Contest Mode and a World First race, and Guardians who are training to beat the classic raid will need to also complete challenging Triumphs. Bungie has released Vault of Glass's restrictions:

  • Vault of Glass will launch with Contest Mode enabled for 24 hours.
    • Players will need to be at 1300 Power to be at the cap for all of the encounters.
  • Clearing Vault of Glass with Contest Mode active is the first step to access the new Challenge Mode in the Director and the Tempo's Edge Triumph.
  • Completing Tempo's Edge, a curated list of Triumphs, in this newly unlocked Challenge Mode, will be how a fireteam crosses the World First finish line and claims their prize.
  • To enforce the Triumph requirements in the Challenge Mode, your team will wipe if you fail the success conditions during each encounter.

Bungie Rewards are also available for Guardians who promptly finish the raid, unlocking the ability to pick up exclusive items from the Bungie Store.

Want to follow along with the World First race live? Tune into ProfessorBroman’s Destiny Raid Day Tailgate, starting an hour before the raid is live. Broman and Reck will break down the race for World First as the doors to the Vault of Glass open for the first time in years!

There is only one path forward: into the Vault. The race for World First for Vault of Glass kicks off at 10AM PDT/6PM BST on May 22nd, so gear up Guardians!

Destiny 2 is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
