Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching and love is in the air in Destiny 2, which sees the return of its Crimson Days even next week on Tuesday, February 13.
At the heart of the event is a week-long 2v2 Crucible playlist. The mode will be 2v2 Clash with a round-based twist. Bungie is also debuting The Burnout, "a new take on The Burning Shrine set in a future timeline where the Vex have succeeded in altering our reality."
New Valentine's Day-themed rewards, such as the Flaunting Dance Emote, will be available during Crimson Days. Most of the rewards are found within a new Crimson Engram which are only earnable through gameplay, and are not capped or limited during the event.
Bungie says they've tuned the experience to focus on rewarding single-character play, with all Crimson Engram contents now on a "knock-out" list, preventing you from receiving duplicates until you've earned all of the new gear. Additionally, every player will receive both an Illuminated Engram and Crimson Engram when they level up, regardless of activity.
There are also five new rewards found exclusively for players who complete the following:
-
Complete the milestone “Welcome to Crimson Days” by finishing five Crimson Days matches and visiting Lord Shaxx in the Tower to earn the Fire of the Crimson Days Emblem and the Tirastrella Ghost Shell
-
Complete matches in the Crimson Days Crucible playlist for a chance to earn the Undeterred Exotic Sparrow
-
Complete either the Leviathan Raid or the Raid Lair: Eater of Worlds to claim the Dieselpunk Exotic Ornament for Wardcliff Coil from the final chest
-
Complete the Nightfall Strike during the Crimson Days event to earn the Flaunting Dance Emote.
Check out what each reward looks like below:
Tirastrella Ghost Shell
Undeterred Exotic Sparrow
Dieselpunk Exotic Ornament
While Crimson Engrams are only earnable through gameplay, you'll be able to directly purchase a specific item through Tess in exchange for Bright Dust. Gear purchased with Bright Dust will also count towards the "knock-out" list.
So find yourself a dance partner because Crimson Days returns to
Destiny 2 on February 13 and runs through February 20.
