The holidays are almost upon us, and in
Destiny 2 that means it's time to celebrate your Light. The game's annual celebration, The Dawning, has officially arrived, bringing with it all sorts of festive cheer.
As
previously detailed, The Dawning brings festive decorations to the Tower and Farm, in addition to a variety of activities, including snowball fights, new winter milestones, special gifting, and more.
Snow scattered throughout the Tower and Farm allow you to engage in snowball fights with fellow guardians, and you can bring them on Strikes with you to stun enemies and deal big damage. The Dawning also sees the return of Mayhem in the Crucible, the over-the-top, fast and chaotic mode where your Super meter refills incredibly fast. New winter Milestones have also been added, which you can complete by finishing either Mayhem matches or running Strikes. These Milestones will grant a Dawning engram each upon completion, and reset each week. Lastly, The Dawning adds gifting and receiving, so you can actually go out and craft items to give to vendors and receive something in return.
The Dawning celebration will take place in game for several weeks and is scheduled to ended on January 9.
