BLACK ARMORY

Available Now! (Annual Pass Required)

Visit this page for more details about Season of the Forge and Black Armory.

Throughout each of the three seasons and the Forsaken Annual Pass that rolls out alongside them, Bungie intends to keep your Director filled with things to do each week. Some of those experiences will come and go (like the Dawning and Crimson Days), but others (like the Black Armory forges and raids) remain active after their initial introduction, building on the foundation of activities you can experience each week. For all players, the Dawning will light up on December 11. Learn more by visiting Bungie.net.

THE LOST FORGES (Annual Pass Required)

Power Difficulty: Enemies start at around 610 and the bosses are at 640 Power (I am currently confirming this info)

Summary: An all-new three-player matchmade activity that will unfold over the Season. Survive the chaos at each Forge to craft the Black Armory’s Golden Age weapons.

Release Timeline:

• Volundr Forge – Available Now
• Gofannon Forge – Unlocks Dec 07
• Izanami Forge – Unlocks Dec 18

Notes: Once all of the Forges release they will be on a cycle like the Dreaming City.

Another forge was listed on Bungie.net called Bergusia Forge however I do not know if this is going to be part of the Black Armory forges listed above or something else. I will provide more details when available by Bungie.

SCOURGE OF THE PAST RAID (Annual Pass Required)

Releases: Tuesday, December 07 @ 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST

Recommended Power: 640, but has no minimum Power requirement

Info from Bungie blog post: When we revealed the Annual Pass earlier this year, we mentioned the inclusion of new Raid Lairs. In Season of the Forge’s reveal earlier this week, we said it contains a Raid, not a Raid Lair, a concept we had introduced last year. Lairs were extensions of an existing Raid setting. Black Armory’s “Scourge of the Past” doesn’t fit that definition. It takes place in a new setting, tells its own story, and isn’t related to the events of the Dreaming City. Destiny Raids have come in many shapes and sizes, from “Crota’s End” to “Last Wish”, and “Scourge of the Past” falls within that spectrum.

Scourge will release on Friday, December 7 at 9 AM. Its recommended Power is 640, but there is no minimum Power requirement. Any Guardian who owns the Annual Pass can drop into the space and explore. Good luck!

POWER INCREASE

Starting in Destiny 2 Update 2.1.1, the power cap for all players of Destiny 2: Forsaken will be increased to 650. Here are some facts regarding power:

• All players of Destiny 2: Forsaken may reach 650 Power, no Annual Pass required
• The “soft cap” will remain at 500 Power
• Players under 550 Power should expect to see Prime Engrams more frequently and receive higher Power bumps, to help them reach end-game levels
• Powerful reward sources will remain consistent for those who own Destiny 2: Forsaken
• There will be new powerful reward sources for those who own the Annual Pass

VETERANS OF THE HUNT BUNDLE

Bungie is planning to distribute these packages in the Destiny 2 Update 2.1.3, which is planned to release on December 18. Stay tuned to @Bungie for future announcements.
