TWiD Highlights

Check out the full “This week in Destiny” on the Bungie website.

TWAB Renamed

This week at Bungie (“TWAB”) has been renamed This week in Destiny (“TWID”) to be more Destiny-specific. The main reason for this change is to be more Destiny-specific since Bungie has announced a new game (Marathon).

Here’s more from Bungie:

“Starting today, the weekly Destiny blog will be named This Week in Destiny. As you may have noticed already, each week’s blog post will be announced on official Destiny social channels rather than on Bungie’s channels, and we’ll continue to drop the occasional standalone blog with in-depth details and insights from the dev team. Now that you know the new name and the reasoning behind it, you can do what you do best, Destiny Community: Meme away! But first, please join us in bidding farewell to the TWAB and welcoming the TWID.” -Bungie

Fashion Contest

Show off your drip (outfits) using tag #DrownInTheDrip to participate!

Those featured/chosen by Bungie will get the exclusive, Prêt-à-porter fashion emblem.

Ends: June 15, 2023

Grandmaster Nightfalls

Grandmaster Nightfalls and Adept weapons become available next Tuesday, June 13.

“The Conqueror gilding node opens in Week 7”

Featured Weapon Rotation:

  • June 13: Wendigo GL3 Grenade Launcher
  • June 20: The Loaded Question Fusion Rifle
  • June 27: Braytech Osprey Rocket Launcher

We are working on updating the Grandmaster infographic for this season. It will be posted on the Nightfall page and Nightfall Schedule page by Tuesday.

Supremacy

Supremacy joins the Relentless Rotator starting next week, June 13.

“This Crucible game mode requires you to collect the crests dropped by the enemies you take down to score for your team, while you also deny the enemy their points by picking up crests from fallen allies.”

Update 7.1.0.2 Preview

Goes liveJune 13.

Preview:

  • Last Wish quest: unintended reward removed, one Deepsight weapon given.
  • Vesper of Radius Exotic returns.
  • Sunbracers Exotic: increased Solar grenade duration restored. Kephri’s Horn Titan Exotic returns, without strange interactions.
  • Grenade glitch with Barricades/Wards of Dawn fixed.
  • Collective Obligation perk in PvP: 10% damage buff.
  • Mercurial Overreach Sniper Rifle: larger reticle for better aim.

View full patch notes next week.

Trials Emblem

The Dazzling Iridescence Trials emblem was mistakenly awarded to players who didn’t meet the requirements.

  • Starting next week the emblem will only drop for those who meet the requirements on their way to the Lighthouse.
  • Players who already have the emblem can keep it in their collections but must re-earn it to equip it after the patch goes live.

Advanced Focusing

Advanced Decryption focusing has been temporarily disabled due to a problem that prevents the intended rewards. Precision Decryption focusing remains accessible while Bungie investigates the issue.

Eververse Interface

Certain UI pricing elements in Eververse will be accurately disabled upon the release of 7.1.0.2. Note: The displayed price is indeed correct.

    • Allows players to decrypt engrams for free.
    • Players receive random drops from standard Exotic engram loot pools.
    • No additional cost.

    • Expansion includes Red War, Forsaken, Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and The Witch Queen.
    • Lightfall will be available in a future season.
    • Requires ownership of the associated expansion and previously acquired all armor pieces within the engram for the player's class.
    • Cost: 1 Exotic engram, 30,000 Glimmer, and 1 Ascendant Shard.
