TWAB Highlights

New Rewards Coming Next Season

Players will explore the city to learn about the Veil and uncover Ishtar Collective data through Osiris’s research in a quest available to all Lightfall owners.

Completing the final step rewards players with three new Strand Aspects (one per class):

  • Titan: Flechette Storm
  • Hunter: Threaded Specter
  • Warlock: The Wanderer

These Aspects can be earned through the quest and will not require additional Strand Meditations. The quest will be available in Neomuna perpetually for all Lightfall owners. More information will be revealed as Season of the Deep approaches. Here’s a look at concept art for the new Legendary weapon players will get upon completing this quest.

Iron Banner Date Change

The bug that causes Guardians to disappear after playing Crucible will be fixed on March 16, two days after Iron Banner starts. To avoid starting Iron Banner with invisible Guardians, it will be delayed by a week. Trials of Osiris will start next weekend instead. There will only be a one-week break between the first and second week of Iron Banner. More news will be shared in next week’s TWAB.

New Dates:

  • Trial of Osiris: March 17 (was March 24)
  • Iron Banner: March 21 (was March 14)

Character Boost vs Campaign Boost

Lightfall has two types of boosts: Lightfall Character Boost and Lightfall Campaign Skip Boost.

  • The Lightfall Character Boost appears when a player hits the soft cap without completing Lightfall and provides high Power level gear without skipping the campaign.
  • The Lightfall Campaign Skip Boost appears when a player completes Lightfall and skips the campaign while unlocking Strand, and includes high Power level gear only if the main character has hit the Soft Cap.

Destiny 2 Ritual Reset – Daylight Savings Time

Starting March 12, 2023, Destiny 2’s daily and weekly reset time in the US will change to 10 AM PDT (1700 UTC or UTC -7). For further details on ritual resets, please refer to the Bungie Ritual Reset Guide.

I suggest referring to the complete TWAB post for a more detailed overview.
