A New Frontier in Dungeon Design

Vesper's Host marks a significant milestone in Destiny 2's history as the first dungeon to feature Contest Mode, a mechanic previously reserved for raids1. This addition elevates the dungeon experience to new heights, offering a level of challenge that will test the mettle of every fireteam.

Contest Mode: Leveling the Playing Field

For the first 48 hours after launch, Contest Mode will be active, imposing strict power level restrictions2. Here's what you need to know:

  • Power Level Requirement: 1985
  • Duration: October 11, 10 AM PT to October 13, 10 AM PT
  • Aggressive enemies and resurrection tokens
  • Potential enrage mechanics in certain encounters

The Race is On

  • Bungie has upped the ante by introducing a Dungeon Race for Vesper's Host. The first three fireteams to complete the dungeon will be crowned victors, earning exclusive rewards and bragging rights3. To participate, make sure you:
  • Own The Final Shape dungeon key
  • Pick up the "Rogue Network" quest from Spider in the Last City Seasonal hub
  • Have all fireteam members loot the final chest for completion to count

Rewards Worth the Challenge

While many details remain shrouded in mystery, we do know that conquering Vesper's Host during Contest Mode will yield some enticing rewards:

  • A special emblem
  • Guaranteed drop of the dungeon's exclusive Exotic weapon

Rumors are swirling that the Exotic might be a reimagined version of the beloved Ice Breaker sniper rifle from the original Destiny, now potentially wielding Stasis power

Unknowns and Speculation

As with any new Destiny 2 content, there's plenty of room for speculation:

  • What's the story behind Vesper's Host?
  • Will the dungeon tie into the ongoing Fallen storylines?
  • What other legendary weapons and armor sets await discovery?

  1. Start grinding for that 1985 Power Level now
