Guardians, Get Ready for Vesper's Host: Destiny 2's Most Challenging Dungeon Yet
The next chapter in Destiny 2's epic saga is almost upon us. With Episode Revenant launching on October 8, 2024, all eyes are on the highly anticipated new dungeon: Vesper's Host.
Set to release on October 11, 2024, this dungeon promises to push even the most seasoned Guardians to their limits
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

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
