Summary

  • Rite of the Nine offers top-tier legendary weapons like Cruel Mercy and Inquisitor.
  • Iron Banner Scout Rifle Nature Reclaimed is a must-have for players before The Edge of Fate expansion.
  • Rite of the Nine event uncovers lore on the Nine, tying into the upcoming Fate saga in Destiny 2.

With the conclusion of the ten-year tale known as the Light and Darkness saga in Destiny 2, we’re moving swiftly towards the next chapter in the game’s narrative. Slated for release on July 15, the Edge of Fate expansion for Destiny 2 will usher in the Fate saga and Year of Prophecy, leading the franchise into a fresh, thrilling new phase. As the arrival of The Edge of Fate gets closer, all the recent happenings and upcoming events within Destiny 2 are making the anticipation for this expansion more bearable.

While the conclusion of the Episode Heresy storyline and an upcoming expansion for Destiny 2 may tempt some players to take a brief hiatus, there are plenty of enticing chances between now and the expansion’s release for players to snag some elite legendary loot in Destiny 2. This gap offers players an excellent opportunity to boost their arsenal and stockpile endgame currencies to the brim, ensuring they’re fully prepared for The Edge of Fate expansion when it arrives.

How Destiny 2 is Making the Wait for The Edge of Fate Expansion Worth It

  • The Rite of the Nine limited-time event serves as the introduction to The Edge of Fate expansion, and also offers top-tier legendary weapons, among other rare rewards
  • The Cruel Mercy pulse rifle and The Inquisitor shotgun, including their Adept versions, are available as bonus legendary weapon drops from completing Nightfall and Trials of Osiris activities
  • Iron Banner limited-time PvP event returns with a new reward
  • Episode Revenant Loot Tonics and the Episode Heresy Tome of Want provide ways to target specific loot drops while playing any activity

Why Players Shouldn’t Sleep on Destiny 2’s Rite of the Nine Event

During the ‘Rite of the Nine’ event in ‘Destiny 2’, one out of three dungeons changes each week, with varying levels of difficulty offering increasingly better prizes. These rewards are noteworthy as they include rare Adept and Holofoil legendary weapons, an exclusive Shader, emblems, and several real-life collector’s items. Despite the upcoming weapon and armor adjustments in ‘The Edge of Fate’ expansion, it might take a long time for the legendary god-roll weapons from this event to be surpassed by a new standard, if at all. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that players obtain these weapons while they are still available.

This Rite of the Nine event comes packed with unique, premium versions of the legendary weapons found in these dungeons, exclusive to this activity. Moreover, there are secret items scattered throughout the event that reveal more about Orin, the Emissary of the Nine – a character whose background could be crucial since The Edge of Fate expansion is set to delve deeply into the enigmatic faction known as the Nine.

In Destiny 2, players are able to take part in the Rite of the Nine event even if they don’t possess the corresponding Dungeon Keys.

Destiny 2’s New Iron Banner Scout Rifle is a Must-Have

During the period of May 20th through the 27th, Iron Banner makes its comeback, offering a fresh legendary weapon for you to acquire: Nature Reclaimed. This Solar, streamlined scout rifle comes with a health regeneration clip option and other perks that can challenge the current top-tier meta for legendary weapons in Destiny 2, making it an excellent addition to your arsenal. Not only is there the new scout rifle, but Iron Banner also presents an opportunity for players to earn reputation and unique rewards from both Iron Banner and Crucible at the same time, a double benefit that’s hard to resist!

The Iron Banner competition is set to resume from June 17th through the 24th. This will mark its last appearance before the release of The Edge of Fate expansion.
