Destiny 2 season 17 dungeon timing detailed by Bungie
Destiny 2‘s 17th season is still unnamed a week out from release. Players have no idea what their Guardians will get up to starting May 24. Bungie dropped some intriguing details about the new season. These include what to expect in terms of holidays, vault space and the shiny new Dungeon.
The dungeon is going to be the pinnacle endgame content of season 17, so let’s start there first. We don’t know the theme of the dungeon or the location it will take place in Destiny. But we know when it comes out and what type of rewards we’ll see.
Unlike previous seasonal dungeons, the season 17 dungeon won’t launch on May 24 alongside the rest of the new content. Instead, it’ll appear in-game on Friday, May 27, at 1 p.m. ET. It’s also not free-to-play, so players will either need to own the Digital Deluxe Edition of The Witch Queen expansion or pick up a special bundle in the real-money store for about 20 bucks.
The dungeon is packed with rewards. Players can get their hands on four new weapons, two reprised weapons, one Exotic weapon (and its Catalyst), an Exotic accessory (a ship or a Sparrow, Bungie didn’t clarify which), two profile emblems, and a armor set. Players can also earn Artifice armor sets (with more mod slot) by running the Master difficulty version.
Players expecting to play on launch day should be 1550 Power for normal difficulty. Bungie isn’t announcing the Master requirements prior to the release.
Outside of the dungeon, Bungie is making some big changes to the Solstice of Heroes summer event, which will just be called Solstice from now on. Players will have the ability to use their event cards to solve challenges, earn titles and seals as well as unlock special rewards for future events. For players who really love events, they can complete challenges in every event to unlock an overall event title sometime next year.
Finally, Bungie revealed that players are getting 100 more bank slots and new Trials loot in season 17, which includes a sidearm, fusion rifle, and armor set (seen in the image above). However, Trials and its rewards will be on hiatus until June 10 due to the new season.
Bungie will likely reveal the new season’s theming and story shortly before it goes live on Tuesday morning.
