Step into the Court of Blades in Act II of Destiny 2: Heresy, Launching Today

The annual Guardian Games and Moments of Triumph events are live now

Today, Act II of Destiny 2: Heresy launches, bringing new activities, five new Heretical Arsenal weapons, new artifact mods, and more.

Court of Blades, a new three player activity, challenges players to battle through escalating waves of enemies in a fight for the throne of the Taken King. Inspired by the original Destiny’s Court of Oryx, this activity introduces rune-based mechanics that allow players to enhance their playstyles and tackle increasingly difficult encounters.
 

Guardian Games also makes its grand return today, allowing Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters to compete for class-based glory in a variety of challenges. This year introduces Rushdown, a boss rush-style activity featuring challenging encounters from Destiny 2 campaigns, Seasonal story missions, and Exotic missions, with escalating difficulty and three distinct modes. Completing at least three encounters in any mode guarantees a Guardian Games weapon drop, while those who conquer Expert mode will have the chance to earn fully Masterworked Guardian Games weapons.

The annual Moments of Triumph event continues, celebrating Guardians’ accomplishments throughout the year of The Final Shape. Open to all, players can complete Triumphs across various activities to earn exclusive rewards and the coveted MMXXIV Title.
 

Players who complete any of the following by 9:59 AM PDT on May 6, 2025, will earn the corresponding Bungie Rewards offer to purchase these items from the Bungie Store:
 

• Moments of Triumph T-Shirt: Complete the Moments of Triumph T-Shirt Token Triumph

Also revealed during the Heresy Act II Developer Livestream last week, Act III will introduce even more content for Guardians to conquer after it launches on April 1. The Rite of the Nine event will be available to all players and features unique twists on dungeon delving, rewarding challengers with refreshed dungeon weapons with a striking Nine-inspired look. Featuring three dungeons – Prophecy, Spire of the Watcher, and Ghost of the Deep – players can adjust the challenge across three new modes, bringing features such as in-game tutorial mechanics for newer players and more challenging variations for veteran Guardians.

Heresy Act III will also introduce the revamped Sunless Cell strike from the original Destiny and a new vehicle-based PvP mode, Heavy Metal, where players can battle using Brigs and Drakes, the mechs and tanks of Destiny 2.
