Grandmaster Nightfall Catch-Up on November 19
With Revenant we've been trying out offering previously time-gated weekly content all-at-once up front. It started with the story missions, and we are continuing that trend with our Grandmaster journey this Episode. For veterans looking to gild the Title, we're offering more flexibility in how quickly you can reach your goal.
Starting on November 19, you will be able to access all nine Grandmaster Nightfalls for the Episode in the Grandmaster catch-up node. Grab your favorite fireteam or find one through Fireteam Finder and continue your gilded journey, mighty Conqueror.
Vesper’s Host Speedrun Results
Last week, streamers from 14 regions participated in a Vesper’s Host speedrun, where teams had three hours to run Vesper’s Host as quickly as they could.
We’re excited to announce that the team from Italy, composed of Giornogaming, Zrapt0r, and SerpeFPS, took the top spot with a time of 14 minutes and 45 seconds.
The team will be receiving a full set of the Vesper’s Host Bungie Rewards items, available from the Bungie Store, and $1,000 USD worth of Twitch subs each.

Bungie Foundation Hurricane Relief Wrap Up
Once again, you have proven that in times of crisis, Guardians rise together. We’re thrilled to announce that The Bungie Foundation’s recent Hurricane relief campaign raised more than $375,000! Because of your incredible generosity, our humanitarian partners, Team Rubicon and Direct Relief, can continue delivering life-saving aid to communities impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton—providing vital supplies, medical care, and support to help families return to safely rebuilt homes.
Thank you to everyone who answered the call and showed that we are stronger together. Your kindness is a beacon of light, letting those affected know they aren’t alone on their journey to recovery. We’re deeply grateful for your trust and belief in our mission. THANK YOU! 💙
Spooky Builds to Haunt Your Sectors
We asked and you delivered. Here are our favorite #BuildsOfTheFOTL submissions. You have all earned the Hallowed Coronation and Photoionization emblems.
Prismatic Warlock with Vesper of Radius for an electrifying combat:
Solar Warlock with Speaker's Helm and constant Restoration:
Void Titan with Heart of Inmost Light and Fighting Lion that makes everything Volatile:
Void Hunter with Radiant Dance Machine and Parasite that can't stop making Orbs of Power:
Stasis Titan with Blastwave Striders and Alethonym for explosive jumps and damage:
More Fashion, More Pumpkins
To keep the Festival of the Lost mood going, we have just a few more of your creations. We originally planned to only have pumpkin submissions for one week, but you all had so many great ones that we wanted to reward them! We’ll keep looking for submissions throughout the remainder of Festival of the Lost, so if you have something special to share, keep them coming! Pumpkins get the AOTW emblem, Fashion gets Felis Galaxias, and both of them also get Hallowed Coronation.
That's a lovely flock of ghosts and pumpkins
Felis Galaxias in a pumpkin
Lone Wolf is a nice, new perk, and it deserves its own pumpkin
A Titan? GASP, PERRY THE TITAN???
We thought Vivi was a Black Mage, not a Syntho Titan? Oh, well
Are those... Oh, dear, yes, they are
Go, go, Power Guardians!

Weapon Perk RNG Issues - November Update & Double Dungeon Drops
In Destiny 2 Update 8.1.0.4 earlier this week, we issued a fix for RNG perk weighting issues. We'd like to take a moment to thank all our community members who helped in identifying this issue.
In thanks for their efforts, and to help players get their hands on a few impacted weapons, we're planning the following:
Starting November 19 through December 3, the Vesper's Host Dungeon will offer double drops for encounter and activity completions. Both weapon and armor rewards can drop from encounter completions. This will be a great time to hunt for your desired rolls on weapons, or even hit Master difficulty to earn some Artifice armor.
Starting November 19, Banshee-44 will have a small collection of weapons in the Tower with curated perk rolls. Our goal is to get you some perk combinations that were a bit harder to earn due to the bug. We do not currently have a planned deadline for acquisition, but we recommend picking these weapons up at your earliest convenience.
- Rose - Fluted Barrel, Accurized Rounds, Slideshot, Explosive Payload, Smooth Grip, Handling MW
- Multimach - Polygonal Rifling + Tactical Mag + Attrition Orbs + Kinetic Tremors + Reload MW
- Indebted Kindness - Smart Drift Control + Tactical Mag + Loose Change + Voltshot + Velocity MW
- Compass Rose - Corkscrew Rifling, Light Mag, Snapshot Sights, Slideshot, Handling MW
- Hothead (Adept) - Hard Launch + Impact Casing + Tracking Module + Clown Cartridge + Reload MW
- VS Chill Inhibitor - Countermass + Spike Grenades + Envious Arsenal + Bait and Switch + Reload MW
Note: Dungeon-related weapons will require dungeon ownership, and at least one dungeon completion.
We're still aiming to have a deep-dive article covering this issue in more detail. This may take a bit of time, and we plan to provide a target date when we can.
Festival of the Lost Weapon Perks Update
Last week we investigated an issue where the focusing options for FOTL weapons on Eva Levante featured older weapons and rolls than intended. This issue has now been resolved. All FOTL weapon drops, including focusing and decoding at Eva, will now drop as the new 2024 weapons with their respective perks.
Recent Fixes
This past Tuesday, Update 8.1.0.4 went live with several new bug fixes. Read the full patch notes for details on what changed with this update.
Known Issues
- Players are able to pick up a previous Solstice quest from Eva during Festival of the Lost.
- The Arcane Embrace Shotgun curated roll from Eva has the Trench Barrel perk on it, which should not be an available perk for this weapon.
- If players advance to the point where the Ice Breaker Catalyst is meant to drop before they own the weapon, the Triumph for the Catalyst will be auto completed, and the player will not be able to acquire the Catalyst.
- Some players are unable to craft tonics on specific characters.
- Health is not regenerating in Vanguard Ops.
- Garden of Salvation's Voltaic Tether Triumph is unobtainable due to encounter soft-lock when following Triumph requirements.
- GUITAR errors are occurring at an elevated rate.

Spill The Tea
‘Spill the tea’ is a popular expression used online that means you are sharing gossip or revealing some shocking news. It fits Savathûn like a glove.
Sometimes You Need to Feel like a Combat Helicopter
The first comment on this reddit post perfectly encapsulates this amazing Solar Warlock build with Eyes of Tomorrow and Wings of Sacred Dawn: ‘Bro is the ADU’.
That’s everything we have for this week. We hope you are enjoying Festival of the Lost and that you are completing the Event Card triumph after triumph. And you still have a lot of time to get the rolls you are looking for. We are happy we got a Fourth Time’s The Charm and Precision Instrument Arcane Embrace, but The Lone Wolf and Closing Time Mechabre we've heard is very good for PvP still eludes us...
Just drop it already, Headless Ones!
