Welcome to Renegades.
Get Ready for the Equilibrium Dungeon Race
Scoundrels and Outlaws, it’s time to grab your Blasters and prepare to take on the Equilibrium dungeon! Evanf1997 and CBGray will be hosting dungeon race live from Bungie HQ on December 13. The pre-show kicks off at 6 AM PT and features interviews with Bungie developers, previous dungeon race winners, and more!
The official dungeon race will begin at 9 AM PT globally, daring players to conquer Renegades’ unique challenge for the chance to be crowned World First. To celebrate the first official DungeonZone broadcast from Bungie HQ, we’ve got a shiny new reward. The first fireteam to conquer Equilibrium will receive these trophies as a testament to their achievement.
Make sure to sign up your team here and read up on the rules and requirements on how to qualify for the dungeon race!
Contest Mode will be active from 9 AM PT on Saturday, December 13 until 9 AM PT on Monday, December 15. Normal Mode will become available once we confirm a successful clear of Contest Mode.
For those watching Evanf1997’s Twitch stream and CBGray’s YouTube, the Paranoia Pink emblem will be available as a drop on Twitch, or as giveaway codes across CBGray’s channels. The emblem will be available from December 13 at 9 AM PT until December 14 at 9 AM PT.
For the French viewers, tune in to Merj1 and Tama_Usagi’s channels to catch the action of the World First Dungeon Race in French! They will be live from 9 AM PT (6 PM CEST) until the race wraps up, and Twitch Drops are enabled on their channels as well.
Entry Requirements
- Must own the Renegades expansion.
- Fireteam leader needs to have progressed their dungeon introductory pursuit (titled The Way Between) to at least step 2.
- The Equilibrium introductory Pursuit is acquired from Aunor in the Cantina of Tharsis Outpost after completing Step 5 of the Renegades pursuit.
- A fireteam of three players is needed to launch the activity.
- Fireteam Power will be disabled during Contest and players are recommended to have a minimum of 370 Power level. Players below that will see their damage output reduced against the combatants and will receive increased damage from them
Not Swap Enabled for Contest Mode
For the Equilibrium Dungeon Race, we will once again be enabling the Not Swap modifier. This modifier will now reset your Super and ability energy, Special ammo, and Heavy ammo when you change Exotic or Legendary armor or weapon ammo types. Note: Orbs and ammo bricks are no longer affected by Not Swap.
Cosplay Cosmodrome has Landed
Our amazing cosplayers from around the globe have once again stunned us with their takes on Destiny 2 characters, old and new. This week, we unveiled our first four cosplays – Drifter (by Little Blonde Goth), Eris Morn (by Where Is Danielle), Aunor Mahal (by Anhyra), and Premier Lume (by Solomon Taisa). Next week, we’ll show off even more!
For more information and pictures of the above cosplays, check out this blog post here.

Player Support Report

Known Issues List
ERROR CODES
- Players who preview have Loadouts with Wormgod Caress or Loadouts with Exotic armor ornaments equipped will encounter a WEASEL error.
- This can be mitigated by overriding or updating the Loadouts to remove these items temporarily using the Destiny Companion or a third-party app, as new/refreshed Loadouts that include these Exotics will not cause this error.
RENEGADES CAMPAIGN
- Players may encounter activity soft locks in the first Renegades mission's trash compactor section when destroying jammers too quickly.
- Players can circumvent this issue by restarting the encounter, waiting for the game to point to the jammer to shoot, and then shooting the jammer with a non-explosive weapon that has no lingering effects.
- We're aware of an issue where players can soft lock while opening the game interface while Drifter's cutscene plays in Tharsis Cantina.
- While a fix is being investigated, it's recommended to not open your inventory, quest log, or menus until the quest progresses to prevent this issue. Alternatively, pressing ESC on PC or the Back/Cancel button on controller to skip the cutscene also avoids this issue. If you are in this stuck state, you can change characters to get out of it.
- We've identified an issue in the Welcome to the Frontier mission where the Piker Gang may not spawn properly.
- While we work on a fix, we recommend letting the objective update to "Defeat Piker Crew" before killing any of the Dregs or crouching through the tunnel, as this should allow you to progress normally.
- We are investigating an issue where players are unable to enter the Hawk at the start of the Welcome to the Frontier mission.
- Players can work around this by unselecting the Renegade abilities, relaunching the mission, and then reselecting the Renegade abilities, as this should resolve the issue and allow you to progress.
- The final mission of the Renegades campaign will not auto-launch into the Legendary difficulty if launched from the activity flag. The correct mission difficulty can be selected manually.
LAWLESS FRONTIER
- Invaders will not be sent back to their ready room if they are traveling quickly, or completely stop moving, on a vehicle as the final time-out occurs. This can prevent them from receiving rewards.
- Invaders who die as they are getting teleported back may experience rapid teleport VFX.
- In rare cases, Invaders who die while they are getting teleported away are not brought to the ready room after they respawn, blocking their ability to claim their rewards.
- Jammer panels cannot be damaged while players are radiant.
- Players are occasionally encountering an activity blocker in Sabotage where the objective does not progress after destroying all the objective items.
- Titans who enter Brig vehicles with the Thruster class ability and a sword equipped are unable to exit the vehicle.
ACTIVITIES
- Exotic missions in Pinnacle Ops are not unlocking their associated Exotic weapons, catalysts, and intrinsics for players who have not earned them yet.
- The suppressor buff in Astral Alignment is not suppressing Abominations.
- Players are experiencing game crashes during the Witness encounter of the Iconoclast mission from The Final Shape.
- If anyone finds a workaround, please let us know while we investigate a fix.
WEAPONS AND ABILITIES
- When some Exotic armors are equipped, the New Gear bonus stat for damage resistance is not increasing when hovering over the Artifact. This is a display-only issue, the Exotics are applying their resistance but are not increasing on the display.
- Players experiencing issues meditating at Ikora to unlock additional subclass options should check if they have acquired the "Exotic Subclass" quests and try abandoning those.
- Using Shatterdive and shattering Stasis crystals does not activate Frost Armor as intended.
- Heavy ammo grenade launchers cannot pick up enhanced ammo bricks.
- The New Malpais and Wolfsbane Exotic Catalysts are not progressing from kills.
OTHER
- French and Spanish dialogue audio from Edge of Fate is missing.
- The Worm Brulee emote is not playing the correct animation.
- The Without Ceremony Exotic ornament for Ice Breaker does not display the correct visuals.
A NEW ANTAGONIST ARRIVES...
Dredgen Bael’s here to even the odds.
