Destiny 2: Call to Arms – Shattered Vault

Limited Time Event: Call to Arms

Call to Arms Updates

Updates from Bungie as of November 18, 2025:

Score thresholds for all activities have been adjusted.
Score thresholds below Top 10% have also been adjusted to further open up eligibility for the shader and transmat rewards.
The PvE changes are designed to protect the challenge of claiming the event's top emblem reward but we also feel it's necessary to address the 550 Power players that have been adversely affected by lower score bugs introduced alongside our Power equalization changes.
The PvP change is designed to address the several reports we're seeing of players coming in just a few points short after completing very high scoring games.
To prevent further impact of the Power changes, the Call to Arms score thresholds have now been locked.
Decreased the cost of Tier 1 revive tokens and upgrades from Riven at the start of The Coil activity.
Expanded the interact radius of the Daily Shipment chest to address reports that its interface isn't showing.

Updates from Bungie as of November 15, 2025:

Bungie has deployed the following changes and fixes as a live update:

Set the Salt Mines activity to only have Taken combatants (not rotate between Dread and Taken) during the Call to Arms event to maintain a consistent experience when earning points in Solo Ops runs.
Removed Cutting Edge as a requirement in all Crucible modes.
Fixed Zone Control mode not recording a player's higher scores after their first registered score.
Tuned scoring so that the lower Power you are, the more of a boost you will get to your Call to Arms score to offset the score impact of Power.
- For example, with the right activity modifiers, a 300 Power player playing on Master difficulty could earn what is comparable to a Top 30% score today and a 400 Power player playing on Grandmaster difficulty could earn what is comparable to a Top 10% score today.
Changed Boons to add 0 red triangles. Players will be able to choose any Boon without impacting their overall score.
Changed all gear player stakes to add 5 green triangles in Call to Arms activities, matching "All Bows".
Removed the Protected modifier (those pesky drones) from all Call to Arms activities.
- The score from that modifier has been added to the Close Danger Trade-off modifier.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I participate in the event?

Speak with Devrim Kay in the Tower to start the event quest line and access the specific “Portal” activities tied to the Call to Arms Event.
You can access all relevant Call to Arms details through the Portal.

What are the main rewards?

Rewards include powerful daily gear shipments from a chest near Devrim, the event reward track (up to Rank 40) for weapons and cosmetics, and exclusive competitive cosmetics (helmet ornament, emblem) based on your percentile rank (e.g., Top 10%, Top 1%) when the event ends.

Should I care about my Power level for scoring?

Bungie has tuned the scoring so that lower-Power players get a boost to offset the original impact of Power level.
While a higher Power level still provides a slight edge, skilled execution with high challenge modifiers is the most important factor for a top score, making broad competition possible.

How does scoring work in PvE activities?

Scoring in PvE activities is primarily driven by efficiently killing enemies, with higher points awarded for Majors (orange/yellow bars) and Ultras (bosses).
You gain bonus points from specific actions like precision kills, finishers on high-value targets, and generating Orbs of Power.
Speed is also a factor, as score gain can be reduced after a certain time threshold (e.g., around 18 minutes for some activities).

Which activities are best for top scores?

Specific to the Season of Reclamation 2025 Call to Arms Event:

Many top players use The Salt Mines (Solo Ops) or Proving Grounds due to their enemy density and potential for high score runs.
The key is finding the activity where you can consistently achieve the fastest, most efficient clears with the highest modifiers.

Which modifiers should I use for a top score run?

To maximize your score multiplier, you need to enable all possible negative modifiers (those with red triangles) that you and your team can handle.
Modifiers like “All Bows” or “Precision Weapons Only” (Player Stakes) and “Grounded” or “All Ammo Famine” (Challenge modifiers) significantly increase your potential score.
Experiment to find a combination that maximizes your multiplier without making the run impossible or too slow.

Bungie has made the following changes for Call to Arms activities:

Changed Boons to add 0 red triangles. Players will be able to choose any Boon without impacting their overall score.
Changed all gear player stakes to add 5 green triangles in Call to Arms activities, matching “All Bows”.

Is it easier to get a top score with a team or solo?

High scores are possible both solo (especially in Solo Ops like the Salt Mines) and with a coordinated fireteam.
A team can provide better elemental coverage, quicker clears, and easier management of tough modifiers.
Solo runs, or matchmade activities offer consistency but require high personal skill and a bit of luck in coordination.
- Coordination and understanding what to do in an activity (especially if it’s a Pinnacle Ops) is key!

My score keeps dropping in the rankings. Why?

The leaderboards are competitive and dynamic.
As more players complete activities throughout the event’s duration, the score thresholds for each percentile (Top 30%, Top 10%, Top 1%) constantly increase.
You may need to rerun activities to post higher scores to maintain your rank.
Check the leaderboards daily!

Call to Arms is a limited time event that tasks Guardians to earn top scores in certain activities to earn unique rewards.
Devrim will be your point of contact in the Tower for this event.

How does this event work?

Play Call to Arms activities from the Event Home to receive Competitor Points.
Visit the Tower each day to open a Daily Shipment of gear. Except for the first time opening a Daily Shipment, the size of the shipment is based on your Competitor Points.
Attune to weapons with Devrim to increase the chance of an additional drop of that weapon from Portal and Call to Arms activities.
All players can earn exclusive cosmetics such as a new Exotic weapon ornament for New Malpais by completing Event Ranks which also unlock rewards including a Sparrow, Ship, Ghost Shell, Shader, Finisher, and Holofoil weapons.
- Complete activities, daily objectives and weekly objectives to unlock items from the Reward Track, which has 40 levels!
- Tip for Daily Objectives that require weapon kills: Go to the Altars of Sorrow on the Moon! Saves you a lot of time so you can get back to the competition!

Competitive Format, Reward Eligibility

Call to Arms’ competition asks Guardians to compete against each other for high scores in any, or all, of five different Portal activities.
At the end of the event, Guardians will receive prestigious prizes based on their final competitive standing in each of the activities.
Launching Call to Arms activities from the Event Home will make you and your fireteam eligible for competitive high scores.
The activities during the Season of Reclamation Call to Arms event are as follows:
- Heliostat
- The Coil
- Salt Mines
- Proving Grounds
- Zone Control
Your high scores are awarded competitor points based on how that score compares to the scores, as a percentile, of all other Guardians.
The total number of competitor points determines the rewards received at the end of the event.

How Competitor Points Work & Potential Prizes

To give perspective, Guardians who can earn a top 10% score for two of the five Call to Arms activities will earn enough competitor points to be eligible for the new universal helmet ornament.
- The best of the best Guardians scoring in the top 1% in just one activity will also have enough competitor points to be eligible for that same reward.
Here is a breakdown of all the prestigious competitive prizes that can be earned in the Season of Reclamation Call to Arms event:
- Two new emblems – one granted to all players who post a high score, and one for top-scoring Guardians.
- New transmat
- New shader
- Legendary universal helmet ornament
- New Exotic Weapon Ornament
