What is Endgame Content?
- Destiny 2 offers a wide range of PvE endgame content, ranging from higher difficulty Lost Sectors, Conquests, Dungeons and Raids!
- Higher-difficulty content typically requires stronger gear, optimized builds, specific weapon and armour mods, and pre-formed fireteams as most activity content at this level is not matchmaking-enabled.
- This page will go over some of the Destiny 2 endgame content that you may encounter that is currently accessible in the game.

Conquests
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Nightfalls? Are they still relevant?
- Nightfall Strikes are strike variants that can feature a number of modifiers, Champions, and additional rewards depending on the level of difficulty you wish to play.

What happened to Grandmaster Nightfalls?
- As of the Edge of Fate launch (July 15, 2025), GM Nightfalls were fully removed.
- Bungie re-shuffled their high-difficulty PvE grind into the new Conquest activities in the Portal → Seasonal Hub. You’ll still experience GM-level difficulty…just via Conquests now.
- As of Destiny 2: Renegades, a new Grandmaster Vanguard Alert will be available, providing even more of a Grandmaster of old experience!
- This can be accessed by visiting the Portal > Seasonal Hub > Vanguard Alerts tab!
Can you still play Grandmaster-level activities?
- Yes! Every season the Seasonal Hub includes various Conquests difficulties, including Grandmaster.
- You can only complete each one once per season, but they’re selectable from mid-season onward.
- Once you reach ~400 Power Level, Grandmaster will be the main difficulty across the Portal, and then Ultimate once you reach close to ~500 Power Level.
- As of Destiny 2: Renegades, a new Grandmaster Vanguard Alert will be available, providing even more of a Grandmaster of old experience!

What are the Conquest rewards like?
- Each Conquest offers a one-time Tier‑based Prime-level reward (Tier 3 for Expert, Tier 4 for Master, Tier 5 for Grandmaster).
- Higher difficulty = more powerful tiered loot.
How has the Conqueror Seal changed?
- The Seal was stripped of all Nightfall-related Triumphs. It now tracks Conquest completions.
- See our Conqueror Seal subsection below for more details.
What happened to Nightfall Adept Ciphers? Should I delete them?
- From Season 20 to Season 26, when completing Grandmaster Nightfalls, in addition to previously existing rewards, players would acquire Adept Nightfall Ciphers.
- As of Edge of Fate (Season 27), Adept Nightfall Ciphers are no longer being used.
- However, Bungie has said they do have plans to re-release them in a new way in a future expansion, so hold off from deleting them!

Overview
- Conquests are score‑based PvE challenges accessed via the Seasonal Hub in the Portal for each season.
- They have replaced the legacy Grandmaster Nightfalls.
- GM-level difficulty persists, but it is now exclusively encountered via GM Conquests, not Nightfalls.
- A minimum of Six seasonal Conquests are available: 2×Expert, 2×Master, and 2×Grandmaster difficulties, and later 2xUltimate difficulties..
- Each conquest can be played once.
- Conquests blend activities like Nightfall Strikes, Seasonal Empire Hunts, Exotic Missions, Delve Nightfalls, and others. The mix changes each season.
- Completing them awards valuable high-level gear, power-level loot drops, and progress towards seasonal objectives.
- To access Conquests, visit the Portal > Seasonal Hub > Conquests Tab.
REWARDS:
Loot & Rewards
- Each Conquest offers one guaranteed Prime-level reward engram, ranked to difficulty tier, Tier 5 for GM.
- Additional Conquest rewards feed into Seasonal Bonus Power, which phases out at season end.
- There are a minimum of 6 Conquests available per expansion with each activity ranging from Advanced to Ultimate.
- The primary distinguishing feature of Conquests is that they offer significant, high-tier loot as a one-time reward per character per season.
- You can replay them, but the loot will be standard per future completions.
Requirements
- There are specific requirements in order to play these activities:
- There is a power level requirement per activity, which increases per activity.
- Fireteam Power is disabled for Conquests. All fireteam members MUST be at or above the required power level.
- You must equip new gear (armour and weapons) in order to play Conquests. As of Renegades, all Exotic weapons and armour count as New Gear.
- There is a power level requirement per activity, which increases per activity.
Conqueror Seal
- Guardians are able to unlock Seals by completing specific triumphs outlined within the Seal.
- When a Seal has been claimed and applied, a purple title will be displayed under your name and will be visible in your character menu. Bragging rights for completing that objective, one could say!
- The Conqueror Seal, once dedicated toward Grandmaster Nightfall completions, has been redesigned to reward Conquest completions.
- Tracking now includes Expert‑, Master‑, and GM-level Conquest Triumphs for title progression.
- Gilding remains tied to four GM-level completions, but can now be earned across seasons rather than tied to specific strikes.
- Seal progress resets every season. Once the current season’s Conquests change, you’ll need to complete the new ones in future seasons to continue progressing/gilding.
