Strange signals are appearing across select destinations. Watch for the red glow, check the hourly timer, and prepare for tougher enemies, upgraded public event rewards, and hidden discoveries.

Update 9.7.0 launches June 9, 2026. Destiny 2 will remain playable, but planned live-service content updates end after Monument of Triumph. Hotfixes may still happen for health and stability.
Monument of Triumph is available to all players and remains in the game indefinitely. Legendary Marks are earned from game-wide Triumphs and can be exchanged for armor ornaments, accessories, weapon engrams, and more.
The refreshed Director returns as the central activity map. Portal-style activities remain available through the activity nodes at the bottom of the Director.
Vanguard Ops now contains Fireteam Ops, Arena Ops, Pinnacle Ops, and Solo Ops. Legacy Vanguard Ops and Nightfall nodes are deprecated and folded into the new structure.
Fireteam Ops adds Heist Battlegrounds: Mars, The Disgraced, The Lightblade, The Scarlet Keep, The Corrupted, and Lake of Shadows. Pinnacle Ops adds Operation: Seraph's Shield and Zero Hour. Arena Ops adds Override on a four-week map rotation.
Ops difficulty now starts from clear reward ranks and tiers: Normal C/Tier 1, Advanced B/Tier 2, Expert A/Tier 3, Master A+/Tier 4, Grandmaster S/Tier 5, and Ultimate S+/Tier 5.
Modifiers can help push a difficulty up by one reward rank and tier, but the system is designed to reduce setup friction. Tier 5 rewards cap at Grandmaster; Ultimate remains as the highest challenge with S+ prestige.
Pantheon returns as a permanent activity with new boss slates, a gauntlet format, and featured single-boss encounter rotations for rewards.
Raid and dungeon gear has been revisited for modern tiers, set bonuses, new perks, and updated reward support. Weekly Featured Raids and Dungeons return.
Destination weapons and armor are refreshed for tier parity, set bonuses, and updated rewards. Distortions add more challenge and unique rewards on select destinations.
New Aspects, grenades, a new Void Hunter melee, Exotic armor upgrades, Exotic weapon tuning, and new catalysts are included across the Monument of Triumph sandbox update.
Zavala's Vanguard Focusing now covers tiered Solo Ops, Fireteam Ops, Arena Ops, and Pinnacle Ops gear. Tiered focusing uses Vanguard Engrams, with Vanguard Ciphers used for some Pinnacle and Arena gear. Attunement is now available from inventory.
Gambit becomes its own Ops category with refreshed rewards, tiered gear, a new armor set bonus, reprised weapons, and a reworked Gun and Run Origin Trait.
Sparrow Racing League returns as a permanent addition with returning Destiny tracks, a new racing space, and a unique weapon set to earn.
Guardian Games, Solstice, Festival of the Lost, and The Dawning are retired. Some event rewards move to Monument of Guardian Tenets, and some armor sets become available through Eververse for Bright Dust.
Eververse shifts toward an evergreen state with Daily Offers, expanded Bright Dust cosmetic access, and Bright Engram Focusing for non-duplicate category-focused rewards.
Bright Dust and Chronologs are now predominantly earned through the Seasonal Hub, with weekly earnable amounts increased as the Hub absorbs other sources.
The final Triumphant Rewards Pass has no end date and remains available with free and premium rewards. Bright Dust appears on the Free Track, and the pass includes extra cosmetics and XP boosts.
The community has uncovered Oblation: Bloodline, a Moon-based Exotic mission chain for Cull's Shadow. Several steps use Hive symbol puzzles: equip or draw a Weapon of Sorrow, reveal green runes, then shoot the runes in the order shown by the beige symbols.
View GuideFor the hidden net challenge, head to the Tower Hangar, find the soccer ball near Saint-14, and guide it into the old Future War Cult room instead of the obvious hangar goals.
View Hidden Net GuideWork on Triumphs that double-dip: Distortions, destination collectibles, activity completions, and reward currency all naturally overlap with Legendary Mark earning.
Start at the Monument in the Tower courtyard, then check the four Guardian Tenet vendors before spending. Some rewards require specific Triumph completions before purchase.
When chasing Distortion Triumphs, follow the hourly cycle: Cosmodrome, EDZ, Dreaming City, Savathûn's Throne World, Moon, Europa, Nessus, then repeat.
Strange Signals are tied to the distorted destination. Open the Director, find the red-glowing planet, and clear signal objectives before the hour rolls over.
Community routing indicates Case Files are best hunted during an active Distortion on that destination. EDZ has the heaviest routing burden, so split it if needed.
Scenic Spot Triumphs are easy to miss because they reward exploration, not combat. Track each destination pass and mark locations off as you go.
Thorn, Osteo Striga, Touch of Malice, or Necrochasm can reveal the hidden Hive runes used in the Oblation unlock chain. Thorn is usually the easiest universal recommendation.
For secret mission chains, avoid instantly orbiting after a boss dies. Community discoveries often involve returning to earlier rooms, finding books, runes, or interactables, then unlocking follow-up missions.
For Triumphs that require unusual objectives, use Fireteam Finder or clan groups and trade objectives so everyone progresses in the same run.
A farewell message has been recovered from the Shattered Vault archives.
