Destiny 2 prepares its first raid, vows to remove potentially offensive gear

Hello there, new players of Destiny 2. Did you know that Tuesday is reset day? You probably do, because we’ve decided to have every game reset things on the same day every week just so we have an easier time keeping track, so that’s good. Still, the game is holding its first-ever maintenance today (for about four hours in the morning, it should be done by now), and it’s also hitting its first-ever weekly reset for flashpoints, strike challenges, and so forth. Everything is refreshed for a new week now.

The game’s first raid is also coming out… tomorrow, not today. Game director Luke Smith helpfully announced on Twitter that the raid has a Power range of 260-280, which is notable not so much for numbers as for the fact that players know what’s expected to be able to finish the raid rather than just starting the raid. You won’t be able to get in there until September 13th regardless, but at least now you know whether you can go the distance or just get through the front door.

Meanwhile, if you were put out by the in-game gauntlet that inadvertently imitates the icon of a hate group, fret not, as the studio is fixing it.

2/2 Our deepest apologies. This does NOT represent our values, and we are working quickly to correct this. We renounce hate in all forms.

(We’re sure the studio means denounce, not renounce.)
