Destiny 2 The Dawning 2017

The first true seasonal event for Bungie’s Destiny 2, The Dawning, is finally live on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. The Christmas-themed event sees the Tower adorned in decorations and new loot added to the Eververse store. You know, because that’s where everyone wants to get their loot in a loot-based shooter.

New items include exclusive Dawning armour for each class, emotes, ships, sparrows and transmat effects. You can also acquire shaders and since they’re time-limited, you’ll consume them and then never be able to earn them again. Consumable shaders that you don’t get to keep? Surely that will have players throwing money at the screen.

The Dawning does bring some new activities to Destiny 2 though like snowball fights (including the ability to pelt enemies with snowballs), Mayhem Crucible which adds reduced ability and Super cooldowns to PvP, and the ability to craft gifts for various NPCs. These will net you items in return. What are your thoughts on The Dawning? Let us know below.
