As Bungie is receiving generous donations during a charity event, the studio is showcasing the associated armor ornaments even before the official unveiling of the Winter Event “The Dawning 2020”.
What is The Dawning? The Dawning is the annual Christmas or Winter event in Destiny 2. The Tower of the Last City is decked out in festive holiday décor, allowing players to bake various recipes and secure festive loot. The Eververse also receives various themed items, including new festive armor ornaments.
These are the new armor ornaments from the Dawning Event
The Dawning is set to begin on December 15 and will run until January 5, 2021. Details for this year’s event have yet to be announced. However, a sneak peek of the armor ornaments is already available.
That’s why the ornaments are being shown now: Currently, the 2nd annual Game2Give charity event is taking place to support the Bungie Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, which help sick children. This event consists of a 24-hour streaming marathon, followed by two weeks filled with streams from various content creators from the Destiny community.
Donations are being collected. As certain donation goals are reached, the ornaments will also be revealed:
- $250,000 – Universal Dawning 2020 Ornament for Titans
- $500,000 – Universal Dawning 2020 Ornament for Warlocks
- $750,000 – Universal Dawning 2020 Ornament for Hunters
- $1,000,000 – Preview of the Legendary Dawning 2020 Reward
- For every additional $100,000 after reaching $1 million – Lore Guest Reading
According to the description, the ornaments are concept art, but it is expected that they will appear in the game as shown. It wouldn’t make much sense to unveil something and then bring something completely different to the game a few days later.
Titan: The Titan ornament has been achieved as the first milestone.
Warlock: Next came the universal armor ornament for the Warlock.
Hunter: And the milestone for the Hunter has also been achieved.
The good news: It appears that the new ornaments are genuinely something fresh and not just complete reskins with new colors. As a result, these ornaments have also been well-received by some Guardians.
There is also an event weapon
So far, only the milestones for the armor ornaments have been achieved; the legendary reward has not yet been officially unveiled. However, in previous years, a new event weapon has always been introduced. It is expected that this will be the case again this year.
This is what we know so far about the weapon: Leaks already suggest a Fusion Rifle.
The well-known Destiny data miner Ginsor has tweeted initial images and data about it, suggesting that the weapon is a variation of the infamous Erentil. However, the 3D model may also be a placeholder.
However, we should receive official clarity on this in the near future. By the way, the Winter event of The Dawning is not the only thing you can expect from Bungie’s action MMO this year. If you want to learn more about it, take a look at the following article:
