Destiny 2: The Raids track has a start date, is worth racing for

In Destiny 2, the first raid sector will soon be launched. Bungie has now announced the release date – and will host another race.

The “Curse of Osiris” expansion has been live for almost two days now. Many Guardians have already completed the story, traversed the Infinite Forest, and brought their power level close to the new maximum.

However, there is an interesting activity that “Curse of Osiris” still has in store: The raid content.

This is about a “raid sector.” It is an extension of the existing Leviathan raid.

• And Bungie has now announced when you will be able to explore the sector: It starts on Friday, December 8, at 7 PM.

  

Info on the first raid sector “World Eater”

The first raid sector is called “World Eater.” With the second expansion, there will be a second raid sector, but nothing is known about it yet.

In the World Eater sector, you will go into the belly of the Leviathan, meaning you will fight below the previous raid encounters. While it offers new activities and new locations with unique encounters, puzzles, and a new final boss, the new content will not be as extensive as the existing Leviathan raid. “World Eater” is supposed to be harder.

As a reward, there will be new loot in the form of weapons, armor pieces, and cosmetic items.

The recommended power level should be 300. The raid sector will be played in a fireteam of up to 6 players.

First footage of the World Eater sector has already surfaced. You can view it here.

Bungie is hosting another race

As soon as the raid sector starts, the countdown for a race will begin. Bungie wants to crown the “World First Run” again. In other words, the fireteam that can complete the raid sector first will be officially announced and showered with glory and honor. Bungie will be closely watching the Guardians.

These “World First” races have already become a tradition. In recent years, a race has been held with every raid release. However, in recent days and weeks, there have been discussions about whether a “raid sector” is really worth a race, especially since Destiny 2 currently has much bigger problems than finding the fastest raid team.

Community manager DeeJ has now commented on this: He spoke with the raid design team and the developers are proud of the work they put into the new raid experience. In their opinion, the new challenge is worth a race.

Will you be there right at the start?

Maybe you will take part in the raid sector with a new exotic weapon. You can find all the new exotics from Curse of Osiris here.
