Destiny 2 will soon bring back a raid in which you have already died countless times

Destiny 2 will bring more free endgame content in the form of a legacy raid in the upcoming Season 22. Five old raids are currently not in the game, and the Guardians have already made their clear favorites. However, a leak further narrows down the candidates.

Which legacy raid will it be? Destiny 2 is supplied with endgame content by Bungie every three months. However, this does not always mean new content.

For each DLC year, a new raid and two new paid dungeons enter the game.
But also a legacy raid returns from the content that Bungie has banished from Destiny 2 into the content vault or that even originates from Destiny 1.

The old content was no longer playable for a long time, and a legendary raid, in which we died countless times, is now just around the corner for its return in August 2023.

Excitement among the Guardians is therefore palpable. Moreover, it awakens in them memories of past epic battles and long gaming nights.

However, a leaker has now dampened this excitement by excluding two of the five raids. We will tell you which ones they are.

5 Candidates and 2 Big Hopes

Which raids are in the running? As Bungie retrieves more content from the vault, the number of raids that are still in contention decreases. Currently, there are only five candidates that are possible for a return.

We will tell you which ones they are.

Wrath of the Machine

Destiny – Raid “Wrath of the Machine” – Trailer

Wrath of the Machine (engl. Wrath of the Machine) is an old raid from Destiny that made its debut with the expansion “The Rise of Iron” on September 23, 2016. At that time, the Guardians had a meager light level of 370 to enter the raid.

There were SIVA infections, and in the end stood “Aksis”, an Archon Primus as the raid boss. Many Guardians still have good memories of the hard mode and the mechanics of this raid.

Probability of Return: This raid is a top favorite for many players to make a comeback. It would expand the Cosmodrome and is also linked to the splicer technology of Mitrax. Bungie has also announced that they will develop a new exotic weapon for the legacy raids, which is already included in Destiny 2. This could be the pulse rifle “Perfected Outbreak”. Therefore, this raid is considered a favorite for a comeback in 2023.

Crota’s End

Destiny : “Crota’s End” – The raid from the expansion “Darkness Awaits”

Crota’s End (engl. Crota’s End) is a raid from Destiny that was introduced with the expansion “Darkness Rising” on December 9, 2014. As a team, you had to penetrate into the deepest pit of the Hellmouth and infiltrate Crota’s realm. Although he initially seemed invincible, Crota’s own power – the soul-draining strength of the Ascendant Swords – could be used against him in the end.

Some Guardians especially associate the then craftable exo-weapon “Necrochasm” with this raid. It was only obtainable with great effort at that time.

Probability of Return: The raid is quite small. It would have been more suited as a dungeon, but Bungie has already ruled that out. However, the chances are quite good that this raid will make a return. On the other hand, recently an old Hive raid returned to Destiny 2 with “King’s Fall”. However, we don’t see this option as too far off, because after all, Crota is Oryx’s son and thus very close to his aunts Xivu Arath and Savathun. Therefore, a return of this raid would be plausible for Bungie.

Leviathan

The Leviathan raid was available in Destiny 2 and was released on September 13, 2017. The Guardians had to make their way through the then still intact, golden flagship of the banished Emperor Calus and navigate through his not-so-small engine room. Moreover, the mechanics were challenging, as Calus had the Guardians hopping like performers in a circus for his amusement and strolling in his garden with the court dogs.

Through the quest “Destroyer of Worlds”, players could also earn the exo-shotgun “Legend of Acrius”. It was polished up a bit by Bungie in Season 21.

Probability of Return: If this raid were to return, it would be a huge deal. Bungie has also already revised some sections of the Leviathan for the “Season of the Haunted”. The path to bringing back all content might be a bit shorter now. Furthermore, the Leviathan weapons and armor can now only be found among veterans in their collections. Therefore, the chances are quite good that Calus will become a raid legacy and that the Guardians will see the Leviathan again. The raid was also pleasantly long, with a grand setting, and thus not unpopular.

Crown of Sorrow

The second raid on the Leviathan was “Crown of Sorrow”. It was opened on June 4, 2019, and disappeared back into the content vault on November 10, 2020. Calus then called for the Guardians’ help, as his experiments with the crown and a lingering Hive invasion were a threat he could not handle on his own.

Thus, the Guardians discovered “Gahlran”, the bearer of sorrow. He was driven insane by the Crown of Sorrow and thus went out of control. This raid also features the exotic “Tarrabah”, which players can now purchase at the “Memorial of Lost Lights”.

Probability of Return: Quite decent. The content would connect to content familiar to new players and it wouldn’t be the very well-known Leviathan raid. Additionally, this raid was not in the game for long. Almost all of its weapons and armor – except for the exo-weapon – have been almost forgotten. Therefore plausible but not as close as other options.

Scourge of the Past

Anyone who has ever wanted to flee on their Sparrow in front of a burning giant Servitor was right in this raid. “Scourge of the Past” was brought to the game with the “Season of the Forge” on December 7, 2018. In the raid, one discovered the lost vault from the Black Armory and had to face a gigantic fallen robot with matching mechanics at the end.

The exotic from the raid was the “Anarchy”, an exotic grenade launcher whose best days are now behind it.

The raids have already been excluded by a leak

According to a now-known leak, however, two of the five raids have already been excluded from returning. However, we only embed the leak as a spoiler so that you can decide for yourself if you want to know which two raids they are. And take it, as always, with a grain of salt.

According to the reliable Destiny leaker “Liz”, neither the raid “Wrath of the Machine” from the first Destiny era nor the raid “Scourge of the Past” will return in Season 22.

The news hit parts of the community hard and slightly dampened the excitement. However, despite the disappointment, there is still hope for the Guardians. After all, the leak also suggests that it could thus be one of the other raids from the content vault.
