The winter event “The Dawning” introduces Strike Scoring in Destiny and delivers old Strikes in a revamped form.
On December 13th, “The Dawning” starts, this year’s winter event in Destiny. This brings back not only Sparrow Racing but also fresh content for Guardians who find Sparrow races silly.
Strike Scoring will be enhanced with the Dawning. Strike Scoring is coming. We already know:
- It is important to collect as many points and medals as possible in the Strikes.
- Strike Scoring will be similar to the “Challenge of Elders”: By collecting points, you will earn rewards, climb leaderboards, and gain reputation with a new “Strike Scoring Vanguard faction” led by Zavala.
- Zavala is also the point of contact for the bounties. These are important for the “Year 3” Icebreaker.

- Strike Scoring is available in the Nightfall Strike, in the SIVA Crisis playlist, and in the heroic SIVA Crisis playlist.
- There will be a book of medals for it, as well as a completely new gear set that can only be obtained through “Strike Scoring Challenges”.
- What are points awarded for? The trailer indicates that there are different points for various enemy units, such as here for Dregs or Abominations:
Important note: Strike Scoring is a feature that will remain permanently!
These Strikes will be revamped
To bring more variety to the Strike playlists, three new old Strikes will come to Destiny. These will be SIVA-infested. They are these Strikes:
The Will of Crota (Omnigul):
The Nexus:
The Shadow Thief:
