Today, Act 2 of Destiny 2: Echoes launches with new content including new Battlegrounds activities, two new weapons, one reprised weapon, five additional Artifact perks, and more story developments for the first Episode in the year of The Final Shape. In Act 2, players will fight to uncover more information about the Conductor, a mysterious new enemy shaking up the Vex. Guardians will continue to journey through Nessus with two out of three new Battlegrounds available today, while the third Battleground will be introduced next week with the story progression.

Also returning to Destiny 2 later during Act 2 is the annual Solstice event, and this year Guardians have never had a better time to celebrate with the defeat of the Witness. Solstice brings players a new set of explorer-themed armor and an invitation to join the annual Bonfire Bash for more rewards. More information on Solstice to come at a later date.

Bungie is collaborating with Rec Room to bring the recreated version of the Destiny 2 Tower to a new generation of Guardians, where they can join in to experience the Destiny 2: Guardian Gauntlet in Rec Room. Rec Room players will have a collection of cosmetics to choose from, based on the three Destiny classes. Hunter cosmetics are available now, and Titan and Warlock cosmetics will soon follow.
