This Week At Bungie – 3/7/2019

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/this-week-at-bungie-3-7-2019.jpg" width="1920" height="1080" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>This week at Bungie, we launched Season of the Drifter.</p>
<p>The Drifter has moved down to the annex. His new operation is online and ready for players. Gambit was just the beginning. Gambit Prime is the new hotness.</p>
<iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='1136' height='641' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/QeM60lG5NGM?version=3&rel=0&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe>
<p>Winning a match of Gambit Prime is just the start of your new journey to max Power. For Annual Pass owners, the Reckoning is the featured PvE activity for this season. To reach your full potential as a Gambit Prime teammate, follow the loop between the two challenges. Take your Gambit Prime rewards and four-person fireteam into the Reckoning to earn new armor that will unlock powerful new perks, making you even more deadly when you return to Gambit Prime. Here is a taste of what the Reckoning has to offer.</p>

<h2>Top Tier</h2>
<p>Tier 1 of the Reckoning was your first step. From here, the challenges and the rewards escalate! Tier 2 goes live tomorrow and ups the difficulty, adding additional objectives, areas, and a new boss to the battle. Next Friday, we’ll up the ante one more time.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tier 3 is considered endgame content, requiring Power level 680 to enter and meant to offer a worthy challenge to all you powerful Guardians as you gear up to max Power this season. The activity is set to 690 so bring your best gear. We recommend forming up a fireteam for coordination, but matchmaking is still available to you.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Next week, we also have the Thorn quest kicking off on March 12. A mysterious spot in the EDZ holds a clue. Seek it out to start your journey in search of the Hand Cannon shrouded in darkness. At the same time you set off in search of Thorn, the Allegiance quest will become available. This offers you a choice: Stand with the Vanguard or cast your lot with the Drifter. The choice is made per character, so if you have multiple characters, they can each choose their own path.&nbsp;</p>

<div>On March 12, Gambit Prime will also be featuring a new map, <a href="https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/1103737296111587328" title target>Deep Six</a>. Invitations of the Nine and Reckoning Tier 3 will be available on March 15. Keep your eyes on these dates. The Drifter has new tricks up his sleeve.&nbsp;</div>

<p>The Player Support team is always working diligently behind the scenes. They are making sure you have the info you need to have the best Destiny 2 experience.</p>
<p>This is their report.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>Season of the Drifter Support</h3>
<p>This week, Season of the Drifter kicked off in Destiny 2. For those who want to be in the know, listed below are support resources that players can use to discover vital information about this new season.</p>
<div>Players looking for info not provided in the links above should search our support archive on <a href="https://www.bungie.net/en/help" title target>help.bungie.net</a>.</div>
<h3>Known Issue Callout: Weekly Bounty Resets</h3>
<p>In Update 2.2.0, a change was erroneously made which impacted the availability of several sources for powerful rewards in <i>Destiny 2</i>. Specifically, weekly bounties from vendors have not yet reset for some players who completed them last week.</p>
<div>Among these sources, the vendors most notably impacted are Ada-1 and Petra Venj, who each offer routine powerful rewards through their weekly bounties. It’s also worth noting that players who are unable to complete these bounties for Ada-1 cannot receive <a href="https://www.bungie.net/en/Search?query=Ballistics%20Log&amp;type=1" title target>Ballistics Logs</a> to forge her weapon frames.</div>
<div>Currently, we are working to resolve this issue in an upcoming hotfix. <i><b>In the meantime, players should expect these sources to reset every Sunday</b></i>, starting at the <a href="https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/46165" title target>daily reset</a> on March 10. As always, we’ll be sure to sound off with more information when it is available.</div>
