The latest This Week in Destiny (TWID) update from Bungie has landed like a surprise Vex invasion, packed with exciting news for Destiny 2 players. From the upcoming Ash & Iron major update to voice actor comebacks and charity emblems, there's plenty to get hyped about. As a key weekly pulse on the game's heartbeat, this TWID keeps Guardians in the loop on what's next.
Ash & Iron Update: New Gear and Gameplay Tweaks Incoming
Get ready, Guardians—the Ash & Iron major update is set to launch next week, bringing a wave of fresh content that could shake up your loadouts. Expect new weapons and armor sets with intriguing bonuses, perfect for those who've been grinding for that edge in raids or PvP. Players might find these additions sparking new meta strategies, especially with the activity rebalancing on the horizon.
What's New in the Portal?
The Portal is getting some love with reward buffs and tweaks to keep things fair and fun. If you've been frustrated by mismatched difficulties, these changes could make your runs smoother and more rewarding—think better loot drops that actually feel worth the effort.
Trials of Osiris and Dungeon Updates
Trials enthusiasts, rejoice: a weekly featured weapon is coming soon, adding that extra incentive to dive into the sweatfest. Meanwhile, Dungeon Lairs from classics like Pit of Heresy, Duality, and Warlord’s Ruin are joining Pinnacle Ops, giving veterans and newbies alike more ways to chase high-power gear. Who knows, this might be the push needed to finally conquer that elusive triumph.
Epic Raid Delay and World First Race
In a plot twist, the Epic Raid has been pushed back to later this month, now landing on September 27th. The World First race comes with new streaming rules, which could make spectating even more thrilling. Speculation is rife—will this delay give teams the polish they need for legendary clears?
Developer Livestream and Twitch Drops
Tune in next week for a dev livestream previewing Ash & Iron, Portal additions, and raid details. Viewers can snag the Knights of Old emblem via Twitch Drops—because who doesn't love free swag for just watching?
Voice Actors Return and More Fixes
Story fans will cheer as original English voice talents reprise roles for Ikora, Orin, and Chioma in The Edge of Fate. Plus, Update 9.1.0 brings fixes like mod adjustments and shooting range improvements—finally, no more wonky target practice sessions.

For Hispanic Heritage Month, donate to El Centro de la Raza by month's end to earn the ¡Revivir! emblem— a small way to support a great cause while blinging out your Guardian. The Heavy Metal Title Pin is up for grabs through Bungie Rewards until year's end.
