Bungie has formally announced a new spring season-themed event for Destiny 2 called The Revelry. From April 16 to May 7 all Destiny 2 players can participate in the event and earn event-exclusive rewards. The most coveted of those rewards will be a brand new Exotic weapon called The Arbalest.
Destiny 2 The Revelry
For The Revelry, seasonal vendor Eva Levante will once again show up to give the Tower a springtime makeover. The main draw of the event will be the Verdant Forest activity which functions similarly to last Halloween’s Haunted Forest. Players will once again see how many levels they can clear either alone or in a team of three. At the end, one of five distinct bosses must be defeated to claim the activity’s rewards. Bungie also promises the Verdant Forest will have a few unique twists that weren’t seen in the Haunted Forest.
Eva Levante will also give all participating players a Reveler’s Tonic. The Reveler’s Tonic can be filled using Reveler’s Essence gathered from Verdant Forest bosses and other activities. With a filled tonic, players can choose one of three buffs which decrease their melee, grenade, or class ability cooldowns. The buff is then active in all activities, even the Crucible.
By defeating Verdant Forest bosses and completing Eva Levante’s new bounties, players can also earn a brand new armor set. The Inaugural Revelry armor set further enhances Reveler’s Tonic buffs for each piece worn. A new series of Revelry-specific Triumphs will also unlock The Arbalest when completed. The Arbalest is Destiny 2’s very first Kinetic class linear fusion rifle.
Lastly, new Revelry Engrams can be earned during the event’s duration. These engrams will drop new cosmetic items such as emotes, Ghost shells, Verdant Growth armor, and more. A full breakdown of The Revelry event can be found via this Bungie post.
Bungie also recently deployed Destiny 2’s 2.2.1 update which, among other things, boosts the game’s Arc subclasses.
