Last month, Bungie teased that there will be a Community Challenge coming up sometime later this year before Shadowkeep. This is probably due to the delayed release of Shadowkeep from Sep. 17, 2019, to October 1, 2019. In This Week At Bungie blog-post, they’ve finally revealed more details about this Community Challenge in Destiny 2.
Destiny 2 Community Challenge Incoming
This is the first time Destiny 2 players have gotten a Community Challenge in-game. If you don’t know what a Community Challenge is, it’s a set of challenges to complete in a given period by the whole Community. Destiny 2 Community Challenge will be live for a whole week on Mars starting September 3, 2019, to September 10, 2019.
Start: September 3, 10 AM PDT
End: September 10, 10 AM PDT
Community Objectives:
- Defeat 175 thousand Wave 7 Escalation Protocol bosses
- Defeat 300 million Hive on Mars
- Mars Nightfalls
- Defeat Nokris 150 thousand times
- Defeat Xol 100 thousand times
- Use 300 thousand Override Frequencies
Rewards:
Now, this wouldn’t be interesting without rewards. If all objectives are completed during the event, any player to complete at least one Nightfall will be granted a unique emblem, granted to only those who rose to the Mars challenge.
So, the minimum requirement for you to earn that sick emblem is to complete one Nightfall when the Community Challenge is live. There is no way of tracking this challenge in-game. But, Bungie has said, they will be updating us with the progress daily via Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, etc). Dmg04 also said:
“This also serves as an opportunity for you to further impress Emperor Calus. If the community reaches all the above goals, Calus will unlock additional rewards for successful Menagerie completions. Starting when goals are met, players will be guaranteed two rewards when slotting their runes and opening the chest, and an additional reward will be added each Friday for the remainder of the Season.“
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep will be hitting PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, on October 1, 2019, and later in November on Google Stadia.
