Destiny 2 Events Calendar: PvE, PvP, Lost Sectors, Weekly Loot, Xur (The Final Shape, Episode: Heresy)

What’s Going On Now in Destiny 2? (May 6-13, 2025)

Episode III (Heresy) – Act III

• Episode: Heresy – February 11 – July 15
• Upcoming/Current Dates:
  • Rite of the Nine Event – May 6

With Episode III well under way, there’s a ton to do. Coming in a few weeks, we have the Rite of the Nine event happening at the start of May. This event will be similar to the Pantheon event last year which allowed us to play through several raid encounters in increasing difficulty, but this time it’ll be featuring dungeon encounters. Plus tons of new weapons. It feels like Destiny 2 has really picked up a lot of steam over the last month or so, which is great to see.

This Week in PVE (May 6-13)

• **Rite of the Nine Event Available Now**
• Featured Nightfall: Prison of Elders
  • Champions: All Champions
  • Surges: Arc and Strand
  • Overcharged Weapon: Rocket Launcher
  • Nightfall Weapon:
• Weekly Rotator Raids: Garden of Salvation and King’s Fall
• Weekly Rotator Dungeons: Shattered Throne and Duality
• Weekly Exotic Mission: Starcrossed
• Weekly Cooperative Focus Mission: Ascent

This episode is going great so far, especially compared to the last few. As we get close to the end of the season, I’m quite excited to see what comes next. It’s a bit concerning that we don’t really know anything about the next expansion yet, but there’s still a while to go, so no need to get really worried just yet. The Rite of the Nine activity in May is definitely going to be exciting, so that’s what’s most worth looking forward to at the moment.

This Week in PVP (May 6-13)

• Trials of Osiris: Active this weekend
• Standard Modes: Collision: Slow Capture Variant (3v3 Quickplay), Competitive (3v3 Ranked), Control (6v6 Unranked), Rift (6v6 Quickplay), Hardware Mix (3v3 Modified), Rumble (FFA)

This is one of the most exciting times for PVP in quite some time. The big update is the Trials of Osiris changes, which removes the flawless requirement to go to the Lighthouse and get adept weapons. Now you can do that just by getting 7 wins in general on a specific passage (Lighthouse passage). This is a major change and will almost certainly bring in a bunch of new players who previously avoided Trials. I’m sure there are still going to be some other rewards for the people who are able to get flawless runs, but it feels like it’ll be a much more welcoming experience now than it used to be.

Weekly Loot (May 6-13)

• Ada-1 Shaders: New Age Black Armory, Echoes of Io, Dead Orbit Vision

What’s Coming Up in Destiny 2?

This year feels weird. As someone who’s been playing Destiny since day 1, it’s weird to not know what’s going to happen next. Now that we’re in the last Episode of The Final Shape, there’s not much certainty for the near future. All we really know is that we’re getting two expansion per year, but they won’t be as large as previous yearly ones. It seems like they’re basically going to be using “major updates” similar to seasons and/or episodes to deliver new content. There’s a lot of implications with that, but I’m at least interested to see how it turns out. I hope it all works out.
