Destiny 2 Offering Players Free Weekly Gift

Bungie announces a new reward for Destiny 2 players where they can earn Bright Dust each week starting on March 5 simply by going to the Eververse store in-game. With Season of the Wish's storyline now complete, Bungie's new challenge will be keeping players invested over the next few months. Originally, the anticipated Final Shape expansion was set to launch later this month, but an unfortunate delay pushed those plans out into June, leaving Destiny 2 players with a sizable content drought and a much longer season than was planned.

Some parts of the Destiny 2 schedule have been shuffled around, with Guardian Games coming in March and Moments of Triumph being currently live now. Bungie also introduced Riven's Wishes, a weekly quest where players complete a Dreaming City related challenge and can earn Lightfall exotics, Last Wish raid weapons, and more. Starting in April, Destiny 2 players can also take part in a new event called Into The Light, which aims to be some sort of precursor event to The Final Shape expansion. However, to further entice players to continue logging in, Bungie announced a new plan to reward players with Bright Dust starting in March.

Inside of Bungie's weekly update, the studio announced new plans to reward Destiny 2 players with Bright Dust simply for logging in. Starting on March 5, players can head to the Eververse Store at the Tower to claim 700 Bright Dust. Better yet, Bungie mentions that players can claim this bonus each week leading up to the launch of The Final Shape in June, so it stands to reason that a lot of in-game currency can be acquired for those dedicated enough to log in each week.

In addition to the Bright Dust reward, Bungie also confirmed a few other ritual changes taking place due to the extended season. Typically, Iron Banner only arrives three times during each Destiny 2 season, but for Season of the Wish, Lord Saladin's PvP mode is coming back on April 2 and 30 alongside the reprised Multimach CCX SMG and the new Tusk
