Destiny 2 is once again celebrating its Crimson Days event. Whether you’ve got a partner or flying solo, you can partake in the festivities to complete bounties and triumphs, collect Confectionary Hearts, and obtain rewards such as exotic ships, ornaments, and The Vow. You don’t even need to own the season pass since you simply need to get out of the Cosmodrome, reach the Tower, and be at least 790 power level. Here’s our mini-guide on how to get the most out of the Crimson Days event in Destiny 2: Season of Dawn.
Destiny 2: Season of Dawn – Crimson Days
The first thing Destiny 2 players will notice is that not much has changed since the last time that the Crimson Days event was live. In fact, you’ve still got last year’s Tirastrella ghost shell, Undeterred exotic sparrow, and Flaunting Dance emote. The bounties still work the same way. There are two weekly bounties:
- Complete a Nightfall with only a fireteam of two players
- Complete seven Crimson Days bounties
There are four daily bounties, and the ones for today are:
- Complete two Crimson Days matches (Crimson Doubles)
- Loot a lost sector with only a fireteam of two players
- Defeat 22 enemies with melee final blows
- Complete any matchmade activity
You’ll need Confectionary Hearts in order to earn rewards:
- Daily bounties = 15 Confectionary Hearts
- Weekly bounties = 75 Confectionary Hearts
- Crimson Doubles wins = 7 Confectionary Hearts
- Crimson Doubles losses = 5 Confectionary Hearts
There are some notable additions to the rewards such as the SVC-12 and the IVC-10 sparrows (seen in the featured image above). Each costs 50 Confectionary Hearts. Lastly, The Vow combat bow comes fully-masterworked with a rank 10 upgrade in Draw Time. It still costs 100 Confectionary Hearts. All in all, the rewards from last year’s event and the current one will cost a total of 550 Confectionary Hearts.
Crimson Days: Triumphs and Crimson Doubles
You’ve got the following mechanics to take note of while playing Crimson Doubles, the 2v2 match-up that’s only active during the event:
- “Reunited” – the buff increases ability recharge rate when your partner is nearby
- “Falling Apart” – grants waypoints (pips) to your enemies, pointing out where you and your teammate are in case you’re further apart from one another
- “Vengeance” – grants you significantly increased ability regeneration and a small health boost for a short period if your teammate is downed
Destiny 2 players should also take note of various Crimson Days triumphs. The triumphs can be found in the corresponding in-game panel (Seasonal -> Events -> Crimson Days and Crucible -> Medals -> Crimson Days), as well as via Bungie’s help page. These include:
- “Love Conquers All” – Win 11 Crimson Days matches
- “Homewrecker” – Defeat 77 Guardians while they’re affected by the “Reunited” buff; Hint: use Truth or Wardcliff Coil
- “Heartless” – Defeat 77 Guardians while they’ve got “Vengeance” after their teammate got downed
All triumphs have to be completed and claimed before the weekly reset on February 18, 2020. That’s when Destiny 2: Season of Dawn‘s Crimson Days event ends.
Destiny 2: Season of Dawn is available on Steam. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.
