So, we've been seeing some interesting videos where Guardians are doing near infinite damage to bosses thanks in part to unintended Artifact perk stacking. Quite hilarious to watch, to be honest!
While we're planning a fix (next week likely), we think this is a bit fun. Go ahead. Get out there, beat up on Atheon. Destroy some bosses. Do your thing.
Just to note: we will be disabling Artifacts in Crucible/Gambit to protect Guardians from being on the receiving end of this.
We tried to come up with a name. The Artifactening? Sure. Why not. If you have a better suggestion... throw it our way.
All in all, it's Monument of Triumph. Do some crazy stuff. Send us your videos. Have some fun. Be Brave.
To the Destiny 2 community,
Thank you.
As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose.
We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it.
Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters.
You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny.
With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us.
From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning.
With gratitude,
The Destiny 2 Art Team

...and we're still hunting down stragglers.
This is a big patch. Our teams have worked tirelessly to hit the highest priority/impacting bugs before launch, but there may be a few rough edges.
We hope you find Monument of Triumph to be packed to the brim with fun. If you encounter any issues on launch day or beyond, never hesitate to send us the info.
It's over boys. To quote Hughie: This is "DIABOLICAL."
Since this has now been declared a war by Lore Kiddy,
I've officially privated 10 years of Crota solo videos. Good luck with soloing Crota in D3. Guides aren't in the game, & no one at the studio can teach you (all working on Marathon). Better not piss off Esoterickk, he is the last source of comprehensive solo videos.
