Destiny 2 Shares Important Message About Defiant Engrams Ahead of Season 20 Finale
Bungie released a statement regarding the status of Destiny 2 Defiant Engrams ahead of the start of Season 21. Defiant Engrams were introduced in Season 20 of Destiny 2, titled Season of Defiance. These were a valuable new type of engram that could be obtained by completing various different in-game activities and could be used by players to acquire various rewards throughout the season.
Among the aforementioned rewards, Defiant Engrams can be used to purchase the best Destiny 2 weapons in the Season of Defiance. While players will need to work hard this season to be able to claim these items, there are actually three ways to gain access to them. The first is by completing Defiant Battlegrounds. The second method is to increase the War Table’s reputation. The best way would be the third way in which Defiant Engrams can be focused on the HELM War Table for weapons or armor. However, with season 20 coming to a close, most fans are wondering if the aptly titled engrams would go away afterward.
According to a Bungie representative on their forums, War Table Engrams will not disappear once the Destiny 2 season ends. While players were originally confused by the current “This Week at Bungie” announcement stating that Tower and HELM vendors will be reset once Season 21 launches, Bungie’s forums seem to confirm that they will still be available. Many players suggested that an official announcement be made via Twitter or elsewhere, as it was implied that not everyone reads the forums. However, this means good news for fans who have invested their engrams and still haven’t received their desired weapons and armor.
As Destiny 2’s Defiance Season draws to a close, fans share mixed opinions on how the season ended. Many fans were disappointed that it felt like filler content, especially with how they felt the final mission missed the mark. Regardless, the fanfare for seasonal rewards and offerings like weapons and armor was the saving grace for most players. This is also why the concern with engrams is at the forefront of discussion.
Destiny 2 Season 21, Season of the Depths, launches on May 23, 2023, and with it will also come new rewards. Players are expected to work again in order to receive the upcoming weapons and armor that come with each season. Remaining Defiant Engrams will not be able to purchase rewards for the new season, with players hoping to earn a new variety of Engrams for use with Season of the Deep. However, the news that the Defiant will still remain is good news for anyone looking to start the new season with the rewards of the previous one.
Destiny 2 is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
