(This Week In Destiny – 12/14/2023)

In the recent update from the Destiny 2 team, the developers reminded folks that the Dawning event is currently live in celebration of the holiday season.

Besides that though, the shooter's Fireteam Finder Beta has expanded to include all activities — allowing Guardians to find companions more easily for various in-game challenges. The team shared statistics, highlighting the top activities for Fireteam Finder, including dungeons at 43.3%, raids at 26.5%, and free roam at 21.1%. The completion rates for specific Lost Sectors were also provided, showing the feature had a positive impact.

Also, the Destiny community successfully contributed to raising $3.2 million for various charitable causes. The funds have been used for relief efforts, Make-A-Wish wishes, and supporting partner organizations in the Little Lights program.

Additionally, the update included a retrospective on the achievements of 2023. "The Craftening'' saw 2.8 million weapons crafted, with the Ammit AR2 accounting for 559,000 of them.
