This was a big year for Bungie andDestinyas a franchise, considering there were multiple huge anniversaries to celebrate. For starters, Bungie was founded all the way back in 1991 on July 7, marking this year as the 30th since then, making it a perfect occasion for the developer to celebrate the milestone withinDestiny 2.Destinylaunched 7 years ago, in 2014, whereasDestiny 2launched three years after that, in 2017.
For all these reasons,Destiny 2’s 30th Anniversary Packis a great way to commemorate all of Bungie’s work over all these years. The developer is known for its work on titles likePathways Into Darkness,Myth, andMarathon, but also for being the company that changed the history of gaming withHalo: Combat Evolvedand all its sequels, now handed over to 343 Industries. As forDestiny 2, Bungie did an incredible job with the 30th Anniversary Pack’s contents - namely, the Dares of Eternity 6-player activity and the 3-player Dungeon called Grasp of Avarice.

The Grasp of Avarice Dungeon is part of the paid contents of the DLC, but it’s well worth the price tag due to how engaging and fun it is, and it allowsDestiny 2players to also grab theExotic Gjallarhornand a new type of armor. Gjallarhorn is one of the most iconic weapons in the franchise, if not the most, making it a great addition toDestiny 2after all the years of glory in the original game. However, a true highlight for build customization in the game is Grasp of Avarice’s Artifice Armor: pieces of armor that roll with an additional mod slot for artifact mods exclusively.
In response to a player’s questions regarding what the Adept gear from the Dungeon was, considering there are no Adept weapons in Grasp of Avarice as they would be in Grandmaster Nightfalls or Trials of Osiris, came Bungie’s community manager dmg04. This time around, Bungie opted for a different take on Adept gear, providing players with Artifice Armor in order to improvebuild diversity and customization inDestiny 2.
It’s worth noting that Artifice Armor is only available in Grasp of Avarice’s Master mode, though, which makes it more challenging - but much more rewarding.Destiny 2players complained about Season 15’s Legend seasonal activitiesand their lack of rewards, but the 30th Anniversary Pack more than makes up for that with Grasp of Avarice and Dares of Eternity.
Destiny 2is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
