Guardians and gamers everywhere, it’s time to min/max your builds, equip your best loadouts, and get ready for another Destiny 2 race.
After two intense races in 2024, the first competition of 2025 in Destiny 2 is the Sundered Doctrine World First dungeon race. Teams of three Guardians around the globe will queue up at the same time to fly into an old location offering new encounters and puzzles to try and win the title of being a world first champion, forever.
Something is afoot in the old pyramid ship in Savathun’s Throne World. The massive vessel previously led by Rhulk and seen in the Vow of the Disciple raid from The Witch Queen expansion has new tenants in the Dread, The Witness’s army, and they must be stopped. That’s where the Guardians come in.
Let’s lock in and see who’s going to take home the title of World First champions, along with some sweet real life prizes.
