Destiny 2 New Dungeon Sundered Doctrine: Release Date, Race Details, And Everything To Know

In Destiny 2, the Future Unfolds

In the ever-evolving world of Destiny 2, one chapter ends only to make way for the next. As Revenant Act 3 wraps up, players eagerly anticipate the upcoming Past is Prologue event set to kick off on January 21. But looking even further ahead, the next installment, Hersey, is on the horizon, bringing with it a brand-new dungeon known as Sundered Doctrine.

This new dungeon will take players back to Savathûn’s Throne World, where they must infiltrate the Pyramid Ship of their old nemesis Rhulk. Although Rhulk may have been defeated by the Guardians in The Vow of the Disciple, his ship is likely teeming with new dangers and challenges for players to overcome. Elite players are also invited to partake in a competitive race to conquer Sundered Doctrine’s Contest Mode, featuring increased difficulty and a heightened level of challenge compared to normal gameplay settings.

As we anticipate the launch of Sundered Doctrine, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to help you prepare for the race, detailing everything from entry requirements to coveted rewards.

When is the Launch of Sundered Doctrine?

Sundered Doctrine is set to launch on Friday, February 7. For the first 48 hours following its release, players will engage in a fierce competition to be the first fireteam to successfully complete Sundered Doctrine in the challenging Contest Mode. Victory will be claimed by the team that emerges triumphant, bringing the contest to an end.

Requirements for Sundered Doctrine’s Contest Mode

During the initial 48-hour window, any three-player fireteam can enter the Contest Mode, provided that all team members have achieved a Power Level of 1995 or higher. Additionally, each member must possess The Final Shape Dungeon Key and complete The Drowning Labyrinth quest before venturing into Sundered Doctrine.

Strategies for Conquering Sundered Doctrine

Success in Sundered Doctrine will require seamless coordination and teamwork. Each member of the fireteam must have previously completed and looted every encounter within the dungeon. Furthermore, all encounters must be completed for the first time by every team member for a victory to be official.

The final challenge of Sundered Doctrine demands that players retrieve loot from the final chest to secure their win. However, Contest Mode significantly amps up the difficulty with fiercer enemies and an enrage mechanic that adds a time pressure element. With a Power Level cap of 1995 for all participants, players must rely on skill and strategy to emerge victorious. Resurrection tokens will be available during encounters to aid players.

Rewards for Completing Sundered Doctrine’s Contest Mode

The triumphant fireteam will earn a unique emblem and a guaranteed exotic weapon drop as rewards. While details on the specific exotic weapon have yet to be revealed by Bungie, anticipation is high for the spoils of victory.
