The event will rotate three Destiny 2 dungeons and feature three unique modes.
The dungeons featured will be Prophecy,Spire of the Watcher, and Ghosts of the Deep.
They’ll rotate weekly throughout the event’s duration.
Three modes - Ultimatum, Explorer, and Eternity, will affect the way players experience each dungeon.
Players will be working towards a high score, and that score is calculated on how often you die.
Stay alive as much as possible, and your score will be higher.
That score will determine how good the loot drop is at the completion of each encounter.
Ultimatum mode is for players who are experienced in running dungeons looking for an extra challenge.
Each dungeon will have activity modifiers added which will craft the experience, or make it more challenging.
Bungie’s aim here is to require Guardians to make decisions before entering a dungeon or starting an encounter.
Explorer mode has been created for players who may not have ever played a dungeon before.
They’ll be tuned so that Guardians can go in, learn the mechanics, and gain experience.
It gives players the opportunity to take their time and figure it out.
Bungie wants to remove the penalty for failure and encourage players to learn these dungeons.
In the event’s launch space, Guardians will meet the Emissary, who serves as the event vendor.
The Emissary will offer quests, bounties, and rewards throughout the event.
Four weapons from each dungeon can be earned.
These weapons have reworked perk pools, as well as new perks.
Not only do Adept weapons roll with additional perks, but they have a visual makeover too.
An animated holofoil pattern shines across the weapons, and Nine iconography is engraved into them.
Rite of the Nine will launch as part of Heresy Act 3, which should begin in April.
We’ll also be getting anew Crucible mode that lets you pilot a brig.
Before then, we’ll getGuardian Games and the new Rushdown mode.
