Destiny 2 Scourge of the Past Raid release date, Start time, Race to be first, Rewards

Destiny 2 developer Bungie is about to launch a brand new Raid as part of the Annual Pass.

The Destiny 2 Scourge of the Past raid has a 5pm GMT release time in the UK on December.

The news was confirmed by Bungie on Twitter: “Your journey beneath the city begins in ONE HOUR. The Scourge of the Past raid goes live at 9am PST.”

This was followed by a second tweet revealing the location: “Heads up, Guardians. The raid node will be on EDZ. Good luck!”

The Raid will be broadcast on the Bungie Twitch channel, where fans can watch the race to be the first to finish.

The first team to beat the Raid will be rewarded with a commemorative belt for their troubles.

And there’s even a reward for players who finish the Raid within the first 24 hours of it going live.

“Anyone who beats all of the encounters of Scourge of the Past in the first 24 hours will be awarded the “Scourge of Nothing” emblem,” Bungie explains.

“If you don’t think you can take down the final boss that fast, you will still have some extra time to qualify for the exclusive raid jacket through Bungie Rewards.

“You have until 9AM Pacific on 12/12 to beat the raid and claim your code to purchase the jacket on the Bungie Store.”

As usual, Bungie hasn’t given much away about the new Raid, other than a few clues in a recent blog post.

Players will need to make their way through the Last City and recover some sort of secret.

“The team could not be more excited for the Scourge of the Past Raid to unlock tomorrow and accept challengers to be the first to fight their way through the Last City and recover a forgotten secret of the Black Armory,” Bungie teases.

“As always, we will be cheering you on from the theater. Dust off your sparrow collections. You’re going to want the right perk, and the right look, for crossing the finish line.

“Make sure you grab the final chest to complete the activity before returning to orbit. Good luck Guardians!”
