Destiny 2 Season 18 Raid: Release Date And How To Prepare

Destiny 2's next seasonal update looks like it could be a big deal, as it not only begins a new chapter for Bungie's sci-fi game, but also overhauls a lot of its mechanics.

The team is currently working on revamping the Arc subclass to bring it up to par with Solar and Void. In addition, a new raid is on the way, which is likely to be a fan favorite from the original game.

Along with that, you can also expect weekly story missions, seasonal weapons, armor and ornaments, along with returning modes like Trials of Osiris and a brand-new Iron Banner. The current in-game season is scheduled to end on Aug. 23. Once the weekly maintenance is complete, players can expect the new season to begin.

Bungie will also be hosting their Destiny 2 showcase on the same day as the reset. This will give players a first look at the upcoming Light fall expansion, as well as some insight into what the next season might hold. Specific details regarding the new season will be announced during the showcase.

What to expect from the raid

Although the specifics of the raid won't be revealed until the Destiny 2 Season 18 showcase on Aug. 23, we do know it's a refreshed one from the original game, much like Vault of Glass. The new raid will go live on Aug. 26, and, as usual, there will be a race among the Fireteams to see who can complete all the necessary challenges first.

For the first 24 hours after the launch of the new raid, it will be available in contest mode. After the initial day, you'll be able to access the raid normally. The expected power level for the raid is 1560.

How to prepare

If you're looking to prepare for the Destiny 2 Season 18 raid, there are a few things you can do to ensure you're as ready as possible. First, make sure you're well-versed in the game's mechanics and understand how the raid works. Secondly, assemble a team of like-minded players who are also looking to complete the raid. This means having a mix of classes and subclasses that can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Also, ensure you have all the necessary gear and supplies to take on the challenges ahead. Finally, you should have a solid plan for how you and your team are going to approach the raid. This could include things like what order you will take down the bosses in, or what roles each player will take on during the encounter.

Here are some other points you can keep in mind:

• If you want to start preparing for the raid, make sure you have a fire team of six people ready
• You should also have a power level of at least 1560 if you want to have a chance at completing the raid
• You'll need to communicate with your team and make sure everyone is on the same page
• Raids are difficult, but they're also very rewarding
• Once you complete the raid, you'll receive some powerful gear that will help you in your future Destiny 2 Season 18 endeavors
