Bungie is hosting Destiny 2’s first-ever Dungeon Race with Contest Mode for the Vesper’s Host dungeon. Here’s a list of every weapon, armor, and abilities disabled during the race.
In an exciting expansion of its competitive events, Bungie is set to host Destiny 2’s inaugural Dungeon Race, marking a significant milestone for the game’s community. Following the thrilling Raid Race events that have captivated players, this new challenge will focus on the recently launched Vesper’s Host dungeon. Scheduled for Friday, October 11, 2024, at 10 AM PT, this event promises to bring a fresh wave of excitement to the game.
The Vesper’s Host dungeon race will feature the Contest Mode modifier, which will be active for a full 48 hours. For those unfamiliar with Contest Mode, it serves to level the playing field by capping players’ Power Levels. This ensures that skill and strategy take precedence over sheer power, making for a more competitive and engaging experience.
As players dive into the Vesper’s Host dungeon, they can expect to encounter a host of new weapons and armor. Notably, the beloved Ice Breaker exotic sniper rifle is making a return, now equipped with new perks and an exotic catalyst that promises to enhance its gameplay. This addition is sure to excite long-time fans of the franchise who have been eagerly awaiting its comeback.
However, to maintain a level playing field and prevent any unintended advantages, Bungie has announced a comprehensive list of items that will be disabled during the race. This decision aims to eliminate any potential exploits or imbalances that could arise from certain weapons or abilities.

Bungie has emphasized the importance of these restrictions, stating, “To ensure a fair playing field and prevent errors during the Vesper’s Host Dungeon Race, we are creating a list of weapons, armor, and abilities that will be disabled within the dungeon activity.” This proactive approach reflects Bungie’s commitment to fostering a competitive environment where skill and teamwork are paramount.
The Dungeon Race kicks off today, Friday, October 11, 2024, at 9:30 AM PT, and will be streamed live on Twitch Rivals.
