Rite of the Nine Difficulties

The Rite of the Nine activity will feature 3 distinct difficulties:

  • Explorer: Designed for newcomers, this mode includes tutorials, no wipe mechanics, and short revive durations to facilitate learning.
  • Eternity: Aimed at experienced players, it features a scoring system that rewards improved loot based on performance.
  • Ultimatum: Made for veteran Guardians, this challenging mode has Contest Mode difficulty, additional modifiers, and offers higher-quality loot, including adept weapons.

These difficulties are made to suit all kinds of players in Destiny 2, from new or casual players, to hardcore end-game players. No matter the difficulty, the revamped weapons will be worth the grind, as they feature new perks. We will talk about them in detail in the next section.

Rite of the Nine Weapons

Players can earn improved versions of the 12 dungeon weapons (4 for each dungeon), each featuring the new origin trait "Gravity Well", which automatically collects nearby ammo upon reloading.
