BollywoodFever: Destiny 2’s Episode Revenant arrives on October 8, bringing a new dungeon, Vesper’s Host, on October 11, 2024. As Guardians aim for the pinnacle Power cap of 2010, Vesper’s Host offers a fresh endgame challenge centered around Fikrul, the Scorn big bad. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect from the dungeon.

Vesper’s Host Dungeon Release Date
The Vesper’s Host dungeon launches on October 11, 2024, three days after Episode Revenant’s debut. The dungeon will open with the daily reset at:
- 6 PM BST
- 1 PM EST
Like previous dungeons, Vesper’s Host will feature both normal and Contest Mode difficulties.
Contest Mode & World First Race
Contest Mode will be active for 48 hours after release, giving Guardians a chance to compete for World First. After three Fireteams clear Contest Mode, the normal version of the dungeon will be unlocked. The recommended Power Level for Contest Mode is 1985, and Guardians can expect more aggressive enemies, resurrection token mechanics, and enrage mechanics during encounters.
Important Contest Mode details:
- Enemies will be more aggressive.
- Encounters will use resurrection tokens.
- No Power advantage above 1985.
- Completing Vesper’s Host in Contest Mode unlocks a special Emblem and guarantees the dungeon’s exclusive Exotic drop.
Vesper’s Host Exotic: Ice Breaker Returns
A fan-favorite from the original Destiny, the Ice Breaker Sniper Rifle will debut in Destiny 2 as the dedicated Exotic drop for Vesper’s Host. While its perks haven’t been fully revealed, Ice Breaker’s original “No Backpack” perk allowed it to generate ammo over time, making it one of the most powerful weapons in the original game. Its second perk, Ice Breaker, caused enemies to combust upon death. However, with the weapon’s transition from Solar to Stasis, expect changes to its effects.
Legendary Weapons & Armor
While details on the Legendary loot from Vesper’s Host remain under wraps, many players anticipate reprised gear from the original Destiny, though Bungie has yet to confirm this. Updates will follow as soon as the dungeon goes live.
