Is Anything Getting Vaulted in Lightfall?

In a recent update, Bungie, the developer of Destiny 2, announced that no expansions will be vaulted in Lightfall. This means that all existing expansions, including those from previous years, will remain playable and accessible to players.

What’s Vaulting?

For those who may not know, "vaulting" refers to the process of removing or making inaccessible certain content in a game, often due to outdated graphics, obsolete gameplay mechanics, or simply to make way for new and exciting updates. This practice has been a topic of concern for many players, as it can be frustrating to lose access to favorite activities, characters, or storylines.

Seasonal Activities

While expansions are off the hook, some seasonal activities are not so lucky. Bungie has announced that the following seasonal activities will be vaulted in Lightfall:

• The Derelict Leviathan: This seasonal activity, which was part of the Season of the Haunted, will no longer be available.
• Spire of the Watcher: Both Duality and Spire of the Watcher, two seasonal activities released during Year 5, will not be removed from the game.

Dungeons and Strikes

For those who enjoy Destiny 2’s cooperative play, it’s good to know that the following Dungeons and Strikes will remain available:

• Dungeons: Duality and Spire of the Watcher, mentioned above, will continue to be playable.
• Strikes: All Strikes, including those from previous expansions, will remain accessible.

What About Forsaken?

One of the most significant vaultings in Destiny 2’s history is the removal of Forsaken’s campaign and the Tangled Shore destination. While Forsaken itself is still playable, these specific parts of the game have been removed.

Why Were They Vaulted?

According to Bungie, Forsaken’s campaign and the Tangled Shore were removed to make way for new and exciting content. The decision was likely made to streamline the game’s narrative and focus on more modern storylines.

Will I Still be Able to Play Forsaken?

Yes, you will still be able to play Forsaken, including its campaign and Strikes. However, keep in mind that the Tangled Shore destination is no longer accessible.

In Conclusion

While some seasonal activities may be vaulted in Lightfall, the good news is that all existing expansions will remain playable and accessible. This decision will undoubtedly please fans of the game who have grown attached to certain activities, characters, or storylines. As the game continues to evolve, it’s exciting to see what new and exciting updates Bungie has in store for us.
