Destiny 2 Christmas event “Dawning 2021” starts today – These are the new armor and items

Tonight Destiny 2 starts its Christmas event, “Dawn of 2021”. Cookies are baked again to earn cool items. MeinMMO tells you how the new “dendrite shimmer“-Armor ornaments look like and which gift rewards are waiting for you at the event.

Like every year in December, it will be winter in Destiny 2. The “Anbruch 2021” (Eng. The Dawning), the traditional Christmas event, begins and the tower shines with wintry lights. The guardians meet Eva Levante again and bake delicious cookies for the NPCs with her at the event, do new tasks and earn frosty gifts for them.

Who can take part in the event? Every Guardian is invited to take part in the activities of Dawning 2021. To take part in the event, you don’t need to have a DLC or a season pass. It is enough if you have played the first introductory mission in the cosmodrome to be there.

When is the trailer coming? Bungie has not yet published a trailer for the event. As soon as that happens, we will of course add it here in the article.

Eva Levante, the Destiny 2 “Space-Grandma”, awaits all interested guardians on the tower and has her oven with her again so that you can bake and deliver delicious cookies for the NPCs. There are a total of 11 new triumphs that you can accomplish. Eva also has special quests and raids for you, for which you will be given various items and weapons.

• The sword “Zephyr”, from the dawn of 2017, returns – this time with stasis instead of arc and the new perk “Cold Steel”, which makes charged hits slow down targets.
• And also the “cold front” submachine gun, that Solar machine gun “Avalanche” as well as the void fusion rifle “Glacioclasm” are among the rewards again.
• Plus, as always, lots of wintry, frosty items, emotes and effects

When does the dawning event start? The dawn begins this evening after the weekly reset at 6:00 p.m. Bungie traditionally celebrates Christmas for a total of three weeks, from December 14th to January 4th, 2022.

So you have enough time to get hold of all the rewards and to farm your godrolls, such as an avalanche with the new perks “Livelihood” and “Adrenaline Junkie” or “First Shot”.

How does the event work? You earn the rewards through triumphs and the baking and delivery of freshly cracked cookies. While you are playing Destiny 2, you collect recipes and ingredients. These can then be baked in the festive oven that Eva brings you. Every NPC has their favorite spots. If you give him the right variety, you will also get something as a thank you.

Zavala likes explosive “Gjallardoodles”: Commander Zavala, for example, is looking forward to fresh “Gjallardoodles” cookies from you this year. All you need is an Aether Rod, a Tasty Explosion and some Partial Essence.

In 2021 there will certainly be new recipes and ingredients. So that you can get an overview of what is delicious and what exactly you need for the recipes, here is the complete list from last year:

When it comes to the rewards that you can earn by baking cookies, the “Glacioclasm” empty fusion rifle in particular caused a lot of excitement in advance.

This old breaking weapon is particularly hyped: Players want to have found out that thanks to two perks it could be the absolute must-have of this year’s event. The weapon should be able to drop in 2021 with the perks “Life” and “Storage Salve”.

“Getting along” would reload the magazine from reserves by killing weapons, while “Speicher-Volley” equips the next shot with additional damage and lets enemies explode when they die. A really deadly combination that would make “Glacioclasm” a very powerful weapon. Especially since fusion rifles are currently supported with mods such as “particle decomposition” via the seasonal artifact.

In the shop you can also expect new armor for all three classes in 2021.

What do the armor ornaments cost? If their prices have not changed, you can purchase the universal armor ornament sets of the three classes again for 6,000 Bright Dust (playable in-game currency) or 1,500 silver each.

The snowballs will also return in 2021: Bungie is also fulfilling another Guardian wish at this year’s Dawning event. Snowballs return to Destiny 2 and will cause stasis damage and effects. So you can organize snowball battles again and throw frost effects around you.

• “Long Winter”: Increases the duration of the slowing effects of snowballs.
• “Even longer winter”: Increases the slowing effect on enemies who have been damaged by snowballs.
• “The longest winter”: Snowballs instantly freeze fighters who have been harmed by them.
• “Stay cool”: Snowballs leave a stasis mine when they hit.

Are you at the event and are busy baking cookies for the Destiny 2 NPCs again to get all the Christmas event items? Or do you prefer to pick up the brand new “Artful Armor” in the “Suction of Greed” dungeon so that you are well prepared for the start of “The Witch Queen”? What do you think of the return of the snowball fights?
