Guardians, it’s time to gear up. Today marks the launch of Vesper’s Host, the latest dungeon in Destiny 2, and it’s already throwing the community into a frenzy. With eerie transmissions originating from an abandoned BrayTech station above Europa, Guardians are tasked with investigating what horrors—and untold rewards—lie within the station’s cold, metallic corridors. But this isn’t just another mission. This time, it’s a race against time and each other.
For the first time in Destiny 2’s storied history, Bungie is launching an official Dungeon Race, pitting the community against one another to see which fireteam can complete Vesper’s Host the fastest. The stakes? Glory, bragging rights, and the chance to be immortalized within the game’s lore. Of course, the dungeon itself comes with terrifying new challenges—cryptic puzzles, deadly enemies, and fierce bosses ready to crush even the most seasoned players.
What We Know About Vesper’s Host So Far
Centered around a derelict BrayTech station, Vesper’s Host specializes in both mystery and dread. The setting itself is integral to the story, as Guardians are likely to uncover more about the enigmatic tech company’s dark past. BrayTech has long been known for its shady experiments, and if there’s one thing Destiny 2 fans have learned, it’s that the deeper you dig into the Bray family, the stranger—and more dangerous—things get.
While specific details about enemies and the final boss are being kept tightly under wraps (much to everyone’s excitement), early impressions suggest this dungeon pushes players’ problem-solving skills to their limits while demanding excellent coordination in combat. Reports from Bungie hint at new mechanics tied to Europa’s icy environment, with the potential for environmental hazards to play a key role in how the dungeon unfolds.
The Dungeon Race: How You Can Take Part
For those eager to participate in the Vesper’s Host Dungeon Race, the rules are simple: assemble a fireteam of three, enter the dungeon at launch, and complete it as quickly as possible. Competitive teams will be streaming their attempts on platforms like Twitch, so expect to see plenty of Guardians battling for the top spot.
But speed alone won’t guarantee victory. Reaching the finish line will require precision, strategy, and perfect execution of the dungeon’s mechanics. Whether you’re sprinting through encounters or meticulously planning every move, the Dungeon Race represents Destiny 2 at its most intense.
If you’re thinking of jumping in, here’s a quick tip: as always, loadouts matter. Bring weapons with diverse elemental types to handle enemy shields, and don’t forget to prepare for long-range and close-quarters battles. Europa’s natural environment may also favor fireteams that are equipped with anti-Stasis strategies, considering the frigid terrain could pose additional environmental hazards.

Community Buzz: Speculation and Theories
It wouldn’t be a Destiny 2 launch without the community spinning up theories. Over on the game’s super-active Reddit, Guardians are already discussing what role BrayTech might play within the dungeon. Will we see something similar to the Deep Stone Crypt, or could this reveal something new entirely? There’s a lot of speculation about whether the dungeon ties into larger narrative threads set by previous seasons, especially with the Bray family and their links to artificial intelligence.
Another significant point of conversation is the dungeon’s rewards. Bungie has been tight-lipped about the loot pool, but dungeon completions in Destiny 2 are traditionally packed with exclusive gear. Exotic weapon rumors are already circulating, with many hopeful for a new BrayTech-inspired rifle or even a further evolution of Stasis-based weapons.
Time to Jump In
Whether you’re racing to be the first to complete Vesper’s Host or just excited to unravel the mysteries hidden within its BrayTech halls, there’s no denying that this dungeon is shaping up to be one of Destiny 2’s most exciting experiences yet. For those watching the competition from the sidelines, it’s a reminder that Destiny 2 continues to evolve, constantly offering new and thrilling challenges for its player base.
