The annual tradition continues this year, and we’ll continue to enjoy this light-hearted Event. Not all newcomers understand what this occasion is about, and not all veterans know what to expect from it in 2024, so we have gathered all the information about the Dawning event at Destiny.
Sit by the fireplace, pour some cocoa, and let’s begin!
What is Destiny 2 Dawning 2024?
As always, the local Event is dedicated to the upcoming occasion, namely Christmas. The Dawning in the Destiny 2 universe is a joyful holiday where Guardians have fun, throw giant snowballs at each other and enemies, give gifts to friends, and prepare various treats!
During the Event, you can engage in all the usual activities of Destiny 2, collecting ingredients from different places and defeating enemies with powerful Stasis Snowballs. Once you have gathered everything you need, check your Eva’s Holiday Oven in the inventory to make a gift and deliver it to your friends!

How to Start the Dawning Event?
To start the Dawning event, fly to the Tower to speak with Eva Levante. She will grant you her oven (it is in your Inventory tab) and materials to bake Gjallardoodles for Zavala.

How to get the Dawning Spirit in Destiny 2?
As usual, unique material is collected by completing Event Card Challenges, activating Boons of Friendship, Bounties, and bringing gifts to your fellow Guardians! Just, don’t forget to equip Starfarer 7M ship to have a chance to earn this currency from obtaining materials or ingridients.
Now that we’ve figured out how to get this currency, what is it spent on? Primarily, it is spent on Event Upgrades. They are divided into two types: Loot Upgrades (35 Dawning Spirit) and Snowball Upgrades (20 Dawning Spirit). We recommend prioritizing Loot Upgrades, as they will unlock Focusing, as well as additional perks on Dawning Weapons. Speaking of Weapon Focusing, you will also need 25 Dawning Spirit for it.
How to get A Gift in Return in Destiny 2 Dawning?
A Gift in Return box drops with a certain chance when you prepare treats for your friends and give them away. If you are lucky, you’ll get A Gift in Return, and you’ll be able to receive the Dawning Loot or upgrade materials immediately!
Just remember that there is only a chance of receiving it. There is no specific character who would give them out guaranteed.
How to get Dawning Memento in Destiny 2?
During The Dawning 2024, you’ll be able to get a Memento that makes your weapon downright icy!
To acquire the Dawning memento, you have to complete Winter Night quest from Eva (75 Snowball Final Blows, 25 Upgraded Snowball Final Blows, and bake Classic Butter Cookie). This is necessary so that you can earn it from opening A Gift in Return.
The Dawning Weapons: Overview
The Destiny 2 Christmas event this year intrigues us with its high-quality and valuable weapons, which can be used in different situations.
The Dawning Weapons: Overview
The Destiny 2 Christmas event this year intrigues us with its high-quality and valuable weapons, which can be used in different situations.
Mistral Lift, Linear Fusion Rifle
God roll | Third column | Fourth column |
---|---|---|
Mistral Lift god roll for PvE | Withering Gaze Envious Arsenal Reconstruction Envious Assassin | Bait and Switch Precision Instrument |
The new Dawning weapon is the Mistral Lift, and this Adaptive LFR is absolutely stunning. One of the strongest perk combos is Withering Gaze + Bait and Switch, allowing you to apply the Weaken debuff to the target and increase the weapon’s damage by 30%. If you’re playing solo, this combo guarantees you a 50% damage increase against the target.
Albedo Wing
God roll | Third column | Fourth column |
---|---|---|
Albedo Wing god roll for PvE | Grave Robber Air Trigger | Close to Melee |
The Albedo Wing is unlikely to surprise even the most dedicated Glaive fans. The best roll on it is Grave Robber and Close to Melee, making it a great choice for a Glaive Melee build. Unfortunately, this is where the usefulness of the Albedo Wing ends.
Avalanche, Machine Gun
God roll | Third column | Fourth column |
---|---|---|
Avalanche god roll for PvE | Subsistence Dragonfly Rewind Rounds Auto-Loading Holster | Incandescent Golden Tricorn |
Avalanche is a completely different story. Every year, this Machine Gun keeps getting better and better. This year, players might be interested in Dragonfly in the third column, which, when paired with Incandescent, will create a lot of explosions. While this roll is fun, it’s better to consider other options that will save you time on reloading.
Glacioclasm, Fusion Rifle
God roll | Third column | Fourth column |
---|---|---|
Glacioclasm god roll for PvE | Envious Assassin Overflow Air Trigger Subsistence | Withering Gaze Controlled Burst Reservoir Burst |
Glacioclasm god roll for PvP | Lone Wolf Under Pressure | Closing Time High-Impact Reserves |
Glacioclasm is considered one of the best High-Impact Fusion Rifles for a reason. It has excellent stats and good perks but a significant downside. Glacioclasm is only available for three weeks a year, making it unpopular.
There are two types of rolls for PvE: DPS or Add-Clear. Envious Assassins or, Overflow + Withering Gaze, or Controlled Burst will be great options if you’re looking for a high-damage Fusion. Otherwise, Reservoir Burst and Subsistence will be more to your liking. However, the best showcase of this weapon is in Crucible, where it offers one of the strongest perk combos: Lone Wolf and Closing Time.
Stay Frosty, Pulse Rifle
God roll | Third column | Fourth column |
---|---|---|
Stay Frosty god roll for PvE | Rimestealer | Headstone |
Stay Frosty god roll for PvP | Lone Wolf | Headseeker Kill Clip |
Stay Frosty likely wouldn’t have caught anyone’s interest in previous years, but this time the situation has changed. Many will like the combination of Rimestealer and Headstone for PvE, as it allows you to create Stasis Crystals and gain Frost Armor constantly. In PvP, Stay Frosty can be considered the best Lightweight Pulse Rifle, as it has decent stats and the Lone Wolf perk, which increases Aim Assistance up to 90.
Zephyr, Sword
God roll | Third column | Fourth column |
---|---|---|
Zephyr god roll for PvE | Relentless Strikes Attrition Orbs | Cold Steel Surrounded Whirlwind Blade Chain Reaction |
Zephyr was once quite unique, but now it’s simply useless. If you need a good Stasis Sword, you should instead consider The Slammer from Nightfalls.
The Dawning Event Card and Title
Once again, we have a new Event card, which grants various rewards for completing its challenges. You will receive The Dawning Seal if you meet all the tasks, so you should take care of this. This time, the following challenges are presented:

Of course, armor from previous years is also available. Each has a different theme, but they all have a lovely winter look, and you are able to see them below:
Now let’s quickly go through the other new items that will be available for purchase at Eververse for Silver or Bright Dust during the three weeks:
