What is the Destiny 2 raid and dungeon rotation this week?

Here’s when you should farm your favorite endgame activities

Learning the raid and dungeon rotation in Destiny 2 is great for farming loot you don’t have yet, and for increasing your Power in Destiny 2. But Bungie doesn’t do a very good job of displaying which raid and dungeon is currently featured in a given week.

In this Destiny 2 rotation guide, I’ll tell you why featured raids and dungeons matter, and give you a calendar showing which endgame activity is featured this week.

There is only one featured raid a week, and Bungie typically announced it in-game the week before. However, via datamining, I’m able to give you the complete raid rotation from now until The Final Shape expansion launches on June 4. The following updates at the weekly reset time.

  • May 14 — Vault of Glass, located in the Legends menu
  • May 21 — Vow of the Disciple, located in Savathun’s Throne World
  • May 28 — King’s Fall, located in the Legends menu

Destiny 2 dungeon rotation this week

What does it mean for a raid and dungeon to be featured?

Destiny 2 has a series of activity types that rotate each week, but the most consequential ones are the endgame activities: raids and dungeons. If you’re new to Destiny, raids are six player activities that are widely considered to be the most difficult content in the game. Dungeons are like smaller, simpler raids and only require three Guardians to complete (and, with practice, and can even be completed solo.)

When a raid or dungeon is featured, you’ll get a Pinnacle Power piece of loot when you complete the activity, and you can complete encounters over and over again for a chance at loot. This means that when, for example, the Last Wish raid is featured, you can dive in and complete each encounter multiple times to unlock a weapon pattern you’ve been dying to get. This is a big shift from normal raids, which will typically only give you loot once per week.

It’s worth noting here that the most recent raid and dungeon added to the game can never be featured, although they offer pinnacle gear every single week.

The most recent raid in Destiny 2 is Crota’s Endadded in Season of the Witch and the most recent dungeon is Warlord’s Ruinadded in Season of the Wish.

This means from June 11, the Crota’s End raid should enter the rotation, as The Final Shape raid will then be the latest. I’ll update this guide with the new dungeon and raid rotation after The Final Shape releases on June 4.
