It’s that time of the year again, guardians! Bungie has launched the Destiny 2 Dawning 2021 event today, and same as in previous years, expect some holiday rewards, events and more! MP1st is here to help with the Destiny 2 Dawning 2021 schedule, rewards and more all in one place.

Destiny 2 Dawning 2021 Schedule, Rewards, & Details:

Schedule:

The Dawning is a limited-time live event in Destiny 2 which celebrates the winter season and the spirit of giving. The Dawning begins on December 14, 2021, and ends at the weekly reset on January 4, 2022.

During The Dawning, Eva Levante brings her baking supplies and Holiday Oven for all players to use and create holiday gifts that can be given to vendors across the system. To create these gifts, players must defeat various enemies in unique ways to earn materials and use Eva’s Holiday Oven 2.1 to combine them into baked gifts.

Players can expect the first-ever Statis-powered Sword named “Zephyr” to be reward by Eva!

Tess Everis will also have holiday stuff for guardians too! A new universal ornament set for each class will be available in Tess’ store in exchange for Bright Dust or Silver.

Quests and Bounties:

After players create their first holiday gift and speak to Eva, her full inventory will open up where players can obtain bounties, quests, and upgrades.
Dawning Spirit

Players will collect Dawning Spirit through completing bounties, claiming achievements, activating Boons of Friendship, and delivering cookies during the Dawning 2021. Collecting Dawning Spirit will progress Dawning-themed quests and can be exchanged at Eva for Dawning rewards and upgrades.

Recipes and Materials:

While Eva will bring her Holiday Oven with her, players will have to go out into the world to gather Materials and Essence of Dawning by defeating enemies and completing various activities in Destiny 2. Once players have enough Materials, they can combine them together to create tasty treats like Gjallardoodles and Dark Chocolate Motes. Players can combine Materials by finding Eva’s Holiday Oven 2.1 in their Quests, viewing the Oven’s “Details,” and selecting the Materials they wish to combine.

Players can then give these holiday gifts to vendors across the system, depending on what baked good has been created.
