The launch of a new raid is a big celebration in Destiny, with Bungie sending actual title belts to the one team who win the 'raid race' and special in-game emblems for everyone who finishes in the first 24 hours.

I'll wander into spoilers a bit later in the post so, y'know, give up if you're waiting to see for yourself. It's a real looker too, balancing clean sci-fi labs with a touch of horror and a big kick of spectacle. Bungie have dropped cryptic hints for years so it's good to finally see what friendly neighbourhood megalomaniac Clovis Bray was sciencing up. The Deep Stone Crypt is the mysterious birthplace of Destiny's robot people, the Exos, and - surprise! - it's monstrous. So when Destiny 2: Beyond Light opened the Deep Stone Crypt last Saturday, I dove straight in with my fireteam for puzzling and a pummelling. Raids are extra brutal at launch because the first 24 hours are under a special 'Contest Mode' making enemies so much tougher while players race for the world's first completion. Before the puzzles are solved, the bosses cheesed, the builds optimised, and the surprises spoiled, get in and discover it for yourself. The best time to play a Destiny raid is as soon as it launches.
