With The Edge of Fate's recent changes to the featured activity system, understanding what raids are available each week has never been more important for dedicated players.

As of July 2025, Bungie has significantly altered how the raid and dungeon rotation system works. Following The Edge of Fate's release on July 15, the traditional rotating featured activities system has been temporarily suspended. This marks a major shift from the previous rotation schedule that Guardians had grown accustomed to throughout the Heresy episode.

The last known featured raids before this change were Crota's End and Vault of Glass, which remained featured until July 15, 2025. For players wondering about the Destiny 2 raid rotation going forward, Bungie has indicated that a new system may be implemented as part of the upcoming Portal framework, though specifics remain unclear.

Historical Raid Rotation Schedule

For reference, here's the raid rotation schedule that was active during the final weeks before The Edge of Fate's launch:

DATE FEATURED RAIDS LOCATIONS
June 17 Crota's End, Vault of Glass Legends
June 24 Last Wish, Vow of the Disciple Dreaming City, Savathun's Throne World
July 1 King's Fall, Garden of Salvation Legends, Moon
July 8 Root of Nightmares, Deep Stone Crypt Savathun's Throne World, Europa
July 15 Crota's End, Vault of Glass Legends

But what exactly does this mean for players? And how should Guardians approach raid farming in this new era?

Why Raid Rotation Matters

You might be wondering: why should I care about which raids are featured each week? The answer is simple - featured raids offer tremendous benefits:

  1. Farmable Loot: Featured raids allow unlimited farming of legendary gear with no weekly lockouts

  2. Pinnacle Rewards: Completing the final encounter of featured raids rewards Pinnacle gear

  3. Exotic Weapons: Better chances at coveted raid exotics like Eyes of Tomorrow from Deep Stone Crypt

  4. God Roll Hunting: Multiple opportunities to pursue perfect weapon rolls

"The featured raid system completely changed how I approach endgame content," explains veteran raider Michael Chen. "Being able to farm Deep Stone Crypt repeatedly for that perfect Heritage shotgun roll revolutionized my PvE loadout."

Dungeon Rotation Integration

Prior to The Edge of Fate, the weekly rotation included both raids and dungeons. The last known dungeon rotation included:

DATE FEATURED DUNGEONS LOCATIONS
June 24 Warlord's Ruin EDZ
July 1 Grasp of Avarice, Warlord's Ruin, Vesper's Host Legends, EDZ, Europa
July 8 Duality, Shattered Throne Moon, Dreaming City

With the Episode Heresy update, Bungie had doubled the number of featured activities each week, ensuring no activity would go more than four weeks without being featured. This was particularly beneficial for newer players looking to experience a variety of endgame content.

What's Next for Destiny 2 Raid Rotation?

The burning question on every Guardian's mind: what's happening with raid rotation moving forward? While Bungie has been somewhat cryptic, community managers have hinted that a revamped system will be implemented that integrates with the new Portal framework introduced in The Edge of Fate.

Some possibilities include:

  • A more predictable rotation with fixed schedules

  • Enhanced rewards for featured activities

  • Integration with seasonal challenges

  • Special modifiers or conditions for featured raids

Have you noticed how the raid rotation affects your weekly planning in Destiny 2? Do you find yourself prioritizing certain activities when they're featured?

Weekly Reset and Planning Ahead

Remember that regardless of what changes come to the rotation system, Destiny 2's weekly reset occurs every Tuesday at 5 PM UTC. This is when any featured raid changes will take effect, along with other weekly activities like Trials of Osiris and Xur's inventory refresh.

For Guardians looking to maximize their endgame progression, planning around these weekly resets remains essential. Keep an eye on Bungie's official communications and community resources for the most up-to-date information on raid rotations.

Conclusion

The Destiny 2 raid rotation system continues to evolve as Bungie refines the endgame experience in 2025. While The Edge of Fate has temporarily disrupted the established rotation pattern, dedicated players can expect new systems to emerge that will continue to make raid farming an engaging and rewarding experience.

Whether you're hunting for that perfect god roll Heritage shotgun from Deep Stone Crypt or seeking the elusive Eyes of Tomorrow rocket launcher, understanding the raid rotation schedule will remain a key part of optimizing your Destiny 2 experience in the months ahead.
