Alongside Destiny 2's Episode: Revenant content drop comes Vesper's Host, a three-player dungeon that, like previous dungeons, is sure to offer some intense challenge to endgame players. That challenge is going to be more intense than usual for the first weekend of Vesper's Host, because for the first time, Bungie is running a world's first completion race similar to those it puts on for its raids. As players compete to be the first in the world to finish Vesper's Host, they'll have to deal with "contest mode," which amps up the difficulty of the activity to level the playing field.

There's a lot going on with Vesper's Host, from its race to its new Exotic weapon, Ice Breaker, a returning favorite from the original Destiny. Here's everything you need to know about Vesper's Host, from when it launches, to race info and contest mode details, and more.
