2021 was quite the year for Destiny 2. Despite no big expansion releases, there was plenty of new content to keep fans busy. With the recent addition of Destiny’s 30th-anniversary content <\/a>and the upcoming Witch Queen expansion, Destiny 2 players should have plenty more to keep themselves busy for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

As with every new expansion, Bungie will vault some of the older content including, exotic weapons and gear. Players looking to grab those powerful exotics from the monument to lost lights in the tower before Bungles shelves them would require extremely rare currency items called Ascendant Shards.
