Even though the accomplishment belongs to the folks who make up The Legend Himself, all Destiny 2 players have reason to celebrate their victory. The completion of the raid triggered a new Crucible map, Emperor’s Respite, available now for all Guardians.
Destiny 2 has only been available for a week, leaving not much time for players to get raid ready. In order to enter Leviathan, your power level needs to be at least 260, although 270 or more is recommended (300 is the current max).
Those who participated in raids in the original know how grueling they can be. The clan who just completed Leviathan has a solid track record for completing Raids in remarkably short periods of time. According to Polygon, The Legend Himself nearly finished Wrath of the Machine, a Rise of Iron raid, first. That raid was completed in a blisteringly fast two hours.
The sub-six-hour completion time notches in around previous fastest raid completions. After the first ever Destiny raid Vault of Glass took roughly 14 hours to be beat, the best Destiny players have significantly decreased their fastest times. The Dark Below‘s Crota’s End raid was completed in right around six hours, while The Taken King‘s King’s Fall was conquered in around seven hours.
Destiny 2 is already shaping up to be what many expected Destiny to be. During launch week, we questioned whether the quality of Destiny 2 really mattered to the players who stuck with the original for years. Thankfully, as we continued to play we realized that Destiny 2 is a much more immersive and exciting experience than the original.
