In my post Following Destiny, I already described my return to Destiny 2. After several years away, a lot has changed in the game, such as the expansions. Unfortunately, Bungie doesn’t make it easy for you if you want to get up to date.

The last expansion I bought was Shadowkeep, which introduced the Moon as a new planet and the Season model. Since then, three expansions have been released: Beyond Light, The Witch Queen, and Lightfall. In between, there was also a 30th Anniversary Pack, which has a raid hidden inside. And for The Witch Queen and Lightfall, there’s also a Dungeon Key that you have to buy separately to unlock the dungeons.

Of course, Bungie really makes you pay for all this, which is actually okay. At least, if you play the game regularly and essentially buy content as it comes out. In hindsight, without having the actual seasons, the prices are rather… cheeky. And the whole thing is also confusingly designed. You can just buy Beyond Light and you get everything. I initially thought the 30th Anniversary Pack was just for cosmetics, but there’s a raid hidden in there too. And outside of Steam, there’s still a Deluxe package for The Witch Queen that includes the Dungeon Key. You can save a good 15 euros if you know about it.

And with Lightfall? The Dungeon Key is included in the Annual Pass bundle. And the seasons, of course. Then you’re up to date. Until the next expansion. Without my clan, I definitely wouldn’t have figured it all out and probably would have ended up paying more than double. Transparent business practices look a little different…
