Bungie officially confirms that Contest Mode has ended for Destiny 2’s Root of Nightmares, opening up the raid to all players.
Contest Mode for the first raid of Destiny 2’s Lightfall expansion, Root of Nightmares, has officially ended. Thousands of Destiny 2’s most dedicated players have spent the past two days striving to complete the Lightfall raid. Contest mode’s additional challenge made for an achievement worth striving for. The window for completion is now up, however. Destiny 2 players who have been waiting for their opportunity to dive into Root of Nightmares without the added difficulty and pressure can now join in the fun.
For those unfamiliar, Contest Mode is an experience Bungie has crafted around the launch of its raids in Destiny 2. For the brief duration of Contest Mode, Destiny 2 Guardians have their power capped well below the standard power levels accepted for the raid. Not only does this allow for Destiny 2 players of myriad power levels to have an even playing field, but it ensures reach raid will be especially challenging at launch.
