It seems like we just wrapped up Destiny 2's Halloween-themed in-game event, the Festival of the Lost, and already the people of the Tower are slapping up their holiday decorations for the game's next celebration. That event is The Dawning, Destiny's version of a snow-covered space holiday season, which is usually marked by players going around giving NPCs gifts.

　　The Dawning returns with the latest Destiny 2 weekly reset on December 11, and with it comes the usual holiday giving event--but this year, it's all about baking. As Bungie noted in its blog post about the event, the major single-player part of The Dawning will be all about making and delivering cookies to spread holiday cheer. You'll earn ingredients as you work through the missions, but you'll have to discover the most delicious cookie recipes on your own. Luckily, we've got The Dawning Recipe Guide, because if you want to unlock everything during the event, you're going to be doing a lot of baking.

　　Now Playing: Destiny 2: Black Armory Gofannon Forge Completion

　　Facilitating all this cookie-sharing is Eva Levante, a Destiny character who's been missing from the game since the launch of Destiny 2. There are even lore items tied to Eva's story, so visiting her will likely fill in some interesting backstory gaps for her and a bunch of characters.

　　As with every big in-game event, the Dawning comes with a whole new batch of cosmetic items to earn or buy, too. They're mostly winter-themed, but the most interesting additions are two-player emotes, which let you activate a cool animation like high five or fist bump with another player.

　　The other big activity returning with the Dawning is Mayhem, a Crucible playlist we haven't seen since the first Destiny. As the name implies, this one is pure, hilarious chaos. Power weapon ammo drops much more frequently, and Super abilities charge up super quickly--meaning everyone in the match is constantly zapping, stabbing, hammering, and exploding each other.

　　Finally, there's a minor patch to Destiny 2 that comes with the Dawning. Update 2.1.2 gives a bit of a fix to Prime Engrams, making them drop more frequently and with higher power levels to help you grind up to the Power cap and get ready for the Black Armory's new raid, Scourge of the Past.

　　Check out the full patch notes below.

Items and Economy

　　Prime engrams will now drop more frequently and with larger power bumps for players under 600 Power

Misc
