Destiny 2 Adds Its First 12-Player Co-Op Activity To Close Out Its 10-Year Story
It took almost an entire day, but one Destiny 2 fireteam rose to the challenge over the weekend to conquer the new Salvation’s Edge raid in The Final Shape. Team Parabellum was acknowledged by Bungie as the Worlds First winners of the raid, as the group spent 19 hours exploring the high-level PvE event, cracked several tough puzzles, and eventually faced off against the Witness. Fittingly, this is the longest that it has taken a raid to be cleared, narrowly beating the infamous record set by Forsaken’s raid, The Last Wish.
That victory also opened up one more mission in The Final Shape, Excision, allowing players from all over the world to band together to put the Witness down for good.
We have received reports that a fireteam has successfully completed the Salvation’s Edge Raid and prevented the Witness’s Final Shape.
Please stand by as we verify.

Salvation’s Edge proved to be an especially difficult and complex raid. In the rush to get the coveted Worlds First win, several teams streaming the raid began to mute their mics or took their stream offline entirely so that other teams couldn’t copy their methods for clearing parts of the activity. Destiny legend Datto resorted to streaming just his face as the game went onto an audience of tens of thousands–and several fans complained about how these measures took some of the thrill out of watching teams complete what is arguably the most important raid in Destiny’s history.
