Raids are the heart of Destiny 2's endgame: long, six-player missions with puzzles, big bosses and unique loot. Below is every raid released in Destiny 2, including the two smaller raid lairs and the three Destiny 1 raids that were brought back, in release order. Use the buttons to filter by type.

What makes a raid

Six playersRaids are Destiny's hardest PvE activities, built for a fireteam of six working together.
Mechanics firstEvery encounter has a puzzle or role-based mechanic. Damage alone won't win – communication will.
Unique lootEach raid has its own weapons, armour and an Exotic. Since The Edge of Fate, raid loot also drops in tiers.
Pantheon 2.0Monument of Triumph added a second Pantheon with remixed raid bosses.

Which raids can I play?

The Leviathan raids, Scourge of the Past and Crown of Sorrow were removed with the Destiny Content Vault. In September 2026 Bungie said vaulted raids will be restored, but no date has been given. The newest raid is The Desert Perpetual from The Edge of Fate (2025); Monument of Triumph added no new raid.
