Destiny 2 Season of Plunder end date: When will Season 18 end?
Destiny 2 Season of Plunder had a release date of Tuesday, 23rd August, and will end on Tuesday, 6th December at the usual weekly reset times. Don’t worry if you don’t complete the Sails of the Shipstealer seasonal quest by then - you have until the start of Year 6 / Lightfall arriving to do so. There are, however, other things to complete before the next season arrives… It’s December, which means the return of The Dawning and Moments of Triumph 2022! Elsewhere, the Season of the Seraph is here alongside More than a Weapon, Seraph Key Codes and Resonate Stems and the addition of Rose in Crucible. We’ve also seen a new dungeon, Spire of the Watcher, with has a chance of Hierarchy of Needs dropping upon completion. Earliear this year we had the arrival of King’s Fall and King’s Fall challenges, plus weapons including Doom of Chelchis and Touch of Malice. For The Witch Queen, learn how to get Dead Messenger and Parasite.
What should you do before Destiny 2 Season 18 ends?
As with every season, there’s a checklist of things to do before the season concludes. This includes:
Claiming any seasonal titles you have earned. Watch the ending of the seasonal storyline. Usually, this doesn’t require you to complete the season-long quest - for Season 18, this is Sails of the Shipstealer - and though this will be playable until Lightfall and Year 6 begins, this ending will expire when Season 19 arrives.
Reaching Legend rank in any matchmade activities - Crucible, Gambit or Strikes - and redeeming their vendor specific rewards. Redeeming any remaining season pass rewards across all classes. Having some completed Bounties ready, as well as maxing out relevant materials and Glimmer, to give you a head start for the start of next season.
With until December to get everything you need, there should hopefully be plenty of time. Enjoy your space buccaneering in the meantime!
