The Best Destiny 2 Expansions, Ranked

The Best Destiny 2 Expansions, Ranked

Since its release in 2017, Destiny 2 has had many highs and lows that can be directly correlated to the expansion. Each has progressed the story and added something new to explore, like planets, strikes, and raids. However, not all expansions were received with the same level of enthusiasm. Here's how they stack up.

6. Curse of Osiris

Shortly after the release of the base game in 2017, Curse of Osiris was released. The first and arguably worst of the DLC brought Guardians to Mercury in a time-traveling adventure to stop the Vex. This was largely due to the criminally short length of the campaign. Two new strikes were added and the first Raid Lair, Eater of Worlds, was introduced. Finally, the Infinite Forest was brought about only to be overused for several years in Festival of the Lost.

5. Shadowkeep

October of 2019 was the perfect time to find out the Moon was haunted. Eris Morn discovered a sect of the Hive had built a Scarlet Keep and were preparing an invasion of Earth. As if that weren't enough, Guardians finally came face to face with a Pyramid that had been hidden deep inside the Moon all this time. Bungie unveiled two new strikes, the Garden of Salvation raid and the Pit of Heresy dungeon. Much like Curse of Osiris, Shadowkeep was criticized for its short length and messy launch with Seasonal content.
