Destiny 2's biggest lore drop downgraded to 'just another mission'.
Guiding the Destiny 2 Journey
Gather ’round, Guardians! The time has come for Destiny 2’s grand finale, The Final Shape expansion. We’ve been anxiously waiting for this epic conclusion to the Light and Darkness saga, hoping for closure on storylines and character arcs. But hold on to your space helmets, because the Veil Containment mission, tucked away on Neptune, might have slipped under your radar. This hidden gem not only holds vital information about the Destiny 2 universe and its timeline, but also provides new perspectives on past events.
However, dear Guardians, you might find yourselves scratching your heads and wondering why this mission didn’t grab your attention sooner. The Season of the Deep brought with it a juicy lore drop, but alas, the Veil Containment mission was easily missed. It’s like finding a legendary engram amidst a flood of blue drops – easy to overlook. And let’s not forget the anticlimactic storytelling method used in the mission, leaving us yearning for the riveting lore reveals we’ve come to love.
A Tale of Confusion and Missed Opportunities
The Veil Containment mission has some communication issues. It fails to shout from the Tower that it can be replayed on multiple weekly resets after your initial completion. Unlike other activities in Destiny 2 that lure us with juicy rewards, like Pinnacle gear Engrams, this mission hides its true potential.
Repeating the mission won’t yield any additional rewards after your first triumph. Alas, only the most ardent lore enthusiasts will find joy in exploring the minutiae of Destiny 2’s ongoing story. Thankfully, at this point in the Season of the Deep, Guardians can enter the Veil Containment mission and absorb all the lore in one fell swoop.
Before we even embark on the Veil Containment mission for the first time, it doesn’t exactly grab our attention. Cloudstrider Nimbus, the mission giver, sneaks it into our quest line as a means to earn a shiny new weapon touted in the Lightfall expansion. Once we’ve claimed our Epochal Integration weapon, the thought of revisiting Veil Containment likely fades away like lost socks in the Ascendant Plane.

And here’s the kicker: the mission isn’t exactly replayable. When you load into it after your initial completion, you’ll find yourself at the end of the mission, staring at a terminal that triggers the lore reveals. While we appreciate the desire for replayability, some of Destiny 2’s seasonal storylines have faced criticisms for lackluster storytelling methods, and Veil Containment is no exception.
Yet, my fellow Guardians, fret not! The lore unveiled in Veil Containment dwarfs the implications of certain past Seasons. It delves deep into the mysteries of the Veil, weaving connections to Neptune, the Vex, Exos, Siva, Savathun, and more. It’s like discovering a hidden treasure trove of knowledge that amplifies our understanding of the Destiny 2 universe.
Carving the Path for Future Tales
However, it’s disheartening to know that many players may miss out on experiencing the lore wonders concealed within the Veil Containment mission. Future content in Destiny 2 should tread carefully and learn from the missteps of Veil Containment. Let’s not repeat its flaws.
The practice of uncovering lore through repeated mission completions is a well-established practice in Destiny 2. Yet, the lack of proper advertisement for this particular quest hinders its reach among the Guardian community. Keep us in the loop, Bungie!
So, my friends, grab your Ghosts and embark on this hidden odyssey. Destiny 2’s The Final Shape expansion beckons, promising a thrilling end to our cosmic journey. Let’s savor every moment and relish the riches buried within the Veil Containment mission.
Remember, Destiny 2 awaits on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The stars are calling, Guardians!
