Destiny 2 — Achievement Walkthrough

Level 20 is the soft cap. Played naturally through the Red War campaign or any newer campaign. XP from missions + strikes.

First Heroic Public Event. See ACH_6. Easy with knowledge of how to trigger Heroic phases — wiki guides per Public Event type.

Same as Titan but Hunter class. Each subclass via Cayde's quests. Play a Hunter character. (Cayde may be dead in lore but the achievement triggers on subclass unlocks.)

Nightfall is a harder weekly strike. Use matchmaking + Power 1700+ recommended. Complete the strike at any difficulty.

Warlock class. Each subclass quest via Ikora. Play a Warlock character.

Public Events appear in patrol zones. Trigger Heroic version (Glimmer Mining = destroy injection pillars, etc.). 5 cumulative — group up with random players to trigger Heroic.

Each subclass quest unlocks via progressing the campaign. Visit Zavala to claim each. Easy on a Titan character.

Xur appears Friday-Tuesday each week. His location rotates. Check Director map or community trackers for current location. Visit him for the achievement.

Hidden. Story-locked Forsaken DLC progression. Complete the Awoken Queen Mara story beats.

Tutorial story quest in Red War campaign. Unmissable on first playthrough. Story-locked.

Red War campaign exotics drop from quests + Xur. 15 unique exotics. Some quest-locked. Xur sells one exotic per week — visit Friday-Tuesday.

Gambit is the PvPvE mode. Two teams of 4 fight PvE waves, then invade each other. Win a match. Match-make via Director > Crucible > Gambit.

Seasonal Hub track. Each weekly Bright Engram + reward = 1 rank. Play actively across one week to hit rank 20 via challenges.

Triumphs are passive achievement counters in-game. Most activities + collection completions grant 5-100 points. Naturally hit 5000 in 50-100 hours of play.

Hidden. The final main-story expansion's last campaign mission. As of 2026, Destiny 2's main saga concluded — finish whichever current expansion you're on.

Forsaken Nightfall bosses appear in specific weekly Nightfall rotation. Use matchmaking. Power 1800+ + build coordination.

Hidden. Exotic quests are long multi-step achievements that reward an exotic weapon. Examples: 'Whisper of the Worm', 'Outbreak Perfected', 'Dead Messenger'. Complete any one.

Forsaken (DLC expansion) added many exotics. Get from quests + Xur. 10 unique cumulative. Forsaken Pack purchase required.

Portal Ops = endgame seasonal activity. Master difficulty requires Power 1810+. Use a coordinated fireteam. Bring meta weapons + supers.

Collections Badges = collect all items in a set (e.g., 'IO' weapon collection). Visit destination vendors + complete bounties. Easier badges: solar weapon collection, EDZ weapon collection.

Grandmaster is the hardest tier. Power-capped, banned over-leveling. Requires deep build knowledge + 3-stack of skilled friends. Months of preparation typical.

Triumph Seals are themed achievement groups. Pick an easier one (e.g., MMXIX from 2019 events) and complete all its sub-triumphs. Visit the Triumphs menu.

Last Wish is the Forsaken raid. 6 players, 4+ hours first time. Multi-phase Riven boss + the Wall of Wishes secrets. Requires a coordinated fireteam — LFG via Discord. One of the hardest raids in Destiny history.
