Thank you to everyone signing in to join us for Monument of Triumph. We've seen quite a few fireteams reuniting, groups memorizing Pantheon patterns to prep for Saturday's gauntlet, and many asking for clues about [REDACTED]. Those nailbiter SRL finishes? And the drip with all this new armor? What a wild day so far. Keep it up.

Patch Notes for Update 9.7.0, the one about Monument of Triumph and more, are now available: bungie.net/7/en/News/Article…

To the Destiny 2 community, Thank you. As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose. We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it. Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters. You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny. With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us. From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning. With gratitude, The Destiny 2 Art Team

Orders achieved, Guardians! We asked for 15 million kills in two weeks, you delivered them in less than five days. Then we upped the ante to 50 million and you reached that number with days to spare before the official deadline! Zavala couldn't be prouder of how you have completed his original and escalated Commander's Orders. While we're getting ready to deliver your hard-earned Commander's Salute and Gold Stars emblems into participating accounts, Guardians can still participate before this Community Challenge ends on May 12 at reset time.

Zavala is indeed impressed by your performance and celebrates that his Community Challenge of 15 million PvE enemies defeated has been met in just five days. In light of this, he has escalated his Commander's Orders: reach 50 million PvE enemy defeats using the Vanguard-issued weapons he listed before reset time on May 12 to earn an additional, unreleased emblem for all participating Guardians. We'll reveal the second emblem in this week's TWID!
