  • Summary:
    Rule the Frontier
    The Lawless Frontier calls — an uncharted expanse where power alone isn’t enough. Every choice carries risk, and every alliance comes at a price. Navigate a world of shadows and syndicates, shape your legend through influence, and become the force that tips the balance.

    New Story Missions
    Step into the next chapter of the Fate Saga as a new threat rises across Sol. The Drifter pursues a cryptic warning from the Nine about the Barant Imperium’s deadly new superweapon, the Nightfall Station. Forge uneasy alliances with rival Syndicates and take on dangerous jobs that pull you deeper into a hidden world of shifting loyalties and escalating conflict.

    The Lawless Frontier
    At the heart of Renegades is the Lawless Frontier, where the crime Syndicates of Tharsis battle for control across contested territory. Fireteams take on high-risk assignments using powerful abilities to rain down airstrikes, deploy turrets, call in the Imperium Behemoth, and other game changing combat abilities to turn the tide.

    New Dungeon
    Join forces with Aunor Mahal in a new three-player dungeon to hunt down the acolytes of Dredgen Bael and face deadly defenses in an off-planet dungeon that will challenge even veteran fireteams. Complete the pursuit and forge your own Praxic Blade, a powerful weapon infused by both Light and Dark.

    I’m not totally sold on the melding of universes that Renegades aims for, but I think the expansion as a whole offers many hours of satisfying exploration, build-crafting, and new rewards to discover. This isn’t the fundamental reinvention of Destiny that many fans seem eager for, but as a creative twist on expectation, it offers plenty of good times.

    Renegades does a good job of bringing some fun back to Destiny 2 with some great campaign missions and new hub area. The Star Wars elements are close enough for you to spot the homage, but not so conspicuous as to pull you out the world of Destiny. Enjoyable while it lasts, but Bungie still need to do a lot more work to rescue the game as whole.

    Not the revolution needed, Renegades still is a solid DLC. Both Destiny and Star Wars are artistically respected and Guardians' new toys, especially the Praxic Blade, fit nicely in Bungie's universe. More Destiny if you want some, let's hope 2026 shakes the formula a bit more.

    Destiny 2: Renegades is the definitive Star Wars homage within Destiny. Whether or not you think Destiny needed an homage to Star Wars in the form of an expansion is up to you.

    What hurts Destiny 2: Renegades the most is that it is just an Episode masquerading as an Expansion. There are no new Strikes, Crucible maps, Gambit maps, and for the first time ever in any $40 expansion, no new Patrol Zone and no new Raid. On top of that, some of the most desirable loot, including the White and Purple lightsaber crystals, are held ransom in the Eververse Store. As Kylo Ren once said, "it's time to let old things die," and it's hard not to think that about Destiny 2 after The Edge of Fate and Renegades. After 2025, it's time for Bungie to take a break, regroup and finally release Destiny 3.
