The highly anticipated Episode Heresy is just around the corner, set to launch on February 4, 2025. With this episode comes the return of the iconic Dreadnaught, one of Destiny’s most memorable locations, bringing back old mysteries and new activities for players.
Among the fresh content is the brand-new dungeon, Sundered Doctrine, which takes players back to the Rhulk’s Pyramid Ship in Savathun’s Throne World. In this article, we’ll talk about everything we know about this new dungeon, from its launch schedule to Contest Mode, Power Level requirements, and more.
Destiny 2 Sundered Doctrine Dungeon Start Date and Time

The dungeon will be available in Contest Mode for the first 48 hours. Check out the details for it below.
Destiny 2 Sundered Doctrine Dungeon Race and Contest Mode Details
Similar to the Vesper’s Host dungeon in Destiny 2, Sundered Doctrine will also feature a full-fledged dungeon race. And so, for the first 48 hours after launch, the dungeon will feature Contest Mode, starting on Friday, February 7 at 9 AM PT, and ending on Sunday, February 9, at 9 AM PT.
During this window, enemies are tougher, making encounters more intense and requiring precise strategy and communication. Resurrection Tokens will limit the number of revives available during encounters and enrage mechanics will restrict the amount of time or phases players have to complete the encounter.
Keep in mind that all fireteam members must own The Final Shape Dungeon Key and acquire The Drowning Labyrinth quest before entering the dungeon. Bungie has confirmed that completing the dungeon during Contest Mode will unlock a new exclusive emblem as well as a guaranteed drop of the new dungeon Exotic weapon.
Players can also unlock the new “Trigonic Amber” by watching the DungeonZone hosted by Destiny 2 content creators evanf1997 and cbgray. This emblem will be available via Twitch Drops.
Bungie has also revealed the first-ever trophy for the Dungeon race in Destiny 2. Here’s a preview of it:
Destiny 2 Sundered Doctrine Contest Mode Power Level
For Sundered Doctrine, you’ll need to hit a power level of 1995 to meet the cap for Contest Mode. This means any power you earn above 1995 won’t give you an advantage during this period. Make sure you’ve got your best gear ready and optimized for your fireteam’s strategy.
Destiny 2 Sundered Doctrine Exotic Weapon and Armor
Right now, Bungie hasn’t shared details about the exotic weapon or new armor tied to this dungeon. If previous dungeons are anything to go by, these rewards are bound to be worth the effort.
We will update this section once more details are available.
Episode Heresy launches in just a few days, and the excitement for Sundered Doctrine’s dungeon race is real. In related news, Bungie has recently confirmed that the fan-favorite Wrath of the Machine isn’t coming to Destiny 2 anytime soon.
