Bungie has revealed all the items that will be disabled during Destiny 2’s upcoming Desert Perpetual Epic Raid race.
The Epic version of Destiny 2’s Desert Perpetual is almost here. Bungie’s hosting the World First event on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at 10 AM PT, with a pre-show on the Bungie Twitch channel. Just like other ones before it, this will kick off a 48-hour Contest Mode where everyone’s Power is capped. Bungie has confirmed that the minimum Power level required for Contest Mode in the Desert Perpetual Epic raid is 300.
From this Epic raid, players can expect new Legendary weapons, the Wayward Psyche armor set with new armor set bonuses, plus raid emblems for Contest and standard completions. There’s also the Whirling Ovation Exotic’s new catalyst that players will be able to unlock from the Epic raid.
Just like previous Contest Mode raids, some items are disabled for the duration. In this article, we’ll go over the complete list of disabled items during the Desert Perpetual Epic raid race.
