Destiny 2: Warmind DLC – How To Get Started | Everything New You Need To Know

May 7, 2018 by Kevin Thielenhaus

See what’s new, what fan-requested features have been added and how to dive right in when the Warmind DLC for Destiny 2 goes live.

Warmind is the second (and completely standalone) expansion for Destiny 2 — and the DLC also kicks-off the Season 3 content coming for everyone, whether you own the add-ons or not.

The first thing you’ll want to do when diving into Warmind is experience the new singleplayer campaign. The campaign stars a returning Ana Bray as you delve into the War Minds — all-powerful AI with an important part in the history of Destiny. The AI Rasputin, and the nano-virus SIVA are all involved. You can’t just jump in if you’re totally new to Destiny 2 — there’s a few more steps you’ll have to take.

  • REQUIREMENTS: To start the new Warmind DLC singleplayer story content, you must…
    1. Have completing the main campaign story and unlocked the Tower.
    2. Be Power Level 260 — PL 310 is recommended. PL 260 is the lowest possible Power Level required to damage enemies. (The Warmind DLC is standalone, so it is possible to reach Level 25 through normal gameplay. Warmind increases the Level Cap to 30.)
  • How To Access The New Warmind Zone:
    • From the Director, cursor over the new Warmind icon. Like the Curse of Osiris icon, this will allow you to jump to the new story quests.
    • Before you can begin free roam, you’ll need to complete two story missions — the first is PL 310 recommended, the second is PL 320 recommended.
