Summary
Bungie providesDestiny 2players with an update to the Bake-Off Community Challenge during the Dawning, revealing a massive number of cookies that Commander Zavala has already eaten. This latest community challenge is new for The Dawning this year, pushingDestiny 2players to continue engaging with the event while fans wait for Act 3 to drop for Episode Revenant.
The Dawning inDestiny 2is the game’s holiday event, typically arriving in December and running through the New Year while Bungie employees are off on winter break. This year’s rendition is largely the same as it has been in the past, tasking players with collecting ingredients and baking cookies for the various NPCs throughout theDestiny 2universe. In return, players earn currency, items, weapons, and more. However, The Dawning 2024 does come with a unique challenge for players.

Prior to the start of The Dawning, Bungie announced a newDestiny 2Community Challenge, tasking players with baking specific treats for NPCs during each of the three weeks in order to unlock special rare emblems. Known as Confectionary Commander, Epicurean Extraordinaire, and Handcrafter Hunter, the three emblems feature the trio of Vanguard characters with unique colors and patterns. The more goals the community overcomes, the easier it will be to unlock these emblems from opening A Gift In Return.
Destiny 2 The Dawning Back Off Community Challenge Progress
The first week, which is now over, helped unlock the Confectionary Commander emblem and Bungie has revealed just how many cookies theDestiny 2NPC Commander Zavalahad to eat as the community worked together. As it turns out, players have handed well over 3 million Gjallardoodles to the Vanguard Commander. For the next few days, players will need to bake treats for Ikora, Eva Levante, and The Drifter to help unlock the Epicurean Extraordinaire emblem.
While the community smashed the goals for Week 1, they’ll have to wait a bit longer to see if the goal was met for round two.Destiny 2has entered a troublesome phase of its life as players continue to drop off the game for a variety of reasons, as many have seen the population on Steam plummet as of late. The drop has been attributed to a few different reasons, whether due to overall bordom, the downtime between acts, or the fact thatEpisode Revenant has seen a ton of bugs and issues. Either way, Bungie may have a bigger problem on its hands for the future of the game.
