Dungeon Contest Drama, Renegades Marketing Misfires & Why Destiny Feels Too Easy | TWAS Ep. 134

Episode 134 is a long one — dungeon contest mode, Renegades marketing confusion, crossplay invasion debates, disabled weapons outrage, and a brutally honest conversation about why Destiny 2 feels easier than it’s ever been.

We break down Bungie’s latest TWID, the Equilibrium dungeon contest, the Oath of the Renegades community event, and the constant tension between exclusivity, fairness, and fun.

This episode is Destiny discourse in its purest form.
