Destiny 2's First Prestige Raid Now Live

Featuring stronger enemies and "minimal" mechanical changes.

Destiny 2's Leviathan Prestige Raid is now live on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

"The Prestige Raid is now live. Good luck! We will be watching," Bungie said in a post on Twitter.

Announced earlier this month, the more difficult version of Destiny 2's first Raid introduces tougher enemies, as well as "minimal" mechanical changes to encounters. As Bungie previously noted on its website, due to the Raid's heightened difficulty, it doesn't "expect everyone to be successful."

The Prestige Raid carries with it a recommended Power level of 300 and is intended to be more of a challenge than a "boon to your character progression." However, those who are able to conquer the Raid will earn "unique rewards."

Last week, Bungie delayed the Raid's release following the discovery of an exploit that caused "encounters to be stripped of their intended challenge."
