{{Article quote|Deep within the Vex Network lies the power to extinguish Humanity once and for all.}}
'''Season of the Splicer''' was the fourteenth season of ''[[Destiny 2]]'' and the third seasonal content of ''[[Beyond Light]]'', releasing on May 11th, 2021 and concluding on August 24, 2021. 

This season, [[Ikora Rey]], [[Osiris]], [[Saint-14]] and the [[Vanguard]] form an unlikely alliance with [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]] and his [[House of Light]] to stop a [[Vex]] [[Endless Night|simulation]] from engulfing the [[Last City]]; to which Guardians must master the abilities of the [[Splicers|Splicer]], delve into the virtual domain of the [[Vex Network]], and destroy the [[Quria, Blade Transform|Vex mind]] responsible at its heart. Meanwhile, a hidden [[Future War Cult|conspiracy]] runs afoot within the City that threatens the leadership of the Vanguard and puts their new alliance in jeopardy.  

==Description==
'''Story: An Endless Night'''<br>
{{quote|The [[Vex]] have plunged the [[Last City]] into an endless night, threatening the safety once found beneath the watchful presence of the [[Traveler]]. It is here, bathed in perpetual moonlight, that [[Ikora]] reveals the identity of an unlikely ally that may hold the keys to triumphing over this attack.}}

'''Story: Allies Bound by Light'''<br>
{{quote|[[Mithrax]], [[Kell]] of the [[House of Light]], leads a small group of [[Eliksni]] who wish to be closer to the [[Traveler]]. As a Sacred [[Splicer]], he possesses the knowledge needed to combat the Vex technology that ensnares the Last City. There is a bond of [[Light]] shared here… will it be enough?}}

'''HELM_upgrade.exe'''<br>
{{quote|A new chamber overlooking the loading bay has been completed. It is here that the Vanguard will harness new Splicer tech and plan their response to the Vex incursion.}}

'''Activites: Way of the Splicer'''<br>
{{quote|'''6-Player Matchmade Activity: [[Override]]'''<br>Fireteams of six will use Splicer tech to hack the Vex Network. Uncover their secrets, steal their code, and user their power against them.}}
{{quote|'''Weekly Mission: [[Expunge]]'''<br>Each week, Guardians will uncover new vulnerabilities within the Vex Network and use Splicer Keys to infiltrate and collapse it from within.}}

'''Raid: [[Vault of Glass (raid)|Vault of Glass]]'''<br>
{{quote|'''The time lost Raid returns.'''<br>Stored away, deep in the Vault of Glass on Venus is [[Atheon, Time's Conflux]]. No one knows what this Vex is. Guardians must access the Vault, navigate the fractures in space and time, and terminate Atheon before it can become an unstoppable threat.}}<br>

'''Tech: Armor Synthesis'''<br>
{{quote|'''Grow your collection among the stars and forge your look in the Last City'''.<br>Every journey and every Guardian is unique. Your armor should be too.}}<br>
{{quote|'''With the help of [[Ada-1]],''' Guardians will recover [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Braytech]] secrets from [[Europa]] that allow the building of a device known as the Loom.}}<br>
{{quote|'''Once operational,''' Ada-1 will safeguard the Loom within the Tower, granting Guardians the ability to create Synthweave.}}<br>
{{quote|'''Synthweave''' unlocks the power to turn almost any piece of armor into a Universal Ornament.}}

'''Gear: Armaments'''<br>
{{quote|'''[[Vex Mythoclast]]'''<br>A Vex instrument from some far corner of time and space. Its origins and purpose remain unknown. Perhaps it will reveal itself to you, in time...}}<br>
{{quote|'''00110111'''<br>Over 30 new and reprised Legendary weapons to crash the Vex Network with. Find the perfect weapon, the perfect roll, and bring an end to this endless night.}}<br>
{{quote|'''[[Star-Eater Scales]]'''<br>Allows [[Hunter]]s to feast upon [[Orb of Light|Orbs of Power]], charging their [[Super]] more quickly and making it more potent.}}<br>
{{quote|'''[[The Path of Burning Steps]]'''<br>[[Titan (class)|Titan]] armor that converts [[Solar]] eliminations into increased weapon damage and makes them more difficult to lock down with [[Stasis]].}}<br>
{{quote|'''[[Boots of the Assembler]]'''<br>Condenses a [[Warlock]] rifts' healing or empowering energy into projectiles that seek out their allies to bless them with noble benefits.}}

'''Gear: Season Pass'''<br>
{{quote|'''Gear, XP, rewards!''' Get the Season Pass and instantly unlock the new Exotic Stasis Sidearm. Also get XP boosts that speed up Seasonal ranks and reward track unlocks.}}<br>
{{quote|'''Exotic Stasis Sidearm'''<br>As a token of friendship, Mithrax bestows Guardians with [[Cryosthesia 77K]], a Stasis-powered Sidearm with Liquid Cooling tech.}}<br>
{{quote|'''[[Splicer Gauntlet]]'''<br>Sacred Splicer tech that can be charged with Ether and used to hack the Vex Network, access Conflux Chests, and unlock Splicer upgrades.}}<br>
{{quote|'''Universal Ornaments'''<br>Unlock the new Season of the Splicer Universal Ornaments and augment the look of any piece of armor in your collection.}}<ref name"SotS">'''[[Bungie]]''' - [https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Seasons/SeasonOfTheSplicer Season of the Splicer]</ref>
