Season of the Drifter (also known as Season of the Drifter) is the sixth season of Destiny 2 and the second seasonal content of the Forsaken Annual Pass, which began March 5th, 2019 and ended on June 4th, 2019. This season focuses on the Drifter as he unveils a new mode of Gambit much to the controversy of the Vanguard and doing so splits the loyalty of Guardians between him and them; all while the mysterious Emissary of the Nine reveal visions to the Guardians.

Description

"For the next season of Destiny, the Drifter takes center stage with new rewards for every Guardian to add to their collections. For owners of the Annual Pass, he has new tricks up his sleeve for players of every fighting style and combat specialty."

New Activity: GAMBIT PRIME

"This little game we call Gambit has evolved. This is where you prove you’re a Gambit veteran! Choose a specific combat role and build a new armor set with perks that will change the game. With only one round to choose the winner, teamwork will be king."

New PVE Activity: THE RECKONING

"Winning a round of Gambit Prime is just the beginning. The Drifter has a whole new extension of the Destiny endgame. Take your rewards and risk them in a new challenge that belongs to the Nine. Confront swarms of enemies to unlock greater rewards that you can take with you into battle."

NEW WEAPONS & ARMOR

"Annual Pass content in Season of the Drifter provides a new path to earn some of the best gear in the game. Build a loadout that compliments the way you like to fight. Master a combat role that will make you irreplaceable on a Gambit Prime team."

Trivia

• Joker's Wild is the first expansion that doesn't focus on any of the main enemies in the Destiny series. Instead it focuses on the Drifter and his Gambit.
