This article is about the recurring event in Destiny 2. For the original event, see The Dawning (Rise of Iron).

The Dawning is an event that consists of players baking gifts with Eva's Holiday Oven and delivering them to characters across the Sol System, earning rewards like the Avalanche Machine Gun, the Cold Front Submachine Gun, the Glacioclasm Fusion Rifle, the Zephyr Sword , the Stay Frosty Pulse Rifle, the Albedo Wing Glaive, and the Mistral Lift Linear Fusion Rifle.

Gifts

To bake gifts using Eva's Holiday Oven players must gather ingredients and Essence of Dawning. Essence of Dawning is earned by completing activities around the system and completing Dawning bounties from Eva Levante. Ingredients are earned by killing certain types of enemies and getting kills with certain damage types, weapon archetypes, and abilities.

Each gift in addition to the ingredients listed below requires Essence of Dawning. All recipes require 15 Essence of Dawning, though it can be reduced to 10 Essence of Dawning if all recipes are discovered to be able to then masterwork the oven.

Trivia

• The Thousand Layer cookie that players give to Riven during this event uses the Delicious Explosion ingredient, most likely because a popular way to kill Riven is by firing a massive amount of projectiles from Rocket Launchers, and Grenade Launchers into her mouth.
