Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost 2023 start and end dates and times
While it’s yet to be confirmed, I’m almost positive Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost willstart on Tuesday, June 27, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. MT / 12:00 p.m. CT / 1:00 p.m. ET. Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost willend on Tuesday, July 02, 2025, at the same time, which is 10:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. MT / 12:00 p.m. CT / 1:00 p.m. ET.
The reason I’m confident in those times and dates is in 2022, the Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost event went live on October 18 and ended on November 8, both at the weekly reset times. Knowing Bungie,they likely won’t change this.
All armor and masks in Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost 2023
Earlier this year, Destiny 2 players voted for which Festival of the Lost armor ornament they wanted and it was decided thatHunters and Titans will get the spider armor and Warlocks will get the beetle armor.
As a Warlock main, I’m happy we are getting the beetle armor, but as always, I’m jealous of the two spider armor sets Hunters and Titans are getting becauseI think they look really cool.

Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost 2023 masks
Besides the unique armor ornaments, Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost will, of course, featurecollectible masks. We’ll start by getting the Masquerader’s Helmet and then we’ll be able to equip mask ornaments to dress up for Halloween. You’ll be able to equip masks from previous years, earn extra candy, and look really cool.
I can’t wait to see what masks Bungie has planned for Festival of the Lost 2023. It’s been leaked that there will bea Calus mask, Tormentor mask, Mara Sov mask, Nimbus mask, Pouka mask, Clovis Bray mask, Disciple mask, and the Good Boy mask. I’m excited about the Pouka and Good Boy masks.
All weapons in Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost
Thanks to the announcement in the latest TWID, we know that the new weapon introduced in Festival of the Lost 2023 is a Heavy Voice Grenade Launcher calledAcosmic.
On light.gg, a credible data source for all things Destiny 2, the new weapon coming in Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost is a Heavy Void Grenade Launcher with a Rapid-Fire Frame called Acosmic. Acosmic GSP actually comes withsome pretty nice perks. Here are what the perks could be for Acosmic GSP:
Personally, I’m not too excited for Acosmic because I have a crafted Regnant that basically does the same thing but better. Also,none of the Festival of the Lost weapons are craftable, so you’ll need to pray to the RNG gods to get a good Acosmic roll.
If you don’t have a good Void Grenade Launcher,Acosmic isn’t bad. I think Impulse Amplifier or Quickdraw are the best perks for the first slot and Destabilizing Rounds, Explosive Light, or Repulsor Brace are the best perks for the second slot.
I’m looking forward to the Legend Haunted Sectors as I think that will bea fun way to spice up Destiny 2 as Season of the Witch comes to a close. Eerie Engrams are gonna be fun but I wish Bungie would unlock all old Exotics already since the ones locked behind past expansions are the only ones I’m missing.
