Destiny 2’s spooky season has returned once again, just like the previous years you will be able to conquer haunted activities while trick or treating in masks and gathering candy. That is right Guardians! Festival of the Lost is back for 2023. Starting today with the weekly reset, the Festival of the Lost activity begins and runs through November 7th. During this free in-game event, players will don masks and collect treats by completing challenges in Haunted Sectors throughout the system. This year’s treats include the new Acosmic Legendary Grenade Launcher, community-chosen insect ornament sets, Eerie Engram drops, an extra layer of challenge (and loot) in Legend Haunted Sectors, and additional rewards available with the Festival of the Lost Event Card.
Guardians can complete Event Challenges while wearing their masks to earn tickets. Then they can upgrade their Event Card to spend those tickets for even more treats. This year, new matchmade Legend Haunted Sectors are available for those looking for a challenge and more rewards. Using Eerie Engrams earned in Haunted Sectors, Guardians can then use Hocus Focusing with Eva to conjure the specific event weapons they desire. The engrams can also be focused to drop Exotic armor from any Destiny 2 expansions players own. Eva has other treats for Guardians to earn during the event, too, including the all-black Festival of the Lost Memento for crafted weapons.
Eerie Engrams
There is a new type of Engram for 2023 and that is the Eerie Engram. These have two uses and players can open them individually for some treats or use them as currencies for Hocus Focusing. Eerie Engrams will have a chance to drop upon completion of Haunted Sectors. Legend Haunted Sectors will have a higher chance of dropping Eerie Engrams.
Hocus Focusing
Eva Levante will be your point person for Hocus Focusing. During the Festival of the Lost, Eva will talk about Carlos and Maria as usual but will also offer the opportunity to Guardians to acquire Exotic armor with four focusing categories in addition to the Legendary Weapons Eerie Engram focusing. Some notes about focusing – Players must own the expansion the armor is tied to in order for it to be eligible to drop, players do not have to have acquired the exotic before for it to be eligible to drop, players will only receive exotics for the class they are playing with (Titan, Warlock, Hunter). The categories are:
- Weapons Eerie Engram
- Festival weapons for a higher candy cost
- Exotic Arms Eerie Engram
- Exotic Legs Eerie Engram
- Exotic Helmet Eerie Engram
- Exotic Chest Eerie Engram

This year was the first time the Destiny 2 community was able to vote for each individual class armor ornament sets for the Festival. The winning sets were a spider theme for Hunters and Titans and a beetle theme for Warlocks. Players can catch these creepy-crawly ornaments at the Eververse store, to celebrate the spooky season in style.
