The first Destiny 2 clan to complete The Final Shape’s raid has unlocked a final mission for all Guardians to close out the sci-fi shooter’s expansive story.
It took the Parabellum clan 19 hours to work their way through Salvation’s Edge – and what a triumph it was – but the bigger surprise was that as the cut-scenes played out the end of Destiny’s epic decade, a hitherto secret mission became available to all players, regardless of whether or not they’d gotten through the raid themselves.
The mission – called Excision – accommodates 12 players in a stunning crescendo that’s sure to squeeze even the steeliest Guardian heart.
UPDATE: We’ve seen a dramatic decrease in BAT errors and believe that has been resolved.
As we continue investigating the loading issue, we recommend that players launch into the Narrative version of Excision with no more than 6 total fireteam members for the full experience. https://t.co/jXlw6aa3PZ

News of the secret mission spread quickly, though, triggering a number of “BAT” errors related to “players in fireteams being unable to view all cutscenes upon completion of the Excision activity”. Consequently, Bungie advised players to participate in the activity solo, and suggested that anyone who missed the cutscenes could rewatch them in the narrative version of Excision.
