Destiny 2 downtime means players have less than a week to wrap up any outstanding Year 5 seasonal content, as the FPS game is set to go offline for 24 hours before the Destiny 2 Lightfall release date. This means Guardians looking to catch up on Destiny 2 story content, finalise seasonal exotic quests, and farm for god rolls of seasonal weapons should note that they have until 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm UTC on Monday, February 27, to do so before the game goes dark for a full day.
