The new Destiny 2 raid that comes as part of The Witch Queen expansion, Vow of the Disciple, is officially starting very soon. You'll be able to play it beginning March 5, and as with most Destiny 2 content, there will be a race to earn the World First title and the perks that come with it. Here's what you need to know about the raid, including when it starts.

As is standard, there will be limitations set in place--beyond the Exotics and weapon perks that have recently been disabled due to various issues that could break the raid's encounters, Contest Mode will also be active. That will cap all players to 20 power below the recommendation for each encounter (somewhat similar to one of the ways Witch Queen's legendary campaign increases the difficulty). During this time, Artifacts will not contribute to players' power level.

(You can get tips on how to reach that point with our Witch Queen leveling guide.)
