'Destiny 2' Crimson Days 2020

Destiny 2's Crimson Days event returns from February 11 through February 18, and we're here to recap the key details you should know to make the most of its key rewards, including the Vow. Want to get lots of Confectionery Hearts quickly? These tips should help.

How to start Crimson Days in Destiny 2

To get started, visit Tess Everis in the Tower to get a Crimson Days Engram. This essentially allows players to get one free Crimson Days cosmetic just for logging in.

The bulk of the Crimson Days action, though, will be handled by Shaxx. He'll offer you Confectionery Hearts for competing in Crimson Doubles PvP matches and also has duo-centric PvE Bounties available for those who don't feel comfortable battling against human opponents. Complete enough of these Bounties, and you'll earn Confectionery Hearts, Bright Dust and even Double XP.

How to get Confectionery Hearts in Crimson Days 2020

While the Crimson Days formula appears mostly the same, it looks like the systems have changed slightly with the introduction of these new Bounties from Shaxx. There are essentially two ways to get Confectionery Hearts during Crimson Days 2020.

Crimson Doubles: Seven hearts per win, five per loss
Shaxx Daily Bounty: About 15 Confectionery Hearts each
Shaxx Weekly Bounty: Complete enough Daily Bounties to get about 75 Hearts from the Weekly Bounty.
You may also have spare Confectionery Hearts from previous years. Those can also be used in 2020.

What is Crimson Doubles?

If you're new to Destiny 2, you might not have heard about the majesty of Crimson Doubles before. With that in mind, here's a recap of the rules.

Destiny 2 Crimson Days 2020 Rewards

Bungie has been a bit coy about the rewards on offer for Crimson Days 2020, which suggests the cosmetics and featured weapon will likely be similar to those of previous years. The developer has, however, made a point to highlight the new SVC-12 and IVC-10 Exotic Sparrows. Get both Sparrows, and you'll earn a unique Emblem. If that's not enough, Warmhearted Gift packages return and can be bought with Confectionery Hearts for a chance at yielding Legendary loot.
