Bungie went into more detail about what precisely will be disappearing from Destiny 2 later this year, when the studio begins vaulting content for the the first time in game’s history and…it’s a lot. The base game’s main campaign will all but disappear and most of its existing free-to-play content along with it.

The Destiny Content Vault (DCV) was first announced back in June during a livestream where Bungie laid out its plans for the future of Destiny 2. Those included cycling old content out of the game every so often as new stuff is added and legacy strikes, maps, and raids from Destiny 1 are brought back. The studio made clear that about half of Destiny 2's locations would leave when the Beyond Light expansion launches November 10, but now we have a much clearer picture of just how much content will be affected, thanks to a new blog post, and the consequences are pretty wide-reaching. Here’s the full list of what Destiny’s losing later this year:
Narratives
The Red War Curse of Osiris Warmind Season of the Forge Season of the Drifter Season of Opulence

Also leaving are all of the strike missions and planetary vendors associated with each of the departing destinations. And while many of the exotic weapons for the quests being vaulted will be available through a special new kiosk, exotic weapons Outbreak Perfected, Whisper of the Worm, Worldline Zero, and Legend of Acrius will all be gone for the foreseeable future.
As someone who’s poured hundreds of hours into Destiny 2 since it launched in 2017, vaulting feels like a bittersweet goodbye. For newer players the experience of the game is changing forever on November 10, and there won’t be any way to go back and experience Destiny 2 in its entirety. It’s also unclear what exactly the new Destiny 2's free-to-play experience will consist of.
