BecauseDestiny 2is a live service game that’s been around for over four years now, it doesn’t come as a surprise that it also sports a very large file size. Since the release ofBeyond Light, Bungie started cycling content into the Destiny Content Vault, which includes destinations and activities from bothDestinyandDestiny 2. With the upcoming release of The Witch Queen expansion, more locations, quests, vendors, and activities will be vaulted to make room for all the new things coming to the game.
When Bungie announced what would be moved to the Destiny Content Vault in Year 5, alongside the release of The Witch Queen, some players assumed it was simply going to be the Tangled Shore as a location and the Forsaken campaign. However, the developer recently released a detailed guide that states every thing that will be vaulted inDestiny 2, including elements that players didn’t think would be gone, such aseverything in the HELM. There are also items that will be deprecated as a result of the vaulting process, meaning that they will be automatically removed from players' inventories at the start of Year 5, making them worth being consumed before February.

As for the destinations to be vaulted, the Tangled Shore will be removed entirely from the game, including all of its Lost Sectors and activities, such as Baron Hunts, Public Events, the Broodhold Strike, and The Hollowed Lair Strike. The remaining Strike, called Warden of Nothing, will not be vaulted and will instead be moved to the Legends section of the in-game destinations, whereDestiny 2players can currently access the Vault of Glass Raid. While Season of the Chosen’s Glykon is not directly found in the Tangled Shore, but rather orbiting above it, the ship and thePresage mission will be vaultedas well.
All other seasonal activities and locations are also being vaulted, which means that everything from Season of the Hunt, Season of the Chosen, Season of the Splicer, andSeason of the Lostwill be gone for good. This includes:
It’s worth noting that all of the exclusive gear found in these activities, likeHawkmoonand Dead Man’s Tale will either be vaulted or become available through other means. Battlegrounds from Season of the Chosen will not be removed from the game, and instead, they will be added to the Strike playlist, which will go by the name of Vanguard Operations moving forward.
The entirety ofthe Forsaken campaignwill be vaulted, which also means that other items will become unobtainable as a result, such as:

SomeDestiny 2questswill also be vaulted, and their rewards might either be vaulted as well or become available from other sources. The list is as follows:
Because some locations and seasonal content are being vaulted withThe Witch Queen, the result is that a few vendors will be unavailable moving forward. The list is as follows:
Some items will be removed from the game and from all players' inventories as soon asDestiny 2’s Year 5beings, and they include:
Overall, a lot of things won’t be in the game any longer, and players who care about Triumphs, collections, and unique items should try and get everythingbefore The Witch Queen drops. This means that visiting the Tangled Shore or seasonal activities might be a good idea ifDestiny 2players discover they are missing something from this list, which they can check in the Collections and Triumphs tabs. It’s unclear whether everything will still be accessible through the Monument to Lost Lights, and some things — like emblems and Legendary items — might go away forever.
Destiny 2is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
