Destiny 2's Dawning Bake-Off: Over 3 Million Gjallardoodles Baked for Zavala!
Bungie's Dawning event in Destiny 2 featured a community challenge, rewarding players with rare emblems for baking treats. The initial goal, focused on baking for Commander Zavala, was massively exceeded, with players delivering over 3 million Gjallardoodles. This success unlocked the "Confectionary Commander" emblem.
The Dawning, Destiny 2's annual holiday event, tasks players with baking cookies for various NPCs. This year's event includes a three-week community challenge with unique emblems tied to baking goals for each week.
The first week's success, unlocking the "Confectionary Commander" emblem, showcased the community's dedication. However, the game's recent player decline presents a potential challenge for future events. This drop in player numbers, observed on platforms like Steam, might be attributed to player burnout, extended periods between content releases, or the numerous bugs reported in Episode Revenant. This trend poses a significant concern for Bungie moving forward. The community will be watching closely to see if the momentum continues into the second and third weeks of the challenge.
