With the meat of Destiny 2: Black Armory behind us, Destiny 2 is currently in a bit of an intermission. Ahead of the next major annual pass DLC - Joker's Wild - players have Crimson Days, a Valentine's Day-themed Crucible event, to look forward to. It kicks off Tuesday, February 12 and runs through February 19. As always, the love-is-war-style event is about playing 2v2 matches in the Crucible, but this year's Crimson Days shakes things up in a few interesting ways.
The playlist this year is 2v2 Clash, but with a few unique rules added in. As long as you stick close to your partner, your abilities will recharge faster.

Last year, you had to complete specific challenges to get certain items. That process has been streamlined for 2019: now you just need to earn Confectionery Hearts by completing bounties and Crucible matches. Winning a match gets you seven hearts, losing gets you five, and daily and weekly bounties will award 15 and 75 respectively. You can spend these Hearts on the items Shaxx is selling, which include:
- Tirastrella Legendary Ghost Shell - 25 hearts
- Undeterred Exotic sparrow - 50 hearts
- The Vow Legendary bow - 100 hearts
- Wardcliff Coil Dieselpunk ornament - 125 hearts
- Flaunting Dance Legendary emote - 150 hearts
- Warmhearted Gift Package - 15 hearts
Many of these items were also available in the previous Crimson Days event. Notable newcomers include The Vow, the first bow available to non-Forsaken players, and the Warmhearted Gift Package, which can contain enhancement cores and mods among other things. Apart from Shaxx's loot pool, you'll also have access to all the items in the event's Crimson Engrams, which will drop alongside - not in place of - normal Bright Engrams. Note that the Tiny Bow emote and the ornament for The Vow are exclusive to Eververse and must be purchased. Finally, you can complete all the event triumphs available for Crimson Days to earn this chocolate Ghost shell:
