Destiny 2’s ongoing popularity as a live service game has cemented its status as a staple in the gaming community. With the release of the Lightfall DLC, players find themselves on the brink of an epic culmination known as The Final Shape.
One eagerly anticipated aspect of this new chapter is the introduction of the Salvation’s Edge raid. For seasoned players, raids are the pinnacle of Destiny 2’s endgame content, offering intense challenges and coveted rewards. As the community gears up for this latest raid, understanding how to access it is paramount.

To initiate the Salvation’s Edge raid, players must first fulfill certain prerequisites. These prerequisites include completing key milestones within the game:
- Finish The Final Shape Campaign: Players must embark on and successfully complete the main campaign storyline, titled The Final Shape. This narrative arc sets the stage for the events leading up to the raid and provides crucial context for players.
- Complete the Post-Campaign Quest, ‘Wild Card’: Following the conclusion of The Final Shape campaign, players are tasked with a post-campaign quest known as ‘Wild Card’. This quest likely serves as a bridge between the campaign’s conclusion and the commencement of the raid, offering additional story elements or challenges.
Bungie, the developer behind Destiny 2, emphasizes the importance of these prerequisites in ensuring a cohesive and immersive experience for players. Regardless of whether players opt for the challenging Contest mode within the first 48 hours of the raid’s release or prefer to wait for the Normal mode to unlock, completing the campaign and ‘Wild Card’ quest is essential.

The developers advise players to prioritize completing the campaign and quest to fully immerse themselves in the narrative trajectory of Destiny 2. By doing so, players can engage with the story in a linear fashion, experiencing the intended progression and buildup towards the raid.
