Will there be a day one run? Yes, there will also be a day-one run for the “Root of Nightmares” raid and this will be held in the form of the contest mode.
Bosses also become veritable sponges that can easily take massive damage. Basically, it’s a nightmarish version of the affected raid that will have Guardians gritting their teeth for hours.
After the contest mode, the players who successfully survive and complete the raid first will be rewarded with a prestigious championship belt.
Everyone else who was slower but still complete the raid in the Competitive mode timeframe will receive an exclusive Raid Emblem that can also only be earned within the first 48 hours.
What should I put attention on? It is not yet clear which weapons, Exos and equipment you should take with you. Despite this, upcoming patch notes have made it clear what you should keep an eye on:
Nevertheless, the rule applies in every day-one raid: Take everything that could be useful with you, because you never know when you might need these items. Also, the changing conditions in armor builds could make changes necessary in the week leading up to the raid, which should be planned for.

Where will the raid take place? Nothing further is known about the new raid, apart from the start time and the name “Root of Nightmares”. Despite this, there are many theories about the raid and where it should take place. Sounds most plausible:
The Destiny community is already speculating whether these are Dark Dreams and whether the old “Galaxy Pools” could be revived. But that’s just theory at the moment.
The raid in the traveler comes from a theory that fans had also put together (via reddit.com). However, Bungie describes the situation surrounding the new raid in the following words:
A terrifying being from an unknown time and place has made its presence felt. We must now confront the ancient menace that grows at the gates of our homeland.

In the official description, Bungie speaks of the “gates of home”. These gates could mean the last city and home is thus the traveler who had given many guardians another life through his powers. Guardians essentially have the last city as their only home, as they exist solely to protect the last of humanity and fight against the darkness.
But despite all the speculation: which creature is the opponent is actually still unknown. Fact doesn’t matter which way you look at it, though, there’s plenty of room for interpretation on this topic for Guardians to share. But that’s exactly what makes it all the more exciting for all players who will be the first to explore the raid on March 10th.
