In Season 17, a new week in Destiny 2 starts today and it is already casting its infectious shadows ahead. As players observe strange changes in the air, they must uncover the dark secret of a Cabal Empress. MeinMMO has equipped itself with anti-spore spray and reveals what awaits you this week.
This is happening this week: Having already “transformed” Crow’s and Zavala’s nightmare into the ongoing storyline in Destiny 2, Ghaul, the nightmare of the Cabal Empress Caiatl, may be in store for them this week.
Caiatl is currently trying to maintain the blockade around Calus Leviathan with her ships while she waits for his next move. She is hellbent on finding her father and putting an end to him once and for all – but more and more of her army’s cabal are defecting to him. At the moment it is not clear where Calus is exactly. Has he merged with the transformed Leviathan, or is he hiding in the understructure of his once opulent battleship?
But as if that wasn’t enough, a menacing infection also appears to be afoot. The Empress’s troops not only defect, but also appear to be infected with the mysterious Egregor Spores of Darkness. Strange particles have been buzzing through the air on the HELM, the vanguard’s operations center, for a week now. Does this change your mind?
Are not only the Cabal but even the Guardians already infected? While players may find that out soon, of course, there’s more Destiny 2 activity to look forward to this week as well.
The most important information about activities from 21.06. until 28.06.

What do you think? Do you think Caiatl will hold his ground and break free from the Ghauls shadow of a better leader once and for all? And what about our disinfection shower? Has the containment of Eris Morn in the Vanguard Base of Operations failed and the Guardians and Cabal are already infected with the Spores? What do you think?
