Love in your sights: Crimson Days 2020 guide

Crimson Days, Destiny’s Valentine’s Day-themed holiday, is back again this year, running from February 11th through the 18th. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic with an eye for love, or a cynic who thinks Valentine’s Day is a holiday invented to sell chocolates and greeting cards, you can find the partner of your dreams or work out your frustrations in the standard Guardian way: killing each other repeatedly.

The event is pretty similar to last year’s, but there are some new rewards to unlock in addition to various returning items if you missed out on them before. Here’s a brief guide to the event, covering Crimson Doubles, loot, and Triumphs.

Quick Tip: How to get into the Corridors of Time, post-patch

On Tuesday, patch 2.7.1 was released for Destiny 2. While it had the unintended side effect of severely messing with players’ inventories, to the extent of Bungie performing their first-ever character rollback, an intended change was the removal of access to the Corridors of Time, the puzzle event that started on January 14th and was solved a few days later. Any player who didn’t run through it for the emblem and lore book before Tuesday sadly missed out.

However, a glitch has been discovered that enables players to access the Corridors again, provided you have at least one character that hasn’t rescued Saint-14 yet. The glitch is pretty simple, and you can use it to get both the emblem and the complete Pigeon and the Phoenix lore book.
