Arms Week: BOWS ONLY, Trials Fixes, Game2Give Updates + SGC Crimson Days | TWAS Ep. 136

Send us Fan Mail

First episode back after the holidays — and no, Destiny didn’t behave while we were gone. 😅

We break down the latest patch fixes (Trials solo queue lobby balancing, Lawless Frontier softlocks, progression bugs), talk Arms Week 3 (Bows) and what it’ll actually feel like in PvP, and get into the bigger question: how is a new player supposed to start Destiny in 2026 without getting walled by random ownership requirements?

Plus: Game2Give is rolling, Movie of the Week drama is popping off, and we officially announce SGC Crimson Days (bows only, no abilities, no exotics… you and your duo vs the world).
