The Dawning is back again and comes with the usual wide selection of cookies to bake and give to the various Destiny 2 characters across the universe, including Ikora and Lord Shaxx.
It’s worth noting this is the first Dawning event since Bungie removed entire planets and put them into the Destiny Content Vault. This means the cookies previously reserved for Sloan in Titan, Asher Mir in IO, etc, won’t be returning.
In their place, new cookies for Shaw Han and Variks have appeared.
In any case, this post covers every single Cookie recipe for this year’s Dawning, the ingredients you will need, and the rewards.

Destiny 2 Dawning 2020 rewards
And finally, the rewards. For as much as we love to spread joy (and cookies!) throughout the universe, we also want some cool new loot!
This time around, the Dawning event is not limited to the same old weapons and sparrows from previous events. Dawning 2020 also includes a brand-new weapon: The Glacioclasm Fusion Rifle.
And a brand-new Exotic Ship that you can customize:
Generate Dawning Spirit to unlock your ship’s aesthetic delights, including three selectable engine effects, a unique transmat effect, an animated shader that’s as unique as the ship itself, and more!
Finally, the Dawning also comes with a great-looking new armor set that can be either purchased with Silver or Bright Dust in the Eververse store (sorry, you can’t earn this directly in-game):
Happy Dawning!
