It's that time of year again, when peculiar sightings are happening all over the system. Despite misgivings by Destiny 2's Vanguard, there are reports of strange headless creatures lurking in Haunted Sectors.
It's up to Guardians everywhere to fight the frights in Festival of the Lost!
Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost 2023 Start Date and Time
Destiny 2's iconic Halloween event, Festival of the Lost, begins on October 17, 2023, at 1pm ET. The event typically runs for several weeks, and with Halloween being on a reset day, it's likely that Festival of the Lost will run through November 7, 2023.
Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost 2023 Armor
In January 2023, Bungie sent out an email allowing Guardians to vote on this year's Festival of the Lost armor sets. This year, it's all about bugs and spiders. Rather than have players vote on a theme for all classes, votes are now class-specific.
A few weeks later, the results were in. 56% of Hunters voted for Team Spider. 72% of Titans also went Team Spider. Warlocks opted for Team Beetle, and I can't blame them. I'm a bit shocked that Hunters didn't go Team Beetle, as that would have possibly made for some cool glowing cloaks.

Eerie Engrams and Hocus Focusing
Eerie Engrams are a new item that's pulling double duty this year. Guardians can turn them into candy or use them for the new Hocus Focusing. Guardians can earn the Eerie Engrams by completing Haunted Sectors. Note that they aren't a guaranteed drop and that Legend Haunted Sectors have a higher chance of dropping the new engram.
This year's horrifying hullabaloo will be a great way for Guardians to farm Exotic armor in addition to the Festival of the Lost weapons. Guardians can funnel their resources into six different engram types, each with their own cost. Note that there are some important notes about Hocus Focusing.
- Players must own the expansion that the piece of Exotic armor is from in order for it to drop.
- Players do not need to have looted the Exotic before for it to drop during Festival of the Lost.
- Players will only earn Exotics for the class they're currently playing.

|---|---|---|
| Exotic Arms | 1 Eerie Engram | 2500 Candy |
| Exotic Legs | 1 Eerie Engram | 2500 Candy |
