More specifically, following the weekly reset that will occur later today, January 21, players will be able to obtain Destiny 2’s Bastion quest directly from Saint-14 without running through the Corridors of Time at all. This information was confirmed by Bungie yesterday on its official Twitter account, and the developer has provided some additional details on the situation.

Namely, Bungie indicates that the Bastion quest is being unlocked alongside today’s reset specifically because the Corridors of Time puzzle has been solved, and this detail seems to suggest that the community has completed this sizable task more quickly than anticipated. Indeed, the Season of Dawn roadmap states that the Bastion exotic quest would not unlock until next Tuesday, January 28, which implies that Bungie did not expect players to finish the puzzle before today’s reset.
After all, Bungie did say that the Corridors of Time puzzle is a “marathon,” and it would thus not be surprising if the Destiny 2 developer anticipated the solution to come later than it did. While deviating from the roadmap by moving the release date of the Bastion quest may cause some slight confusion within the community, that approach may be better than forcing players to wait another week before they can obtain the quest directly from Saint-14.
Of course, players could simply continue running through the solved Corridors of Time in order to access the Bastion exotic quest, as fans have been doing since the puzzle was solved, and some in the community believe that doing so should be requisite. These players suggest that removing that requirement means that all the work surrounding the puzzle was pointless, though those that put effort into the Corridors of Time may at least be happy to know that they exceeded Bungie’s expectations.
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
