Unlike the other world-first races before it, Vesper’s Host is a dungeon, meaning a fireteam of up to three can enter. This is completely different from regular raids, which normally allow up to six.

Because of this, it means we’ll see different teams be formed than the usual ones we’re used to seeing.

Vesper’s Host will be the first dungeon ever to have a contest mode on launch.

Contest mode is also active during the first 48 hours, capping fireteams at a certain light level below the recommended. This mode will be lifted once three teams have cleared the dungeon.

Racers will need to loot the final chest of the dungeon for it to count as a completion. Similarly, at least one fireteam member must have completed and received loot from every encounter, and it must be the first time completing the dungeon for all members of the fireteam for it to count as a valid entry.
