The Destiny 2 Crota's End World First race has ended, and now it's time to look at the stats from the reprised raid's first weekend. They show that Crota's End is by far the hardest of Destiny 2's reprised raids so far, with its Challenge mode also being the hardest Destiny 2 raid in four years based on how many people were able to get through it.
Destiny Raid Report posted the statistics from Crota's End's first 24 hours on Twitter, showing that approximately 4,000 players managed to complete the raid in Challenge mode, out of 350,000 attempts. With a success rate of just 1.189%, that makes Crota's End's Challenge Mode the most difficult Destiny 2 raid since Garden of Salvation in 2019.
Crota's End in Normal mode had a slightly higher success rate of 3.102% in the first 24 hours, with 10,000 of 350,000 players completing the raid successfully. This marks Crota's End as the most difficult reprised raid of Destiny 2 so far, with King's Fall having a Normal Mode clear rate of 14.318% and Vault of Glass seeing 8.857% of players succeed.

With the original Crota's End known as a relatively simple raid in Destiny 1, many players are enjoying the added challenge of Crota's return, especially for those who tackled the raid in Contest mode, which ended 48 hours after the raid launched. This higher difficulty comes after complaints from some that Lightfall's Root of Nightmares raid was too easy; its Contest mode was cleared by more players than ever.
The World's First race for Crota's End proved to be a nailbiter, with two teams finishing within 1 minute and 5 seconds of each other. The ultimate victors were Saltagreppo's Team Elysium, who finished Challenge mode in just under 6 hours to take home their fourth World First win, with their other belts including King's Fall, Vow of the Disciple, and Vault of Glass.

You may have heard about a little space game called Starfield, the gravitational pull from which risks swallowing all games discourse for months and possibly years to come. Perhaps that's no surprise for a game that's been in development and hyped for as long as any title that I can remember (well, ones that have shipped anyway) but it's easy to forget now the thing's in our hands that it was subject to multiple delays along the way.

Given that Destiny 2‘s Raids are its pinnacle-level content, featuring both mechanical and statistical difficulties, it is fairly self-evident that Raid bosses, too, ought to be equally impressive in more ways than not. Challenging, imposing, and memorable, Raid bosses are supposed to serve as the final obstacle to loot and other assorted goodies, but is that always the case? Or have some Raid bosses become overhyped Strike targets rather than top-end world-ending threats?
