Ritual activities are refreshed following the weekly reset, every Tuesday.

They are all different types of modes that Destiny 2 offers, with Vanguard being PvE, Crucible being PvP, and Gambit being PvE. You’ll find them in the orbit menu, at the top of the Destination tab.

Each of these activities has a dedicated vendor as well — Zavala, Shaxx, and Drifter. They can be found in the Tower, and provide repeatable daily and weekly bounties that will help level up Season Pass, as well as their own vendor level. Leveling up their respective ranks nets you rewards like Ascendant Shards
