Update: Saltagreppo and Clan Elysium have claimed the Crota's End World First raid race belt!
If you're interested in keeping tabs on the Destiny 2 Crota's End World's First raid race, then you're in the right place! Raid races are some of the most exciting times to be a D2 fan, and for good reason.
Fans gather around their favourite content creator's stream and watch them challenge the latest raid. Previously, these events featured brand-new content; however, Bungie started re-incorporating raids from Destiny 1, lessening the content drought in the process.
Crota's End, the second-ever Destiny raid in franchise history, is returning during Season of the Witch. Naturally, fans are excited to see what changes Bungie made to a piece of endgame content originally released in 2014.
So if you want to know how to catch all the action of the Crota's End raid race, we've got you covered!

3:03 PM PDT/11:03 PM GMT | Saltagreppo is close to doing it again! His team is the first to reach Crota on Challenge Mode. They need to figure out the unique mechanic and they can claim a fourth |

1:13 PM PDT/9:13 PM GMT | Saltagreppo's team has taken down Crota! Remember that they need to do it again with Challenge Mode enabled but they are way ahead of the rest of the teams now. |
12:43 PM PDT/8:43 PM GMT | Back with another update! More teams have made it to Crota but it seems like a heavy DPS check. Might be a key mechanic missing to do proper damage it seems. |
11:58 AM PDT/7:58 PM GMT | As a reminder, beating Crota will not be enough, as players need to do another run in Challenge mode to claim World's First title. |
