Best of Year One Engram was a special Bright Engram variant available during Season of Opulence that contained cosmetic items from Destiny 2's first year. These engrams allowed players to obtain Eververse items they may have missed during Year One.
Contents
Overview
The Best of Year One Engram served as a curated collection of cosmetic items from Destiny 2's launch through Warmind. Unlike standard Bright Engrams that focused on current seasonal items, these engrams exclusively contained Year One Eververse content, providing newer players opportunities to collect older cosmetics while giving veterans chances at items they missed.
