'''Crimson Days''' was a limited time [[Events|event]] held in the [[Tower]], coinciding with [[wikipedia:Valentine's Day|Valentine's Day]]. The event was first debuted in 2016, returning for ''[[Destiny 2]]'' in 2018. [[Shaxx]] serves as the official [[vendors|vendor]] for Crimson Days in honor of the [[Crimson Bonds]] of love and friendship forged between [[Guardian]]s in the [[Crucible]].

Crimson Days was retired in 2020 in order to make room for the [[wikipedia:Olympic Games|Olympics]] themed event, [[Guardian Games]].

==Overview==
{{Quote|With proper tactics and proper execution, a Fireteam of two Guardians can fight indefinitely. The Crimson Days are a chance to revel in this fact.|Lord Shaxx}}
Crimson Days' focus was [[Crucible]] mode called '''Crimson Doubles'''. Participating in Crimson Doubles allowed players to earn exclusive Crimson Days-themed items.

==Gameplay==
To participate in Crimson Days, players had to obtain the [[Quest]] "Crimson Bonds" from [[Lord Shaxx]]; note that players must be level 40.<ref name="CD">[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=44324 '''Bungie.net''' - ''Destiny Update - 02/09/2016'']</ref> 
Completing the the quest, which involved completing 7 Crimson Doubles matches in a fireteam, rewarded the Crimson Crest emblem.

Crimson Doubles was a 2v2 Crucible mode where killing one player on the opposing team will cause the surviving player to gain the "Heartbroken" buff to avenge his or her teammate. "Heartbroken" maxed out the affected player's Armor, Recovery, and Agility stats and increased weapon reload speeds; players affected by "Heartbroken" also gained a fiery red aura to mark them. Random rewards from each match included shaders, [[Ghost shell]]s with a random Defense value above the player's current Ghost Shell up to 320 Defense, and Crimson Candy.<ref name="CD"/> In addition, daily [[bounties]] were offered by Lord Shaxx which can drop [[Nightfall]]-tier rewards.

Crimson Candy was a consumable used to activate a 30-minute buff called "Crimson Connection" among all members of a [[fireteam]]. "Crimson Connection" increased experience gains for all of a player's equipped weapons. Only one fireteam member needed to use a Crimson Candy to buff the entire fireteam.
