“Ferried from an unknown time and place, a haunting presence has been detected,” says the description of the raid on Bungie’s website. “We must now confront the ancient threat growing at our doorstep.”

The thing about ancient threats is they’re always pretty difficult to take on, but not when you’re a hardcore PvE player and a championship belt is on the line. That’s why Destiny 2’s World First raid race is always an incredible event to watch.

Here’s all you need to know about the next Raid race in Destiny 2.

For the first time ever, the Destiny 2 World First Raid Race will have an official stream.

Bungie has partnered up with Twitch Rivals to broadcast the race, with hosts watching multiple perspectives and following along with all of the teams in the race, keeping up with whoever has the best progress and who is close behind.

“Fireteams all over the world will have 48 hours to complete the raid in Contest Mode,” Bungie said on its website. “The first fireteam to finish every encounter, loot the final chest, and return to orbit will have their victory immortalized with Root of Nightmares World First raid belts.”

Some of the best Destiny 2 PvE streamers will be competing in the raid, including previous World First winners. Here’s an example of those expected to participate when the raid goes live on March 10:
