First of all, join the community Discord server for the most up-to-date info on Destiny 2 speedrunning.

What is/isn't allowed?

Artifact mods, temporary seasonal mods, and all other damage-related tech (outside one-shot stuff like Winterbite, Ballidorse, Sturm, etc.) are allowed in every category EXCEPT "traditional" levels, including base version strikes and story/campaign missions. Portal versions of these levels are treated differently; the above items are allowed in all portal activities.

How do I time my run?

Generally, timing rules are available upon clicking "Show rules" in the top right corner of every category. However, you don't need to time your own run! Simply submit your run with a time estimate and a verifier will time your run for you. If you have any questions about timing, please reach out to a mod team member on Discord!

Where can I find teammates?

A good place to start is the #looking-for-speeds channel in our Discord, but a lot of the time simply playing an activity you are interested in running will naturally put you in contact with people that might be interested in running!

Can I submit a run that would be previously invalid if rules have changed?

Yes! We encourage you to submit any runs you might have that were previously rejected for using artifact mods or other similar circumstances. The artifact mod forum thread is simply archival; we've since implemented a site-wide policy change on these runs, so feel free to submit them!
