Warframe is marking the end of Destiny 2’s active development with a limited-time mission and a player title built around one of Destiny’s most familiar lines. The “Make Your Own Fate” Honoria lands as a direct nod to Bungie’s shooter, complete with a venue chosen for maximum in-joke value.
Quick answer: On June 17, complete the one-time “Make Your Own Fate” Alert on the Telesto node in Warframe. Finishing it unlocks the “Make Your Own Fate” Honoria, a title you can display on your character.
What the “Make Your Own Fate” Alert is
The tribute takes the form of a special Alert, the limited-time mission type Warframe uses for one-off events. Creative director Rebecca Ford confirmed the plan, writing that players will be able to head to Telesto to “Make Their Own Fate” with more details to come.
The reward is a Honoria, which is Warframe’s term for an in-game title you can equip and show off. In this case the title is “Make Your Own Fate,” a phrase used prominently during Destiny 2: The Final Shape and rooted in the longer line “Guardians make their own fate.”
When the Alert goes live
The Alert is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, June 17. It runs as a one-time mission, so the window to play it and grab the title is limited rather than permanent.

How to earn the Honoria
You know it worked when the Honoria becomes available to select and display. Because it is a one-time Alert, the main reason to miss out is simply not playing during the live window.
Why Telesto and “Make Your Own Fate” matter
The choice of names is the whole point. Telesto is the name of one of Destiny 2’s most notorious weapons, a fusion rifle that became famous for repeatedly breaking the game in odd ways. Bungie leaned into the bit over the years, even playing with the idea that the gun had gained sentience and “posted” on the game’s social accounts.
The phrase “Guardians make their own fate” runs deep in Destiny lore and traces back to the Vault of Glass raid, where it signals that Guardians cannot be simulated or predicted by the Vex. Pairing that line with a Telesto mission turns a simple title into a layered reference that Destiny players recognize instantly.
The backstory behind the tribute
The idea started with a fan. An X user who plays both games asked Ford whether a Destiny 2 tribute could be added as a Warframe Honoria. Ford replied that the team would figure something out as fast as it could and told players to stay tuned. Within hours, the plan was set.
Ford had already spoken about Bungie’s influence on Digital Extremes, writing that there is no Warframe without the legacy of Bungie games and describing Destiny as a force of nature. She also recalled attending the Halo 3 midnight launch at 16 and urged Warframe fans not to treat Destiny’s wind-down as a chance to score points or push players to switch games.
The response has been warm on both sides. Bungie’s principal communications manager, Dylan “dmg04” Gafner, thanked Warframe players for sending kind words to Guardians and said he loved seeing communities share stories and affection for their games.
Where this fits in Destiny 2’s wind-down
Bungie released Destiny 2’s final live-service content update, Monument of Triumph, on June 9, ending active development after years of raids, seasonal stories, and Crucible matches. The game stays playable, but no new content is planned, and there is no greenlit Destiny 3 at the studio.
The send-off drew a crowd. Players returned in numbers Destiny 2 had not seen in years, and the game briefly climbed Steam’s top-sellers chart as fans logged in for the final update. Against that backdrop, Warframe’s small, free tribute reads as one community tipping its cap to another rather than a rivalry.
