How to get the Particle Acceleration emblem in Destiny 2 Lightfall

Emblems are some of the most coveted cosmetics in Destiny 2. With Lightfall, Bungie introduced a plethora of new emblems that everyone can collect. While some of these emblems can be picked up by completing specific Triumphs, others are given away as rewards.

With the Root of Nightmares raid race approaching, players from across the world are already preparing themselves to find and defeat whatever is hidden in the terraformed pyramid. If you aren't participating in the activity, you can still receive a reward, but you'll have to watch other players run the activity in a livestream to do so.

Obtaining the Particle Acceleration emblem in Destiny 2 Lightfall

This particular emblem is associated with the Twitch Rivals event, which is part of the coverage for the Destiny 2 Lightfall raid race. To obtain this emblem, you will have to watch your favorite streamer for two hours on Twitch while they're participating in the raid race. To claim this emblem and use it in-game, you must first link your Twitch and Bungie accounts.

What's the contest mode in Destiny 2 Lightfall?

The contest mode is generally associated with raid races in Destiny 2. For the first 48 hours, the raid race will have a power level cap of 1780. This means that your effective power will be capped at 1780. So, even if you're above this power level, it won't make any difference.

As a result, the enemies in every encounter will be 20 power levels above you, making the entire process fairly challenging. If you're interested in trying it out, make sure that you have your best weapons and armor pieces equipped. It should be noted that Bungie has disabled certain weapons before the upcoming raid to give everyone a level playing field while participating in the raid race in Destiny 2 Lightfall.
