Destiny 2's latest raid, Root of Nightmares, was cleared the same day it launched, with a fireteam made up of HITP (Hard in the Paint) members Roen, Osiris, Punz, Kai, SK, and Grangalf being crowned World First.
The feat was achieved in just shy of two and a half hours, with the raid going live on 10th March, at 9 am PST. HITP cleared the final encounter at 11:25 am PST, officially the first group in the world to do so.
The race for World First is, at this point, a well worn-tradition, with players competing for bragging rights every time a new raid is released. This was one of the shorter bouts, with The Last Wish, for comparison, taking more than 18 hours of continuous effort to clear.
Are you keyed into the raid scene in Destiny 2? Have you had a chance to dive into Destiny 2's new and slightly underwhelming Lightfall expansion? Race to be first in the comments section below.

One team from our clan managed a contest clear, with a second coming close. I finished it last night - it's the most spectacular-looking raid in a long time, possibly ever - and while there's only four encounters they are all very well done. Looking forward to running this one on repeat. Despite some mis-steps story wise I'd give Nightfall an 8, with the raid now factored into the score.
I gave Destiny 2 one evening... It was quite fun, but soon I got to point, where there was more walking than shooting. I was thinking about playing again, but yesterday it flew out of harddisk... Not bad game, but I rarher installed Wolfenstein New Order...
One of my favorite raids, fun mechanics and beautiful encounters. Plus the traversal between encounters is a lot of fun.
Our clan didn't get a contest mode win about 16 hours trying to beat it and couldn't get past the final boss.
It may have been done in 2.5 hours, but it was by no means easy!!
Although when contest mode ended we beat the final boss on the first try easily, so it may end up being on the easier/faster side as far as raids go!
