How to bake Peanut Butter Paw Prints in Destiny 2’s Dawning

The time to bake cookies is upon Destiny 2 with the Dawning event. This time, Eva Levante taught us a new recipe: Peanut Butter Paw Prints, a treat for Archie, the Tower’s favorite cybernetic canine.

Despite the slew of changes to Destiny 2 since The Edge of Fate, the core of the Dawning remains the same: kill enemies, get ingredients, bake cookies, spread the holiday joy, and hope you get a Holofoil weapon out of your gift.

This year, the event’s main quest tasks you with baking two new recipes: Dark Matter Drizzlers for the Dean of the Aionians and Peanut Butter Paw Prints for Archie, which shockingly doesn’t use any peanut butter. Here’s how to make this delicacy in this year’s Dawning in Destiny 2.

Peanut Butter Paw Print recipe in Destiny 2’s Dawning

• Dark Ether Cane
• Balanced Flavors
• Essence of Dawning x15

  • Masterworking Eva Levante’s oven drops the cost to 10 Essence of Dawning

Dark Ether Cane requires you to defeat Scorn enemies in Destiny 2, which can be tricky to find. They appear in some Portal activities, such as Nightmare Containment and Kell’s Fall, but you can also make a quick detour to the Bay of Drowned Wishes Lost Sector in the Dreaming City.

Balanced Flavors, on the other hand, can drop whenever you defeat an enemy with a bow, pulse rifle, scout rifle, or a sniper rifle. Just use one of those weapons to grab this ingredient, but if you’d like to grab Balanced Flavor in droves, we recommend Trinity Ghoul or Graviton Lance. Both excel at taking down red bars, so you’ll be swimming in this ingredient in no time.

Lastly, Essence of Dawning drops whenever you complete a Portal activity. You can, of course, head to Solo Ops for quick runs, but the Vanguard Alerts playlists are usually fast and rewarding as well. Aim for activities that have Distorted Dawning Engrams as rewards for even more drops.

When you have all the ingredients, bake a batch of Peanut Butter Paw Print cookies and bring them to Archie in the Tower’s Annex, just opposite the entrance to Ada-1’s den. We’re not sure if they’re dog-safe—especially not “cybernetic dog we kind of adopted from a derelict facility” safe—but we know Archie appreciates it all the same.

You better watch out, you better not die (in Call of Duty), you better not pout, I’m telling you why: Black Ops 7’s Naughty and Nice event is here.

The latest seasonal holiday event for BO7 is bringing the gifts, or maybe the lumps of coal, depending on how bad you’ve been in CoD this year. But the Naughty & Nice event in BO7 is mostly nice, as it brings along a new free weapon and animated camo for gamers to unlock along the way.

Here’s the full list of challenges and rewards you can get by playing Naughty & Nice.

Black Ops 7 Naughty & Nice event

There are 10 total challenges to complete in Naughty and Nice, and the two main rewards are the Sokol 545 LMG and Snowfall animated camo. Five challenges are Naughty (sacks of coal) while five are Nice (holiday gifts), and completing the associated challenge allows you to open up whatever is inside (a mystery, for now).

Naughty challenges are for the naughtiest CoD players who only chase down kills and don’t care about wins or objectives, while Nice challenges are for those of you who play for the team and not just the individual accolades. But hey, both are needed and necessary!

All 10 challenges can be completed in either BO7 multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, or Warzone. Just finishing one of the tasks listed below will unlock the reward for it, including everything from emblems, weapon charms, and a blueprint like the Sweet Tooth Peacekeeper Mk1 blueprint and more.

Several of the challenges have to do with playing limited time modes like Snowfight in multiplayer or Holiday Rush in Warzone, so make sure to be in the holiday spirit before logging on.
