How to get Dark Frosting in the Dawning in Destiny 2

Preheat your ovens and put on your aprons, because Destiny 2‘s Dawning is here. This classic event asks you to hunt down ingredients all over the system, such as Dark Frosting, which you use to bake treats for your allies.

Dark Frosting is one of the Dawning’s rare ingredients, meaning you get it depending on how you kill enemies. There’s a litany of those, allowing you to gift some of your favorite NPCs in the entire Sol System. Here’s how you can get this element.

This ingredient has a random chance of dropping by killing enemies with Stasis or Strand damage. Like all Dawning ingredients, it’s not a guaranteed reward, but it is common enough that you shouldn’t have an issue grabbing enough for your baking ventures.

Since it’s a rare ingredient, it can drop alongside other materials. Defeating a target with a Strand sword, for instance, has a chance to give you Dark Frosting and/or Sharp Flavor.

Recipes that use Dark Frosting in Destiny 2’s Dawning

In-universe, Dark Frosting “adds a decadently deep, rich flavor” to your meals, according to its official description. Unsurprisingly, it’s among the least-used of materials, and it only appears in three recipes:

• Starwort Thins (Elsie Bray/The Exo Stranger)
• Neomun-Pie (Nimbus)
• Dark Matter Drizzlers (Dean Rebecca of the Aionians)

If you’re planning on baking a specific cookie—for instance, Dark Matter Drizzlers—we recommend farming the enemy faction that drops the other ingredient you need. Starwort Thins, for instance, require Dark Ether Cane, which drops from Scorn enemies. If you’d like to get on Elsie Bray’s good graces, killing Scorn with Stasis or Strand damage is the way to go. Likewise, to bake Dark Matter Drizzlers, taking down Fallen is a good way to make progress on two fronts at the same time.

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.
