Will Defiant Engrams expire in Destiny 2 Season of the Deep?

With Season of the Deep around the corner, players are wondering what to do with their spare Defiant Engrams. Will they expire once Season 20 ends or are you safe to stack them up? This is our guide on will Defiant Engrams expire at the start of Destiny 2 Season of the Deep.

The Season of Defiance introduced Defiant Engrams through the seasonal HELM activities. These Engrams are common drops that can be spent at the War Table.

Players can cash these Engrams in for a range of rewards including weapons and armor. Season 20’s HELM rewards include some awesome craftable guns with the likes of the Perpetualis, Raconteur, and Regnant.

However, with some players stacking up hundreds of Defiant Engrams it’s unclear if they need to spend them before the Season of the Deep gets underway.
