**Subtitle:** An Essential Feature for Destiny 2’s Teamwork-Driven Gameplay
Bungie recently announced that the **Fireteam Finder tool** for Destiny 2 is aiming to launch in “late January,” although a specific release date has not been confirmed yet. Additionally, a Raids stress test is planned for November 30th from 9 AM Pacific Time to 5 PM.
