It finally happened. After 19 long, grueling hours, a team has become the first to complete Destiny 2: The Final Shape's big Salvation's Edge raid, in what became the longest raid race in the MMO's almost seven-year history. 

Destiny 2's latest expansion, The Final Shape, released earlier this week on June 4, a few days after it briefly became playable early, causing leaks to flood the internet. Anyway, its long-awaited raid, titled Salvation's Edge, finally went live yesterday at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, officially kicking off a tradition for the fanbase – a race to see which team is able to clear it first. However, as the hours passed, it became clear that this was less of a regular race and more of a marathon.
