Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: Highlights on Featured Nightfall, Eververse Store Updates, Activities, Challenges, and More

Every Tuesday signals a new weekly reset in Destiny 2, and we have a comprehensive overview of this week’s offerings, including the featured Nightfall weapon, Grandmaster Nightfall, and the latest items from the Eververse Store.

The seasonal storyline continues with Echoes Act 3, introducing more content and wrapping up the ongoing narrative. Additionally, there’s the new Exotic quest for Choir of One, a Void Auto Rifle favored by Titan players.

This update aligns with Destiny 2’s established schedule. While Episode: Echoes hasn’t brought many new weekly activities, the beginning of this season means a fresh rotation of content that players should keep in mind.

Failing to track the weekly reset may result in missing out on limited-time rewards, rare Eververse inventory, and exclusive Exotics available in this week’s Dungeon and Raid.

Weekly Reset Time

The next weekly reset will take place on Tuesday, September 24, at 5 PM GMT/10 AM PT/1 PM ET. It’s advisable to finish any featured content you’re interested in before this time, as it will cycle out and may not return for several weeks.

Featured Nightfall This Week

This week’s highlighted Nightfall is the Heist Battleground: Europa. Each week, a different Nightfall is showcased, featuring various champions, modifiers, and rewards. The Nightfall is available at Advanced, Expert, Master, and Grandmaster levels, with increasing difficulty.
