Destiny 2 weekly reset time & activities for May 7 from Nightfall to Exotic Rotator
The Destiny 2 weekly reset is upon us once more, bringing another week of refreshed content for Guardians to dive into, from a new Nightfall weapon rotation to Ritual activities and plenty of other updates.
While The Final Shape has seen a delay, Season of the Wish is still in full swing, meaning that players can expect new updates and content each week. So, here's everything happening in the game this week, from a rundown of the reset time to details on the featured raid, dungeon, and everything else for May 7.
In case you missed it, Into the Light is here, bringing with it new features like Onslaught and the BRAVE Arsenal. This week, we are getting access to Luna's Howl and Blast Furnace, so check out our guide for our god roll tips.
Oh, and while you're here, why not check out our interview with the team about the current season, as well as what went into making the Warlord's Ruin dungeon?
What time is the Destiny 2 weekly reset for April 30?
Destiny 2 has its weekly reset every Tuesday at 6 PM GMT/10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT. After this point, you will be able to tackle any of the week's new content until the next week rolls around.
This includes new challenges, any new story content, and a refresh of all weekly content, such as Nightfalls, Raids, and Crucible modes.
If there have been any major updates or it's the start of a new season, you can expect some server maintenance and a big queue when you do get in, though - check out our Server Status page for more.
What is the weekly reset?
The weekly reset in Destiny 2 is when all activities are refreshed, rewards are restocked, and new weekly content is released. Each week, Guardians everywhere will jump on at the weekly reset time to check out what's new, and what's different, and to earn some all-important, powerful gear.
The weekly reset is also a way for events like Iron Banner to launch and conclude their limited time in the game, and for vendors to restock their supplies.
A new Pantheon challenge
Pantheon, the new raid boss gauntlet mode, began last week. It kicked off with Atraks Sovereign, the first and easiest stage of the gauntlet that pits you against four raid bosses.
This week we will see the addition of Oryx Exalted, adding Oryx as the fifth raid boss and increasing the overall difficulty. You can check out our Pantheon breakdown for further details.
Destiny 2 Nightfall this week
This week's Nightfall strike is Heist Battleground: Moon.
Completing the regular Nightfall will net you some decent rewards, but the true prize, the Adept weapon, comes only to those who can accomplish a Grandmaster Nightfall completion with a Platinum medal.
Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon rotation
The Nightfall exclusive reward for this week is the Pre AStyanax IV bow.
If you're not familiar, there is a rotation of Nightfall-specific weapons that can only be gotten this way, and only one weapon is active from the rotation each week.
The list of the weapons we have seen in the rotation so far is:
Weapon | Details |
The Slammer | Stasis Sword |
Warden's Law | Kinetic Hand Cannon |
Pre Astyanax IV | Solar Bow |
Braytech Osprey |
Void Rocket Launcher |
Loaded Question | Arc Fusion Rifle |
Undercurrent | Arc Grenade Launcher |
Uzume RR4 | Solar Sniper Rifle |
Wild Style | Solar Grenade Launcher |
Destiny 2 Exotic Rotator
The rotating exotic mission this week is Vox Obscura, from which you can acquire the Dead Messenger exotic grenade launcher.
The Whisper mission where you can acquire Whisper of the Worm continues to be available. This mission has returned as part of Into The Light and appears to be available for the next few weeks, at least until Zero Hour is added.
Featured raid & dungeon this week
Deep Stone Crypt is the featured raid for the week, so be sure to jump in there to complete any challenges you have yet to accomplish. This raid is packed with excellent weapons to acquire, and the exclusive exotic Eyes of Tomorrow is a wildly powerful rocket launcher.
The featured dungeon is Pit of Heresy, making this a great week to complete the attached Seal.
Wondering if they're worth tackling? Check out our ranked Raid and Dungeon list. Don't forget there's a whole host of new Legend and Master Lost Sectors, too.
Destiny 2 Crucible & Gambit rotation
With the competitive content refresh, we have more bounties to complete, gear to chase, and good times to be had in Destiny 2, with this week bringing Clash and Showdown into the rotating playlists.
With this new reset, we also see three new Crucible maps added to the game. These maps are part of the Into the Light update, and come with no additional cost. The maps are:
- Cirrus Plaza
- Dissonance
- Eventide Labs
These maps will begin appearing across the regular Crucible modes, so be sure to jump in soon to check them out. If you really want to try them out, the New Territory playlist will consist of 3v3 matches of varying game modes exclusively on these new maps.
Trials of Osiris will be back this weekend, as last week saw out the final round of Iron Banner for the season.
