In Destiny 2, the weekly and daily challenges changed with Forsaken. You can find out how and when these activities are reset by the reset here.
Which resets are we talking about? What were milestones in Destiny 2 are called “challenges” in Forsaken. Through these contents, you can earn valuable loot weekly or daily to increase your power level.
Some challenges allow items to drop above the new soft cap of 500 power level. Therefore, these special challenges are particularly important for endgame progression.
What is the problem with the resets? The weekly and daily challenges differ in terms of their reset. It gets a bit complicated: daily challenges are not reset daily, and there are weekly challenges that can be completed multiple times a week.
Bungie has now outlined how the resets actually work. We explain it to you.
Everything you need to know about the Weekly Reset and Daily Reset
The most important reset for your weekly planning remains the Weekly Reset, which takes place every Tuesday at 7 PM.
Weekly Reset in Forsaken
The following activities are reset with the Weekly Reset along with their rewards:
- “Call to Arms” Crucible Challenges
- Flashpoints
- Raid Challenges
- Raid Checkpoints
- Nightfall Strike
- Weekly Clan Engram
- Weekly Clan XP Caps
- Eververse selection of Glimmer offers and Prism Matrix
We wrote before the Forsaken launch that the new Flashpoint challenge would reset every 4 days. But that seems to be incorrect. According to this plan from Bungie, Flashpoint remains a weekly activity.
Users report that they have already received their second Flashpoint loot this week. However, this is because milestones appear to reset once you reach character level 50.
Daily Reset in Forsaken
The daily reset occurs every day at 7 PM.
The following activities are affected by the daily reset:
- Activity Challenges
- Destination Challenges
- Clan Bounties
- Heroic Story Missions
- Replayable Adventures
The complicated part about daily challenges: Although daily challenges provide a new challenge every day, they are only reset every 4 days, according to Bungie. What does that mean?
Concrete examples:
- The first daily strike challenge went live on September 4. The next daily strike challenge will be on September 8 at 7 PM – so 4 days later.
- The first daily Gambit challenge came on September 5. Therefore, the next one will be on September 9.
- Every day – for four days – there will be a new challenge in an activity that you have 4 days to complete.
You keep the daily challenges until they are completed:
- If you complete the daily strike challenge on September 7, you will receive the challenge again on September 8.
- If you do not complete the daily strike challenge before September 8, it will not appear as a duplicate. Instead, the challenge resets and your previous progress is deleted. You will have to start the challenge over again.
Phew, what does that mean now? Simply put, every day in Destiny 2 there is a new challenge. On the first day in Strike, the next day in Gambit, the next day in Crucible, and the fourth day in another activity (heroic story missions?). So, there is always something new to do every day.
You have 4 days for each of these daily challenges before they reset. Each of these four challenges allows loot to drop once every four days.
Bungie promises to release a calendar in the future that shows all the resets concretely. We will embed it here.
Other Reset Times
- Heroic Adventures reset every week on Monday and Thursday.
- Escalation Protocol: The final boss rotates every week with the Weekly Reset.
Additionally, there is a seasonal reset that resets the vendors, Crucible ranks, and seasonal challenges.
What do you think of these reset times? Users on reddit say that they are unnecessarily complicated now.
