Destiny 2: The last weekly reset before Forsaken brings these activities

In Destiny 2, today, August 28th, is the last Weekly Reset before the Forsaken expansion. Fresh activities, like the Nightfall strike and Flashpoint, are live.

The servers are back online! This evening, Bungie deployed Update 2.0.0, which is set to pave the way for Forsaken. For this, the developers carried out several hours of maintenance. The maintenance is now over, the servers are back online – the last week of Year 1 has begun.

The “Solstice of Heroes” event has now concluded, and the Trials are taking a break indefinitely. Update 2.0.0 has now ushered in a kind of “transition week” until Forsaken launches on September 4th with new adventures in tow.

What can I do during the transition week?

• You can check out the new weapon system from Update 2.0.0
• You can clean up your Postmaster, which may have some of your weapons due to the weapon slot changes
• You can try out the new heroic missions
• You can hunt down the escaped prisoners from the Prison of Elders. However, they will only start dropping loot from September 4th and will appear in the open world and in Strikes.
• You can finally delete your shaders in bulk
• You can familiarize yourself with the new Navigator overview
• You can listen to the new main theme music in the main menu for hours

Additionally, you can inspect a few more changes from Update 2.0.0 – where you can find all the new features bundled in the patch notes here:

Heroic Strikes cannot be found under the strike overview. However, there are legacy strikes with the recommended power level of 200.

Heroic daily story missions are now available. Modifiers are Solar Burn, Glass (health and shields are halved, but regeneration is twice as fast) and Brawler (melee recharge is faster and deals more damage).

Flashpoint, Raid Challenge, Treasure Maps, Meditations

Cayde-6 has left the Tower to investigate disturbances in the Reef. Therefore, there is no Flashpoint and no treasure maps with him. The Flashpoint is now on Mars with Ana Bray.

Ikora Rey has no more meditations.

The Leviathan raid can now be found down on the Nessus world map. The Raid Challenge is at the Circus.

The loadout for the Prestige raid encounters is now any kinetic weapon, fusion rifle as energy weapon, and fusion rifle as power weapon.
