In Destiny 2 it says this week: “Play it again!” Because the Iron Banner is back after just one week. MeinMMO tells you what the fastest Saladin of all time has planned and what else you can do in the game this week.
This week: For those wondering what’s up with Lord Saladin this week, we can reassure you. His schedule has been changed by Bungie, and so he only had one week off.
- Due to the “invisibility bug,” Bungie has decided to postpone the Iron Banner by one week.
- Thus, only one week passed between the first Iron Banner week ending on March 28 and the second starting today on April 4.
You can therefore don your Iron Banner armor again tonight and instill fear in other Guardians with the submachine gun “The Immortal”. The mode being played is “Eruption.”
In addition to the Iron Banner, the PvP mode “Trials of Osiris” is also coming into play. And in the Nightfall, it’s all about top loot with the revamped Strike “Sea of Shadows” on hard difficulty. With the start of the toughest activity in Destiny 2, the Grandmaster Nightfalls on April 11, Guardians can already test their new builds in the Grandmaster Nightfall.
The most important information about activities from April 4 to April 11
Vex: Nightfall – The Crucible
- “Sea of Shadows” in the European Dead Zone
- Your task is to free the water supply from the threat to ensure clean water for the population. Additionally, Bungie has spiced this activity up for Lightfall 2023, so you’ll need to adjust your gameplay somewhat.
What changes in Lightfall for the Nightfalls: The challenges of the Vanguard will be adjusted to account for these changes in Lightfall. Additionally, Bungie will integrate a scoring system into the Vanguard Ops playlist. The higher your score is, the greater the multiplier for your Vanguard rank.
- Complete Vanguard activities with the focus on waves.
- These can either be seasonal waves for Nightfalls or weekly waves for Vanguard Ops.
- Complete Nightfall activities.
- Higher difficulties correspond to more progress.
- A single Grandmaster Nightfall also completes this challenge. However, it will only be available in the game again from April 11, 2023.
Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation
- The weekly legacy raid is the “King’s Fall”
- Additionally, there is also extra top loot in the dungeon “Prophecy”
Bungie will further expand this content activity rotation starting with Season 22. Then players will not only be able to play raids and dungeons as “legacy,” but also old exotic missions.
Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity:
- Lord Shaxx wants to see you cook a super soup this week in the “Trials.”
Where is there a bonus this week?
In week 6, Destiny 2 grants you a bonus for your Gambit ranks. This means you will receive engrams faster this weekend from the Drifter in the farm.
Weekly Activities
Here are the most important activities this week. Guardians will no longer fight against Savathun, but rather the Witness as the main antagonist in Destiny 2 in year 6. Many questions remain to be answered, especially those regarding the ominous veil.
Lightfall – Weekly Campaign Mission
- “Headfirst”
- Osiris literally throws you headfirst into a huge Vex mixer as his “Strand student” and wants you to prove yourself. So run in circles, swing your strand skillfully from ledge to ledge, and kill the hordes of Vex units before they overwhelm you.
Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City
If you still need triumphs from the Dreaming City, pay attention. The second tier of corruption reveals to you new access points with a sip of “Queen’s Leaf Tincture.”
- Petra Venj can now be found in the Dreaming City right at the spawn point – as always during the second curse week. At the same time, the 6th Ascendant Challenge is active.
