This week in Destiny 2, everything revolves around power boosts and the new seasonal questline “Operation Elbrus.” Additionally, Caiatl and Lord Saladin are waiting with new tasks for you. We at MeinMMO tell you where to get top loot right now and what else is happening this week.
This is happening this week: This week players can continue “Operation Elbrus.” While Crow is not thrilled about the Vanguard’s barbaric experiments with the Hive, Lord Saladin only sees an advantage in knowing his enemy and potentially “dissecting” him psychologically. This week, players can return to the H.E.L.M. and continue the time-gated seasonal quest.
At the end of the week, the Trials players will also have their hour. The 14th Saint is getting ready and finally brings back the Trials of Osiris. There will be more top loot for all PvP fans. But the new “Vox Obscura” activities will also grant you top loot.
This week, exotic glaives will likely not receive much praise in weapon crafting, as their special abilities have been unconvincing.
The most important info on activities from March 8 to March 15.
The Nightfall: The Trial by Fire is the strike this week:
- The Lightblade, in Savathun’s Throne World
- Players will play the new strike “Lightblade” in Nightfall mode for the first time this week. Here, players penetrate the Temple of Oryx.
