In Destiny 2, a new week brings a change of activities. Bungie is deep in preparations for the Guardian Games. We will show you what to expect this week and which items you can buy for Glimmer in the Eververse shop.
This week: In Destiny 2, you can expect many open challenges this week to push your light level in order to participate in the tough endgame content. Players are completing the last hard triumphs. However, since the loot shooter is not free of problems, you need to participate in maintenance before the reset.
After Update 4.0.1.1, another lab awaits you in Gambit, where cunning particle thieves are wreaking havoc. So guard the bank and summon a Primeval!
The most important info on activities from 04/26 to 05/03.
The Nightfall: The Ordeal is this week’s strike:
- The Lightblade, in Savathun’s Throne World
- With Mara in your ear, you set out to defeat Alak-Hul, the Lightblade, who guards Oryx’s altar. But be careful, this rampaging Hive beast packs a punch.

- The Singe modifier will accompany you all week, while the others change daily.
These weapons can be obtained from Nightfalls: Each week, players can obtain specific weapons from Nightfall strikes. The current loot pool consists of six weapons in rotation. One of them is available each week:
