Today, on December 31st, it’s the last Weekly Reset in Destiny 2 – at least for the year 2019. We present what your Guardians have on their to-do list during the transition period.
Christmas is over, but not in Destiny: At home, the Christmas trees are slowly shedding their needles. Do you already miss the contemplative atmosphere? Fortunately, the Destiny universe is celebrating its Christmas event until the new year.
Further, you’re baking delicacies and playing Santa for the Tower residents and even raid bosses. The Iron Banner has just ended, and a look at the roadmap reveals that it will be a rather quiet entry week in 2020.
What doesn’t change quickly in the new year is the fact that Tuesday evening is Weekly Reset. Below, we have compiled the most important information about the rotating activities and rewards for you.
The most important information about the weekly activities from December 31 to January 7.
