Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on December 26th – The Catalyst Hunt Begins

A festive and mysterious veil surrounds Destiny 2, as the final week of the Dawning event begins today. While the galaxy prepares for the upcoming New Year’s Eve, an engaging symphony of adventures and challenges also unfolds in the new Exo mission. MeinMMO summarizes the activities of this Christmas week for you.

This is happening this week: Guardians will have the opportunity to secure additional catalysts for the new Exo bow Wish Ender this week. The mission Cursed plays a central role, as it must be mastered at the Legendary level.

Of course, the story of Season 23 continues, while Eva encourages you to bake cookies for the NPCs in Destiny 2. The countdown for the end of the Dawning event is January 2, 2024. By then, you should also have baked all ingredients into a large pile of Glimmer, weapons, and materials.

But that’s not all – while the snowflakes gently drift from the sky, the weekly activities also rotate through the cosmic offerings.

The key information about activities from 12/26 to 1/2.

Nightfall

• The Corrupted, in the Dreaming City
  • Guardians must find one of Queen Mara’s closest advisors, Sedia, and free her from the control of the Taken. However, she has some screaming arguments that you need to counter.

Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity

• This week in PvP, the modes checkmate control, witch’s cauldron, and elimination are active.
• Additionally, there is a weekly boost with double Crucible rewards.

Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation

Farmable Endgame on a weekly rotation: For those who enjoy challenges, the so-called Legacy rotations await in the endgame. They can be repeated and farmed.

Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

All sources for top loot in Season 23 of Destiny 2

More power level comes automatically: It seems there will be no grinding for power level in Season 23 either. The hard power level cap in Destiny 2 has remained unchanged at 1,810 for several seasons. Thus, no player is forced to perform at their peak every week, but automatically levels up with artifact level in all activities.

This top loot boosts your power level up to 1,810:
