Destiny 2 bids farewell to the Iron Banner this week. Lord Saladin will leave the Tower again and focus on his seasonal tasks, as the legendary PsiOps Battlegrounds begin. What awaits you in Destiny 2 this week is explained by MeinMMO.
This is happening this week: In the story, the last rotation at Operation Elbrus in the seasonal campaign on the Moon has been completed. Now the question arises whether the alliance with the Cabal can last permanently. At least Caiatl, the current leader of the Cabal, is ready to entrust Commander Zavala with her people’s legacy blindly and to sacrifice everything down to the last fighter.
This week, players are also getting a reputation rank boost from the Vagabond. However, this is currently not the favorite pastime of the Guardians, as a weapon is currently dominating Gambit with a reign of terror. But don’t worry, that will end today, as Bungie has addressed the bug in today’s hotfix 4.0.0.4 just in time.
In the Throne World of Savathun and in the Enclave on Mars, Guardians have also become somewhat accustomed to weapon crafting. They have discovered that they can even create improved versions of their old favorite weapons that once fell victim to sunsetting.
This is what you can expect, after hotfix 4.0.0.4, still this week in Destiny 2:
The most important information about activities from March 22 to March 29.
The Nightfall: The Ordeal is the strike this week:
- Fallen S.A.B.E.R., in the Cosmodrome
- You must prevent the Devils from taking control of Rasputin’s warmind satellites again this week. If this were to happen, Golden Age turrets would be aimed at the Tower and the Last City within minutes.
- Playlist Strikes have these modifiers:
- Arc Burn
Heavyweight - Blackout
- The burn modifier accompanies you throughout the week, while the others change daily.
- Arc Burn
These weapons drop from Nightfalls: Each week, players can receive certain weapons from the Nightfall strikes. Currently, there are eight weapons in rotation in the loot pool. Two of them are available each week.
- The Comedian, Void Shotgun
- The Hot Head, Arc Rocket Launcher
- The Palindrome – 140 Void Hand Cannon
- Duty Bound – 600 Kinetic Auto Rifle
- Silikonneurom – 72 Kinetic Sniper Rifle
- Plug-One.1 – Arc Fusion Rifle
Top Nightfalls: On April 5, the Hardcore mode in the Nightfalls will start. Then you can also earn the current Nightfall weapon as an improved Master version (Adept).
This is happening in the raid “Glass Chamber“:
- In the Glass Chamber, you can take on the challenge “Wait for it…” In this challenge, you can only kill the Wyverns during the encounter once they begin to sacrifice themselves at the Conflux. This is not as easy as it sounds. If only one successfully sacrifices itself, you must start over.
- As a reward, in Challenge Mode, the Time-lost weapon “Vision of Confluence” awaits. This weapon will then guarantee to come with 2 perks per slot. However, note that Hard and Normal modes share the loot.
- The armor focusing in the raid “Glass Chamber” this week: Intelligence
This is happening in the raid “The Oath of the Student“:
- This week, challenges also start in the new raid “The Oath of the Student.” However, the specifics of these challenges and what you need to do for them is currently not known.
Savathun’s Throne World – Weekly campaign mission
- “The Last Chance”: This week, you can play the eighth campaign mission of Witch Queen as a repeatable story mission. It involves following Eris’ trusted source, who informs you about an artifact in the Throne World that might hold the answer to how Savathun gained the Light.
Crucible – These are the PvP playlists:
- Private Match
- Rumble
- Control
- Elimination
- Glory Survival
- Glory Survival: Freelance
- Conflict
- Trials of Osiris (March 25 – 29 / 6 PM)
Active bonus this week: The Vagabond releases the primordial and grants you a Gambit reputation rank boost this week.
Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City
- Petra Venj can now be found in the Dreaming City right at the spawn point – as always during the 2nd curse week. At the same time, the 6th Ascendant Challenge is active.
Sources for top loot in Season 16 of Destiny 2

However, all players will also be raised to a base power level of 1,350 at the start, and there are many sources to level up quickly.
Anyone who wants to reach 1,520 power level quickly only needs to complete the Legendary campaign. By the way, you will also receive one of the new Witch Queen exotics as a gift upon completion.
