In Destiny 2, on May 29, the Weekly Reset is back. Update 1.2.1 is live! With the weekly reset, new activities such as the Nightfall or the Flashpoint can now be contested. The weekly Crucible playlist is also rotating again.
It’s that time again: a new week dawns in the Destiny universe – albeit with a rocky start. Update 1.2.1 brought some new features to the game, which are currently only partially available to Guardians.
There are already the first six revamped exotic armor pieces that players can earn and use. The improved group battles also came into the game as part of the update, but will start at a later time. The Crucible Labs will also be unlocked later. More information is expected in the upcoming TWaB.
Furthermore, Bungie has made some changes to heroic strikes. On one hand, they have been upgraded as follows:
- Key fragments for the escalation protocol now have a 100 percent drop chance in heroic strikes.
- Every three to five Heroic Strikes, there are now legendary rewards that should elevate Guardians to a Power Level of 360 (without mods).
On the other hand, the strike “Exodus Crash” has been removed from the heroic strike playlist and is set to be revamped.
Furthermore, Guardians are expecting additional steps from time-limited quests like the Coming Dawn and the Masterwork upgrade of the exotic sword Worldline Zero.
After Update 1.2.1, numerous annoying bugs should finally be a thing of the past.
But let’s see what else the current week has to offer.
