Bungie starts a new week in Destiny 2 with fresh challenges, the Iron Banner, and a new bonus. We will show you what to expect this week.
This week: This week will be rather quiet for Guardians. The Guardian Games 2023 are entering the 3rd round. Take this time to earn some more triumphs or weapons as well as materials.
In 14 days, on May 23, the new “Season of Depth” with fresh content will finally continue. Bungie has already presented aquatic impressions.
In this article, we will first give you an overview of the most important changes of this weekly reset and help Guardians prepare for the upcoming week.
Key information on activities from 09.05. to 16.05
Vanguard: Nightfall – The Firetest
- The Mirror Corridor, on Jupiter’s moon Europa
- Elsie Bray requests the help of the Guardians to stop the advance of the Vex on Europa. Head out and defeat the Transcendent Spirit “Belmon” again in the Nightfall.
Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation
Farmable Endgame on a weekly rotation: In the further endgame, the legacy rotations await. This means that both the rotating raid and the rotating dungeon are farmable. You can repeatedly complete the individual encounters to obtain various items and complete your collection, including possible exotics that are available in this content.
- The weekly legacy raid is the “Oath of the Student” with the Exo “Collective Pressure”
- In addition, the dungeon “Prophecy” has extra top loot
Bungie will further expand these content rotation activities from Season 22. Then players will be able to play not only raids and dungeons as “legacy” but also old exotic missions.
Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity:
- Zone Control
Where is there a bonus this week?
- This week you can expect a bonus in the Vanguard. You will receive bonus Nightfall rewards, which means extra loot.
Weekly Activities
With the weekly reset on May 9, several activities and challenges have once again been updated, offering players a variety of rewards and progress, and making them better Guardians through repetition.
Lightfall – Weekly Campaign Mission
- “First Contact”
- In the first mission, you make first contact and get to know Strand for the very first time while wandering through Neomuna with your Guardian. Strand is the new subclass from Lightfall, and there is something else you need to do…
Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City
If you still need triumphs from the Dreaming City, pay attention. Corruption reveals new accesses to you with a sip of “Queen’s Leaf Tincture”.
- Petra Venj stands at the top of the pavilion in the area “The Shore” in the Dreaming City. The curse cycle resets and Curse Week 1 is active. The 5th Ascendant Challenge is also active.
All sources for top loot in Season 20 of Destiny 2
To help you know where you can effectively grab your top loot, we provide a quick summary of activities every week.
This is the new max level: In the new season of resistance (Season 20), the power level increases drastically. The maximum power level of your gear rises to 1,810. This means that the power level at the start of the new Season 20 has increased by +210 compared to the previous Season 19.
- In Season 20 of Lightfall, Guardians start at power level 1,600.
- The soft cap is at 1,750.
- The powerful cap at 1,800.
- With top loot, you can bring yourself to the hard cap of 1,810.
The new Season 21, on the other hand, will not bring any further increase in the power level. Therefore, the level stress will be eliminated, and the Guardians can play relaxed and without pressure.
We will list the currently known activities that provide you with top loot and thus power level so that you can reach the max level.
This top loot will increase your power level to 1,810:
- Top raid “Root of Nightmares” (+2)
