The week in Destiny 2 is coming to an end, and as Guardians prepare for the new season, the mysterious and shadowy presence of Xur, the exotic merchant, is making its way once again in Season 21.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? Before Xur lures you back into his corner of Destiny 2’s universe with new offers, let’s take a look at the past week. And there’s quite a lot to cover.
- The former largest Destiny streamer Luis “Lachegga” has been permanently banned due to his violations of Bungie’s code of conduct. Our author Schuhmann states: This hate and toxicity in Luis’s community is simply not okay, because even people who have seen him wish death upon others applaud.
- Other streamers also make their jokes – however, they only discuss whether a boss in Destiny 2 has too much health or if the players just don’t know how to play it.
- Some players in Destiny 2 have discovered a weapon that is currently the best in Lightfall and prefer hunting for this instead.
- On Tuesday, the big Destiny 2 Showcase will take place, which will be extremely exciting. Also because many Guardians look to the future of the loot shooter with mixed feelings and skepticism. You can find a first teaser in our hub for “The Final Form”.
Looking ahead, we have also put together a glimpse into the new Season 22, which starts next Tuesday, August 22, and will tell you what is currently in store.

Trials of Osiris from August 18 – 22 – Maps, weapon, and info
The most flawless Guardians can be found in PvP at the Trials of Osiris. This endgame challenge offers intense 3v3 battles, where only the bravest and most skillful can claim the master rewards at the Lighthouse.
Which map is up this week? In the Trials, Guardians must focus on a specific map. It does not change and remains active until the Weekly Reset on August 22.
This is the reward for a flawless run: Each week, a very special weapon awaits you at the Lighthouse, which you receive for your flawless run, i.e., 7 victories, as a master version. You can earn the weapon until next Tuesday, August 22, at 7:00 PM.
As a reward, there is always an adept weapon if you have made it to the Lighthouse safely with your ticket.
Focus on the loot you want: You can also specifically focus your Trials Engrams at the 14th Saint for your desired weapon. Additionally, there are upgrade prisms and ascendant shards.
- Your rewards increase further once you have a complete pass – even if you have lost one or two Trials matches.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris start today, August 18, 2023, at 7:00 PM and end with the Weekly Reset on August 22, 2023, at 7:00 PM.
This new catalyst could become particularly strong in close combat in Season 22 of Destiny 2:
