In the MMO shooter Destiny a new week begins with Nightfall strike and raid challenge.
At 11:00 AM today, something ends: the Iron Banner and the Trials of Osiris. But something else begins: the new week in Destiny.
Currently, there are no major features, and nothing exciting has been announced. May is over, the live streams have ended, and everyone is waiting for E3 in Los Angeles. It’s expected that at the Sony conference, Bungie will present the next expansion. But they are still so tight-lipped that they haven’t even officially confirmed that.
This week’s Nightfall strike is the Sunless Cell
The Sunless Cell is up. You can again acquire coveted strike-exclusive items.
Modifiers are:
- Berzerker – Enemies are relentless and do not retreat
- Sidearms – Primary weapons are preferred
- Flayer – Guardians’ radar is obscured.
- Aerial – Guardians deal more damage while in the air
The combo “Sunless Cell” and “No Radar” has a bit of a blind man’s buff feel.
These collectible items are wanted by the faction vendors in the week of May 31 to June 7.
- The Dead Orbit is looking for Ghost Flowers.
- The New Monarchy craves Relic Iron.
- The Future War Cult also wants Relic Iron.
This is what awaits Guardians in the Elders’ Challenge
Flayer is a modifier – so no radar. Additionally, “Specialist” is active, special weapons are preferred as a weapon type.
Bonus points are available this week for super kills.
The enemies are “Seditious Mind” (Vex), Kelksis (Fallen), and Val Aru’un (Cabal).
Papa Oryx issues the raid challenge
Oryx is the one this week who is taking a big risk and issuing the raid challenge. Defeat me in a specific way and I’ll drop extra loot.
