In the MMO shooter Destiny on Tuesday, February 2nd, a fresh Nightfall strike is active. Additionally, the Warpriest awaits with a challenge in the raid.
Destiny Awakens from Its Winter Slumber
Slowly, the Destiny week is taking on familiar structures again. Next week, likely on Tuesday evening, a patch will probably be released, bringing the Crimson Days event. On Thursday in the Weekly Update, Bungie wants to introduce what minor improvements will be included in the February patch.

And then it’s getting closer to when we will receive real information about the larger game content that we were promised. There shouldn’t be anything standing in the way of that announcement starting next week. In Destiny, they always talk only about the next update. We should have cleared that hurdle by Thursday in a week. It has been promised for the time after Valentine’s that “the largest new content since The Taken King.” One can be curious.

So slowly, Destiny is waking up from its winter slumber. But let’s first get to the new week.
Nightfall Strike on February 2nd in Destiny is Rockets McDickface
The Guardians are facing an old acquaintance. It’s going to Cerberus Vae III, the enemy is Valus Ta’aurc.
The modifiers for the Nightfall are:
- Specialist – Special weapon damage is preferred
- Fresh Troops – Enemy gatherings have been reinforced by additional forces
- Exposure – The shields of the Guardians are enhanced, but do not regenerate.
- Trickle – The cooldown of abilities is significantly increased.
This week, Eris Morn wants Hadium Flakes, the Future War Cult wants Worm Spore, Dead Orbit wants Relic Iron, and the New Monarchy wants Spirit Bloom.
