In Destiny, the worst possible combination for the Nightfall strike has occurred during the week of February 17. It involves the DLC strike “Will of Crota,” against the screaming Omnigul. And there is no damage bonus active.
Ouch, Bungie had another surprise up its sleeve. In the Nightfall strikes, Guardians thought they had seen it all, but this combination is new: the DLC-only strike “Will of Crota” is active without a burn. This is going to be really tough. Such so-called “No-Burn” weeks have only occurred when Valus Ta’aurc was active, and they were already hated.
The Nightfall strike in Destiny grants a 24.5% bonus on all earned reputation and experience and the chance for exotic items upon successful completion. Normally, a specific damage modifier is increased by 300%, allowing the strike to be completed relatively quickly. Not this time. The strike “Will of Crota” is also considered unpleasant and lengthy.
The modifiers for the Nightfall “Will of Crota” during the week of February 17.
The following five modifiers are active:
- Nightfall – if the whole fireteam dies, players are thrown back to orbit and must start over.
- Epic – the modifier ensures that it gets significantly tougher than in the heroic weekly.
- Angry – enemies come relentlessly and are not deterred by heavy damage.
- Lightswitch – enemies deal significantly increased melee damage.
- Juggler – no ammunition drops for the weapon you are holding at the moment of the kill.
In the heroic weekly, there’s also no burn, only “Angry” is active.
Tough Business: What weapons should be brought?
In a No-Burn week, you can bring your usual “standard” loadout; there aren’t many big tips here. In the Nightfall, anything with range is generally good. Sniper rifles, rocket launchers, automatic rifles.
It’s probably advisable to use an Arc primary weapon like Fate Bringer or Ir Yût’s Fang, to get through the Arc shields. The sniper rifle Black Hammer with solar damage also serves well for the corresponding solar shields. The fusion rifle “Murmur” proves usable this week as well.
Tips, guides, tricks for the Nightfall “Will of Crota”?
In general, it is advisable to go in as a team of three and then play normally. It will be a relatively tough affair, especially since the strike already tests the patience of players.
We will look for videos of successful and educational runs throughout the day and present them to you, so you can learn something.
In the first video, a German-speaking duo takes on Omnigul. Here they rely on Arc and fire damage – because of the shields. The scout rifle Ir Yût’s Fang and the Black Hammer are quite effective. The Lightswitch is particularly troublesome for the Guardians, especially with all the captains, as things can quickly go wrong. For Omniguls, there is once again a pretty quirky suicide safe spot.

In this clean step-by-step guide, the individual areas of the strike are explained. Especially the middle is elegantly transformed into a sniper passage. It is a half solo run, but in the end, they preferred to do it in pairs. Here, too, caution is required with melee fighters.
