The weekly Nightfall strike in the MMO shooter Destiny takes place this week in the Devil’s Lair on Earth. Especially Void damage proves to be highly effective.
The weekly Nightfall strike for the week of October 14 to 21 is set for level 28 players as always. Experienced players should start their week with this. Because a successful completion of the Nightfall grants a 20% bonus on weapon experience, experience points, and reputation gain until next Tuesday.
Oh yes: It is important that you log out and back in on Tuesday morning after the weekly reset of the missions before you start with the new missions. Otherwise, you may not receive rewards.
This Week’s Modifiers
The Nightfall has different modifiers each week (except for two that remain the same). These modifiers require a different playstyle each time. This week they are:
- Epic – this is always the same and ensures that it remains quite challenging.
- Nightfall – this modifier is also the same, meaning if a fireteam completely dies, it’s back to orbit and the mission must be restarted; you cannot just rush through the strike.
- Juggler – this modifier means that no ammo drops for the weapon used to secure the kill. This means you have to “juggle through” your arsenal.
- Lightswitch – enemies deal significantly increased melee damage. You should definitely avoid letting them get too close.
- Void Burn – Void damage is significantly increased. This applies to both players and enemies.
This Week in Destiny: Increased Void Damage, Adjust Your Arsenal Accordingly
The increased Void damage means Guardians should pull out weapons that also deal Void damage. Particularly popular is the auto rifle Atheon’s Epilog, perhaps along with the sniper rifle Praedyth’s Revenge or the machine gun Corrective Measure and little stands in the way of a successful visit to the “Devil’s Lair”.
Many complain that the beginning of the Devil’s Lair instance is a tough test for players who want to go solo. Towards the end, there are again “safe spots” to make the boss easier and avoid the worst. We have selected two videos from players tackling the weekly Nightfall this week. Definitely watch out for the Stalkers, with increased melee damage they can become very unpleasant.
