The MMO shooter Destiny sends the Guardians for the weekly Nightfall strike this time to Earth, into Devil’s Lair. There they face Sepiks Prime.
The weekly Nightfall strike in Destiny is reset every Tuesday at 10 AM. This time it takes the Guardians to Earth to “Old Russia” in Devil’s Lair. The Nightfall is particularly interesting because it grants a 24.5% bonus to all experience points and reputation throughout the week (but don’t count on bonus reputation in the Iron Banner). Every week it has some unique features. This week it might be advisable for solo players to team up with three people. There are rumors that the Nightfall has become easier with the yesterday’s patch for 3-man teams.
Meanwhile, there was also a rumor that the solo Nightfall became harder, but that seems not to have been confirmed.
The modifiers for the weekly Nightfall strike from November 18 to November 25
The five modifiers this week are:
- Nightfall – as always, after a complete wipe of the fireteam, it’s back to orbit
- Epic – is the difficulty level, always the same, ensuring that the Nightfall at 28 is significantly harder than the weekly heroic strike at 28
- Angry – the enemies are unstoppable, even high damage does not deter them from pursuing the Guardian
- Lightswitch – enemies deal significantly increased melee damage, making it quick to lose your light
- Arc Burn – both the Guardians and the enemies deal 300% increased Arc damage, so anything electric, shocking, or buzzing is recommended as a weapon, and should be avoided if it belongs to the enemy
Which weapon arsenal is recommended?
Anything that deals Arc damage and has high range is a good idea:
- The sniper rifle Patience and Time is an outstanding choice, dealing significant damage, and in the Nightfall it’s always advisable to keep enemies at a distance.
- The machine gun Thunderlord is excellent for really cleaning up: whoever has it can be pleased.
- The legendary machine gun Swarm and the electro hand cannon Fatebringer are also excellent options to get through. Without “Juggler” there should be fewer ammunition difficulties than in the past weeks.
Tips and guides?
As always: try to hit as often as possible without being hit yourself. The combat system in Destiny allows Guardians to repeatedly take cover, wait until they have regenerated, and then fight again. We will also post some videos in the next few hours from teams and solo players who completed the Nightfall. Here you can pick up some tips.
In this video, you can watch a Titan at work, going methodically and cautiously, taking an Arc rocket launcher for tricky spots, weakening enemies from a distance with the sniper rifle, and then using his primary weapon for everyday encounters. An impressive example of how the Nightfall in Destiny works: nice and careful. And there’s also a little “cheese spot” for the final boss Sepiks Prime.
