In the MMO shooter Destiny , the week begins on January 12 with a new Nightfall strike, and a challenge awaits in the raid.

This week will be the last somewhat strange “in-between week” where there are no official updates from Bungie. The community team is still taking it easy and has not released a weekly update. Next week should be different, as information about an update in February is planned. In the meantime, there were at least Christmas gifts and hints about a mysterious event.
Today, players should also receive the emblem if they were active last week.

Nightfall strike leads to the Sunless Cell (but is currently broken)
Update: As several players consistently report, the Nightfall is broken this week and cannot be completed. The door before the room with the Screamers does not open. Even restarting repeatedly does not help. The Nightfall strike is thus broken and should not be started.
2. Update: Since 8:30 PM, reports are increasing that the Nightfall works. The streamer Professor Broman is said to have completed it, and others report: It’s working again.
In the dark, it’s good to whisper this time. It’s against the Darkblade in the Nightfall.
Modifiers are:
- Grounded – Guardians take more damage while in the air
- Fresh Troops – The enemy packs are reinforced
- Match Game – One should pay attention to fighting the enemies’ shields with a matching elemental damage type
- Exposure – Shields regenerate incredibly slowly, but are reinforced
Dead Orbit wants spun metal this week, the Future War Cult wants Helium Filaments, and the New Monarchy wants Ghost Flowers.

The raid challenge is the Warpriest (Challenge Mode Warpriest)
In the raid, starting from January 12, the Warpriest awaits the players again this week. This was the first challenge back then and turned out to be relatively easy – many completed it without even knowing what was going on.
The rewards for successfully completing the raid challenge of the Warpriest and what exactly the challenge is, we have outlined in this article.
