In the MMO shooter Destiny , the new week starts on Tuesday, November 10th, with a Nightfall strike and a new boss in the Court of Oryx.
Fallout 4, Call of Duty, and Halo 5 are out, and it seems Bungie has managed their resources in Destiny so that after the September release, they fired on all cylinders for 6 weeks, bringing new quests, exotic weapons, and secrets, only to then switch to a winter hibernation at the start of the competition. Patches are announced for November and December, but currently, things are pretty quiet otherwise.
Some fans hope that today, on November 10th, a major winter offensive will begin, pulling some trump cards from their sleeve, bringing the missing exotic armor live: If that happens, we will certainly report on it, but it seems unlikely at the moment.
Let’s get to the weekly reset in Destiny.
The weekly Nightfall strike is against the Shield Brothers
This week, the Shield Brothers are active in the Nightfall strike, also known as the Smash Brothers or John Cena and John Cena’s brother.
Modifiers are:
- Small Arms – Primary weapons are favored
- Grounded – Guardians take more damage while in the air
- Match Game – Shields must be broken with the correct elemental damage type
- and Trickling – increases the cooldown of all abilities
This is the T3 boss in the Court of Oryx this week
The T-3 boss this week is Balwûr, the witch for which you must stand in puddles. We have a video guide for it.
