A new week begins in the MMO shooter Destiny . On Tuesday, July 14th, a new weekly Nightfall strike is determined, a new configuration begins in the Prison of Elders, and Variks offers new rewards.
After the turbulent weeks around E3 and unfortunate interviews, a kind of summer calm has settled in Destiny now – much like the rest of the Western world; one could also speak of a summer lull.
The last expansion was 2 months ago, the next is still 2 months ahead. But not everyone is done with everything yet and is just blasting through the game content out of boredom with the Destiny blues on their lips. There are also some latecomers who still have something ahead of them.
What Destiny players, regardless of their mood, will find this week is explained in our article about the Weekly Reset on July 14th.
Weekly Nightfall Strike goes to the Nexus
Sekrion awaits the Guardians. It is a No-Burn Nightfall, we haven’t had that in a while. Modifiers are Grounded, Brawler, and Angry. Guardian melee damage is increased, in the air you take more damage, and the enemies come without stopping.
Weekly Heroic Strike features Valus Ta’aurc.
The Cabal, affectionately called Rockets McDickface, is back again. Cerberus Vae III is his home. The modifier is Grounded – so no jumping around. With Solar Burn in recent weeks, the once tough opponent was a joke; let’s see how the Guardians find him without modifiers. A while ago, Bungie took away some of his health points.
Everything about the Prison of Elders starting from the week of July 14th
In the 32-entry, Kaliks Reborn awaits
Last week, he was responsible for the Guardians cleaning the floor of the 34 arena with their faces; now he is causing chaos in the 32 Prison of Elders: Kaliks Reborn – here is a guide to him
1. Cabal/Specialist – double special weapon damage
2. Fallen/Switch – enemies deal increased melee damage
3. Fallen/Airborne – players deal more damage when in the air
4. Fallen/Exposure – Guardian shields are increased but do not regenerate
5. Fallen/Grounded – players take more damage when in the air
In the 34-entry, there’s a reunion with Gulrot
The ogre, named after a Norwegian carrot, is roaming the 34 arena. And here is a guide to Gulrot.
- Vex/Airborne – Guardians deal increased damage when in the air
- Hive/Grounded – Guardians take increased damage when in the air
- Vex – Void-Burn
- Hive/Angry – the enemies cannot be stopped even by effect hits
- Hive/Exposure – Guardian shields are reinforced but do not regenerate
And once again Skolas
The new Skolas, who can no longer have a burn, has proven to be relatively disappointing thus far. In 4 IDs, there were only two different configurations of the modifiers (Small Arms/Lightswitch and Brawler/Juggler); today, this is what’s on:
Catapult and Angry – so there is indeed a different configuration.
And these are waves 1 – 5.
- Hive – Exposure/Brawler – Guardian shields are reinforced but do not regenerate/your melee damage is increased
- Vex – Ground/Airborne – Guardians deal more damage in the air but take much more
- Cabal – Catapult/Arc-Burn – grenade cooldown is lower, arc damage is significantly increased
- Fallen – Specialist/Juggler – special weapons deal double damage, enemies do not drop ammo for the weapon with which they were defeated
- Fallen – Rinnsal/Primary – abilities have an increased cooldown, damage with primary weapons is significantly increased
What does Variks have this week?
Variks is selling the sniper rifle and gloves this week.
- The Hunter variant has 106 intellect.
- The Warlocks have 114 discipline.
- The Titans 53 discipline and 53 strength.
The gloves have a chance to generate Orbs of Light when the wearer kills Fallen in melee. They increase grenade throw distance and decrease reloading speed on special weapons.
Tips, tricks, and guides?
Throughout the day, we will showcase videos of successful and interesting runs through this week’s challenges. You can pick up a few tips there. Not that you need it or anything.
Traditionally, Nexxoss and his crew take on the Nightfall. He does this in German with a slight Swiss accent, calm, relaxed, with Fatebringer, Efrideet’s Spear, and the weapon whose name shall not be spoken. The guide goes through the passages step by step, giving tips on safe spots and general behavior. Very worth watching.
