Destiny: Weekly Twilight Strike, Prison of Elders and Variks on 28.7.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , a new week begins on Tuesday, July 28th: Variks has new items available, and the challenges for the week are set.

The MMO shooter Destiny relies on an ID system. Players can complete specific challenges once a week with each character, which then bring greater rewards. Every Tuesday at 11:00 AM, these challenges are reset. While previously it was only a heroic strike and its “elite version”, the Nightfall strike, with House of Wolves, the Prison of Elders and its vendor Variks have also been added.
