In the MMO shooter Destiny, the weekly Nightfall strike starting from the week of April 21st takes place on Venus. Color is brought into the game.
In Destiny (PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One), a new week begins on Tuesdays at 11:00 AM. The activities that can only be rewarding once a week start anew here. However, it is recommended not to perform a “fluid switch”, but rather to log out and back in before starting the new activities. Otherwise, you might end up with nothing at the end of a run.
One of the interesting activities of the week is the Nightfall strike. A system-selected strike out of six is chosen: that counts for everyone. The selected strike then receives 5 modifiers, 2 of which are always the same. Completing it successfully grants a special bonus: players who complete the Nightfall receive 24.5% more experience and reputation for the rest of the week.
And there are lucrative rewards at the end, but usually not … This week it leads to Venus, where you face Aksor, the Archon Priest. It is a so-called Rainbow strike, all burns are active.
The modifiers for the Nightfall strike in the week of April 21st.
- Nightfall: If the whole team dies (1-3 Guardians), it goes back to orbit, the strike resets and must be started over.
- Epic: Like Tabasco on pizza, the Epic difficulty modifier gives the strike the necessary kick.
- Solar Burn: Everything that deals solar damage deals significantly more solar damage.
- Arc Burn: Arc damage is significantly increased.
- Void Burn: And the Void damage is more voidy than usual.
In the heroic Weekly, the little sister of the Nightfalls, Void Burn is active.
Are there tips for loadout?
- Primary Weapons: This might be a chance to use extraordinary weapons, dusting off the old solar favorites. For example, one could go for the Vex Mythoclast. Or you can rely on a Hand Cannon or another popular weapon with elemental damage.
- Special Weapons: Icebreaker or Black Hammer work well here. In Winter’s Run, there are some elevated sniper spots; these weapons are ideal for that.
- Heavy Weapons: The xxx-Horn or a worthy replacement like Crota’s Hunger could clean up here.
Are there safe spots or guides? What do you need to know about Aksor?
Throughout the day, we will present videos of particularly beautiful or interesting runs through Winter’s Run. Until then, you can find inspiration from our February article.
NexxosGaming navigates through Winter’s Run in a duo team. Relaxed, calm run, the important spots are explained, very pleasant to watch. For Aksor, there are the safe spots under the stairs and a warning about the ship.

And here is another 3-man run, without commentary. You can see that a generous use of heavy ammo synths with the rocket launcher whose name cannot be mentioned can bypass some game mechanics and also fix major mistakes by teammates.

Since some changes, the Nightfall has become extremely difficult for solo players, so we recommend looking for teammates. This article can help you with finding players.
