In the MMO shooter Destiny , the reset on Tuesday, June 2nd, brings a new weekly Nightfall strike, a heroics strike, a fresh rotation for the Prison of Elders, and new rewards.
Tuesdays in Destiny have changed significantly with the release of House of Wolves. We at Mein MMO will adapt to this and handle the article on the weekly reset similar to Xur: We will bring the article relatively early and then gradually feed it with information.
In recent months, players have mostly wanted to know: Where is the new Nightfall strike going, what modifiers are active? And do you have any tips? Today, there is a significantly larger demand for information in Destiny. We will address this, hopefully to satisfy it.
The weekly Nightfall strike on June 2nd
The Nightfall this week is against the Archon Priest Aksor.
The modifiers for the Nightfall in the week of June 2nd are:
- Nightfall – If the entire fireteam dies, it goes back to orbit
- Epic – significantly increases the difficulty.
- Arc Burn – Arc damage significantly increased
- Solar Burn – Solar damage significantly increased
- Small Arms – Primary weapon damage is doubled
The weekly heroics strike is against Omnigul
This week, the heroics strike is against Omnigul
The modifiers for the weekly heroics strike are:
- Heroics
- Brawler – greatly increases guardians’ melee damage.
The Prison of Elders in the week starting June 2nd
The 32 version – Qodron
The 32 version is already known here. This is Qodron with the same waves as last time:
- Vex/Catapult – grenades have a significantly lower cooldown
- Vex – Void Burn
- Fallen/Brawler – Guardians deal increased melee damage
- Vex/Small Arms – primary weapon damage doubled
- Vex/Trickle – ability cooldown increased
The 34 version – Kaliks Reborn
The 34 version should, if everything goes right, lead against a Fallen boss and be the last new variation of the Prison of Elders. This should be a Servitor named Kaliks, who will be waiting for the players at the end.
- Cabal/Specialist – special weapon damage doubled
- Fallen/Switch – enemies deal increased melee damage
- Fallen/Airborne – players deal more damage while in the air
- Fallen/Exposure – guardians’ shields are increased but do not regenerate
- Fallen/Grounded – players take more damage while in the air
The 35 version Skolas
Arc Skolas and Solar Skolas have been seen before. The first 5 will probably remain the same; only the boss changes.
Update: It seems that it is not, as initially thought, the melee damage that is increased, but rather a Void Burn on Skolas himself, active in the 6th round.
What does Variks sell new?
Variks sells this week a helmet (a different version for each class) and a pulse rifle.
Tips, tricks, and videos on current challenges
Throughout the day, we will upload videos and ideas for the individual activities. These can serve as sources of inspiration for how to tackle the challenges this week.
This is how the Nightfall goes on June 2nd
Nexxos relies on an Arc scout rifle in the Nightfall to benefit from the extremely strong bonuses that are active this week. Essentially, he doesn’t need any snipers or heavy weapons here, but does almost everything with the scout – due to the increased primary damage, this is a relatively easy strike this time. For the final boss Aksor, it goes back to the cautiously enjoyable safe spot under the stairs.
Mini-guide for Skolas with Void Burn in the Prison of Elders
Skolas is coming today on June 2nd with Void Burn. The tactic is the same as last week, only that you don’t use Arc sniper rifles, but Void sniper rifles like Praedyth’s Revenge. And then use weapons of light and the 35% damage in the bubble and go for it, in between have a special synthesis snack and maybe send the hunter on a mine hunt.
The new boss Kaliks Reborn in the 34 Prison of Elders
The new boss in the 34 Prison of Elders is Kaliks Reborn. According to all statements from guardians, it is probably the easiest variation so far. Because Kaliks regenerates health points, but it doesn’t really help him.
Important: This evening, on June 2nd, a patch is scheduled to be deployed. This will happen between 5 and 6 PM our time. There will be interruptions to the connection, they say. Patch notes are not available yet, it will be Patch 1.2.0.2.
