In the MMO shooter Destiny , the weekly Nightfall strike this week is against the massive Hydra Sekrion in the Nexus.
Although we’ve been saying it regularly since last week, some were surprised again today that the new ID didn’t start at 10:00 AM, as it has for the past months, but at 11:00 AM. This is because the Bungie servers are completely independent of daylight saving time. They simply don’t care. In the “summer,” Xur and the Nightfall come at 11:00 AM; in the “winter,” at 10:00 AM.
This week, the Nightfall, the weekly dusk strike, is in the Nexus, going against Sekrion, which is a Vex strike. There aren’t any major peculiarities: Voidburn is in effect, so it’s a pretty standard strike.
The modifiers for the weekly Nightfall strike on March 31.
- Nightfall – If all Guardians die, Destiny returns the fireteam to orbit, and they must try again from the beginning
- Epic – Enemies are harder than in Heroic, so the Nightfall is considered a challenge
- Juggler – When enemies die, they do not drop ammunition for the weapon that killed them
- Angry – Enemies show no mercy and cannot be halted
- Voidburn – Void damage, both from the Guardians and the enemies, is significantly increased
In the Heroic Weekly, this week in Destiny Juggler is in effect, no burn active.
What arsenal is recommended for the Nightfall?
As a primary weapon, we can recommend Crota’s End.
For special weapons, the shotgun Breakneck might be worth a look, it may lead to many tears and frustration, but you get to know the Nexus up close. A safe bet are Void sniper rifles like Efrideet’s Spear or Praedyth’s Revenge. Also, weapons like Black Spindle can be deadly in the strike, especially against Sekrion itself.
In the “Heavy Weapon” category, the “Truth” comes out on top. But even Void machine guns like Corrective Measure or MG18A Harm’s Way can do well here.
Are there any tips, tricks, guides, safe spots for the strike against Sekrion?
Throughout the day, we will showcase videos of particularly successful or inspiring runs. These usually include safe spots and tricks, as well as interesting weapon combinations.
If you can’t wait: Here’s a link to an earlier Sekrion Void Nightfall where you can find videos and see how the pro Guardians did it back then.
As in the past weeks, the run will be made by Nexxosgaming. They are two players. He relies on Crota’s End, the Void sniper Sovereignty from the first and only Queen’s event and on a customized Jolder’s Hammer with Void damage. Quite an exquisite choice. He also plays with a Voidwalker in the Obsidian Mind combination: This makes the strike play smoothly.

Close and hard in this round with three Titans. Shotguns, bubbles, and fists are in play: A different experience: More of the “In Your Face” kind.

Since a change a few months ago, the Nightfall in Destiny is extremely difficult for solo players. If you are looking for a group, we recommend our article on how to find German-speaking players in Destiny.
