Unleash Your Destiny 2 Potential with Weekly Challenges & Rewards

Updated on May 23, 2023, the latest reset for Destiny 2 has brought a plethora of missions, challenges, and rewards for players to enjoy. With the annual Guardian Games event and Season of Defiance now over, players can dive into the highly anticipated Season of the Deep. This season promises big changes to the game, including weapon tweaks, balancing efforts, and updates to subclasses and perks.

Bungie has also released a new trailer for the Season of the Deep, giving fans a closer look at the story elements. The trailer reveals that Titan is making a comeback, and players will explore the Methane Ocean to meet with Deputy Commander Sloane, who has been corrupted by the Taken, and a colossal sea creature. Players can take on underwater missions, earn Taken-style weapons, and even go fishing.

In addition to the new seasonal content, the latest reset includes updated weekly challenges, content, and rewards for players to pursue. This includes Nightfalls, Crucible modes, and challenges. Here is everything players need to know about the new content available for the week of May 23.

Weekly Nightfall and Modifiers

Nightfall Strike: The Devil's Lair introduces a set of challenging Hero and Legend modifiers to test your skills. The Hero modifiers include Barrier and Overload Champions, as well as Extra Shields in the forms of Arc, Solar, and Void. Watch out for the Arach-NO! modifier, which spawns web mines when Fallen Vandals are defeated. Combatants will also have more health and be more difficult to stun due to the Galvanized modifier. Use Linear Fusion Rifles and Kinetic Weapons with active Surge elements to take advantage of the Overcharge modifier. And beware of the Threat: Arc Surge: Strand modifier. For even greater difficulty, try the Legend version of the Nightfall Strike, which includes all the previous modifiers and the Equipment Locked modifier, preventing you from changing equipment once the mission begins.

Master Modifiers now include all previous modifiers with the addition of impaired regeneration and the possibility of creating wells of Light upon defeating enemies. Prepare for a challenge with Locked Loadout, Extra Champions, and Extra Shields.

To earn a pinnacle reward, aim for a 200K score. The Nightfall Weapon is yet to be determined.

In Vanguard Ops, the Elemental Modifier is Arc Surge.
