New Nightfall: Exciting Challenges and Rewards Await

As the calendar flips to January 10, 2025, Destiny 2 fans know it’s that time again. Another week means a fresh set of missions, challenges, and tantalizing rewards in the game. Excitement builds as Episode Revenant unlocks Act 3, promising thrilling new gear and the exotic mission Kell’s Fall. The pursuit of the coveted Slayer’s Fang slug shotgun is on!

But that’s not all the thrills from the Destiny universe this week. Fans were taken by surprise over the weekend with an unexpected update to the original Destiny. The Tower social space got a makeover with Ghost-shaped lights and decorations, reminiscent of The Dawning. As keen-eyed players investigated, they found these were remnants of a canceled 2017 event known as Days of the Dawning, accidentally brought back to life.

In Destiny 2, Act 3 isn’t the only attraction this week. The customary weekly reset brings a renewed lineup of activities and rewards, keeping Guardians busy. For those eager to dive into all the new content from January 7 onward, including Nightfalls, Crucible challenges, and more, here’s all the essential info.

One of the week’s highlights is the Nightfall Strike, “The Corrupted,” with its tiered modifiers to ramp up the challenge. From battling through increased shields and resistance to dealing with class-specific buffs, players have their work cut out for them.

The weekly reset also heralds the return of exotic missions, a chance for players to snag crafted versions of rare weapons. This week, the focus is on Operation Seraph Shield and the unique Revision Zero Exotic Pulse Rifle. Additionally, seasonal rotations like Raid and Dungeon challenges also keep the gameplay dynamic, with featured events like Garden of Salvation and Pit of Heresy.

Over at Xur’s shop, players will find a refreshed collection of exotic treats, weapons, and gear. Some of the highlight items are Chromatic Fire and the Hawkmoon Hand Cannon, alongside newer offerings like the intriguing Xurfboard vehicle.

Moreover, the Trials of Osiris, overseen by Saint-14, offers high-stakes PvP action with ample rewards and boasts a new map: Bannerfall, with Shayura’s Wrath (Adept SMG) up for grabs.

Destiny 2 continues to stay fresh and engaging, evolving with new expansions and content that test the skill and strategy of its player base. Dive into the action, gear up, and may your Guardian write a legendary chapter in the stars!
