Every Tuesday welcomes a new Destiny 2 weekly reset, and here’s our breakdown of this week’s content, including the featured Nightfall weapon, GM Nightfall, and Eververse Store items.
Episode Revenant is here, bringing with it more seasonal content, including new weapons, potion crafting, and the Vesper’s Host dungeon for guardians to explore.
As expected, the update also continues Destiny’s long-running schedule. There haven’t been too many weekly activities introduced this season, but the update has triggered a fresh rotation, which you’ll need to be aware of.
Not keeping track of the weekly reset could see you lose out on limited-time rewards, rare Eververse offerings, and even exclusive Exotics from this week’s Dungeon and Raid rotation, so here’s this week’s reset information to make sure you don’t miss anything.
What time is the Destiny 2 weekly reset?
The next weekly reset will happen on Tuesday, November 5, at 5 PM UTC.
You’ll want to complete all of the featured content you are interested in before then, as it will rotate out after and may not return for several weeks.
