It’s Friday again in Destiny 2. That means “shopping time” again for all keepers. Xur, the creepy but impressive alien brings his exotic goods to the players for the last time in Season 18, which might even be worth it this week.
What happened in Destiny 2 this week? The rumor mill starts bubbling again towards the end of Season 17. Leakers say Bungie plans to permanently remove the power level grind. You can find out here whether this will actually take place or whether it is just empty words.
In addition, Kevin Yanes, the Combat Design Lead, spoke up again. Many players once threatened him with murder when he announced that the Titans will not get their beloved Destiny 1 Exo back. Well, with Arkus 3.0 things are changing and it’s clear that Titan should have let the developer finish talking.
In addition, we have new details for Arkus 3.0. So if you want to know what new features each class will receive, you can find out more in our detailed post.

Trials of Osiris on 08/19 – 23.08. – Map, weapons and info
Which map is it this week? The so-called PvP trials always take place on a fixed map. This weekend you can also let off steam in it for the last time. Because the exams in the coming Season 18 will only start again on September 16th. So take the opportunity.
If you are interested in playing the Trials as a team, MeinMMO recommends the callout maps via Warmind. This gives your fireteam a good description of where the opponents are on the map, which is useful information for the whole team.
How to get your loot: The Trials of Osiris feature a reputation ranking system. Your top loot reward from PvP matches is currently for:
This is the reward for a flawless run: Every week, a very special weapon awaits you on the lighthouse, which you get as a master version for your flawless run, i.e. 7 victories. You can earn the weapon until next Tuesday, August 9th at 7:00 p.m.
All Trials weapons have a Trials origin perk: Haste – Improves reload, stability, aim assist, and range when you’re the last member of your fireteam alive or fighting alone.
Once you have obtained your desired weapon, you can target your testing engrams at Saint-14 specifically to your desired weapon. On top there are Enhancement Prisms and Ascendant Fragments. Keep in mind that once you have a complete pass, your reward increases even more – even if you lose a game or two.
When do the trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris begins today, August 5th at 7:00 p.m. and ends with the Weekly Reset, August 16th at 7:00 p.m.
