At 7 p.m. sharp, Destiny 2 rolls out its weekly reset, which is a little special at the same time. On September 6, 2017, the servers of the loot shooter and successor to Destiny 1 were activated for the first time. Since then, guardians have populated the worlds of Destiny 2. MeinMMO tells you where you can make it safe again this week and what’s on offer.
Destiny 2 will probably not celebrate today’s birthday in the game. Bungie just keeps pushing its milestones and welcoming new Guardians to the Cosmodrome every day. The last expansion “The Witch Queen” already had over 1 million pre-orders. The upcoming Lightfall DLC is on track to top that. It has topped the Steam sales chart since its release. (as of September 4th via. SteamDB)
Still, the years have changed Destiny 2. Destiny 1 had amazing content. But Destiny 2’s overall upgrades with class abilities, customization, and quality of life are just plain better. Both the optics and the engine have now been heavily polished by Bungie. However, the developer is also in the process of preparing the beginning of the end and the beginning of a great Destiny universe.
This is happening this week: For the Guardians, however, it’s Iron Banner this week. Valus Forge, formerly Lord Saladin Forge, is about to erupt. That’s what Bungie calls the new PvP mode in Season 18, which you can try out tonight as a deadly pack of wolves in the Iron Banner.
Players can also earn some pinnacle gear in the free Prophecy dungeon. Where else there are, we’ll tell you now.
For those eager to get a sneak peek into the modern future of Destiny 2 beforehand, here’s a sneak peek at the new content for Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans.
The most important information about activities from 06.09 to 13.09.

This week’s Dusk Weapon: As a reward for your run, you always get a special twilight weapon. In Season 18, Bungie has a few good options here.

Bright Dust Highlights in Eververse
This week in Eververse, you can be bitten by a small, venomous snake and shop for the Snake Bite weapon ornament, adorned with digital snakeskin leather, for the exotic Huckleberry submachine gun.
If that doesn’t appeal to you, you can of course spend your luster dust, the in-game currency you can earn, on other things.
