earthpressnews

In Destiny 2, the so-called “Weekly Reset” is the event, marking the start of a new week in Bungie’s Free2Play shooter. In this article we take a closer look at the latest updates and changes coming with the weekly reset on April 18th.

This is happening this week: Once Destiny 2 completes the Weekly Reset tonight, players will face some changes. Not only are the weekly activity rotations coming up, but the Midseason Update was rolled out today.

  • The update includes a large amount of weapon tuning for PvE and PvP, Crucible playlist changes, a new Crucible division emblem, matchmaking tuning and much more.

    • MeinMMO has listed some of the most important changes included in Midseason Update 7.0.5 in this update article:

    Destiny 2: Server Down for Midseason Update 7.0.5 on 4/18 – All times and information

    Below we take a closer look at the changing activities and challenges this week and what players can expect.

    The most important information about activities from 18.04. until 25.04

    Vanguard: Dawn – The Crucible

  • “Mars: battlefield”
  • The Mars: Battlegrounds is the first seasonal activity to make it into the Nightfall Strikes. In Escalation Protocol 2.0 you have many enemies, you get scorched with lasers and you end up locked in a room with a horde of enemies. So the challenge is there, even if Bungie is making it a little easier for you this week with Update 7.0.5.

    • Earn the Dusk Weapon this week: The Mind Twister’s Pursuit shotgun is available in Dusks as a master reward.

    Endgame: Raid challenges and dungeon rotation

    Farmable endgame in weekly rotation: In the further endgame the legacy rotations are waiting. Both the rotation raid and the rotation dungeon are farmable. This means you can complete the individual encounters again and again to get a wide variety of items and complete your collection. Including possible exotics obtainable in this content.

  • The weekly legacy raid is the “Garden of Salvation” with the “Divinity”
  • In addition, in the dungeon “Duality” there is extra top loot and the sword “Heart Shadow”
    • You can get this noble exotic this week in the raid rotation

    Bungie will continue to expand these activity rotations of content from Season 22 onwards. Then players can play not only raids and dungeons as “legacy”, but also old exotic missions.

    Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity:

  • Lord Shaxx has revised his overview for you and offers “Zone Control” and “Dynamic Control”.

    • Where’s a bonus this week?

  • Bungie packs a bonus for you this week on the Crucible ranks. So you can level up faster and grab engrams and resets and grab the loot there.

    • Weekly Activities

    With the weekly reset on April 18th, a number of activities and challenges have been updated again, giving players a variety of rewards and progression, and making them better Guardians through repetition.

    Lightfall – Weekly campaign mission

  • “First contact”
  • In the First mission, you make first contact and meet Strang for the first time as you roam Neomuna with your Guardian. Strang is the new subclass of Lightfall, and then there’s something else you need to do…

    • Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

    So if you still need Triumphs from the Dreaming City, then watch out. The Corruption reveals new approaches with a sip of “Queen’s Leaves Tincture”.

  • Petra Venj has the 2nd Ascendant Challenge for you this week. You can find Petra and her quest offering at The Shore location in the Dreaming City. This is where Savathun has a hand, as the curse begins to take hold of the Awakened Holy City at level 1 again.

    • All sources for pinnacle loot in Destiny 2 Season 20

    So that you know where you can effectively grab your top loot, we offer you a quick overview of activities every week.

    This is the new max level: In the new Season of Resistance (Season 20), the power level increases drastically. The maximum power level of your equipment at 1,810. This means that the power level at the start of the new Season 20 has increased by +210 compared to the previous Season 19.

  • In Lightfall Season 20, Guardians start at power level 1600.
  • The soft cap is 1750.
  • The powerful cap at 1800.
  • With top loot you can bring yourself to the hard cap of 1810.
