The final week before the release of Season 18 begins in Destiny 2, so before you get sweaty and get ready, let’s show you what’s in store for the final week.
This is happening this week: There is only one week between you and Season 18. So in order to be perfectly prepared for the new season, you now have the last chance to bag and stash challenges and resources.
This week, Bungie is offering you the chance to earn bonus ranks in almost every activity. These include Gambit, Crucible, and Vanguard. So if you’re missing one or the other season ornament for the “Chain of Command” machine gun, it’s best to get started.
In addition, today’s weekly reset could also include a surprise before the new season begins. Joe Blackburn, Bungie’s Game Director, insisted on it and already cryptically spoiled it today:
Can’t overstate the importance of the earlier seasonal work in learning how to make the live game. Lots of cool seeds were made in Season of the Worthy [Season 10] planted, who knows where they might lead!
wrote Joe Blackburn via twitter
As a reminder, in Season 10, the Guardians had to hunt down a Psion Flayer in a desperate bid for revenge against the Last City. They had help from the warm spirit Rasputin.
The most important information about activities from 16.08 to 23.08.

Sources of pinnacle loot in Destiny 2 Season 17
This is the new max level: In the new season of the haunted, the maximum power level of your gear is 1,570. This means that the power level at the start of the new season 17 has increased by +10 power levels compared to the previous season 16. All players have also been raised to the base power level of 1350.
If you want to level up quickly, you can also play the Legendary Campaign of the Witch Queen expansion and get 1,530 on completion and get a new exotic.
This top loot (Pinnacle Gear) takes your power level above 1,560:
Bright Dust Highlights in Eververse
Last but not least is the view into the Eververse. This week we have a cool ornament for the No Time to Explain Pulse Rifle.
If you don’t like the ornament, you can of course spend your luster dust, the in-game currency, on it:
Too little shine dust? If you are not one of the frugal keepers in Destiny 2 who never spend bright dust, then we have a few tips for you.
Destiny 2: This is how you can quickly get shiny dust in 2022 – because if you don’t want to spend real money, you have to farm
