Yo-ho-ho!The first week of Season 18 in Destiny 2 has ended and the Guardians have started hiring Eliksni Pirates for their crew. While the Drifter goes about his old ways in his new bar, Keepers can collect another relic this week. But before that, MeinMMO will give you an update on the new weekly challenges.
This is happening this week: After today’s weekly reset, the guardians and their crew are embarking on a new expedition to another destination in Destiny 2. The next relic of the antiquary must be found before Eramis grabs it and brings it to darkness and the witness.
While the guardians hunt for treasure, the vagabond enjoys a couple of bottles full of rum in his new bar and also gives you an extra bonus on the reputation rank in the Gambit chilled.
Lord Shaxx’s plan is to return the still young Rift mode, which you should now test and examine in the Crucible.
And in the throne world, “The Blade of Light” awaits you, so you can show the final boss Alak-Hul that he’s not the only one who can do something with Arkus 3.0 and also dust off his top loot.
But be careful with the top loot! If you still want to earn top loot, then follow our tip. Currently, deactivating items can cause you to level up more slowly. So don’t walk the plank and note the following:
The most important information about activities from 30.08 to 06.09.
Vanguard: Dawn – The Crucible
The Lightbladein Savathun’s throne world Players will battle the “Lightblade” in the Dusk Strike this week. He is considered to be Oryx’s potential successor and when he is angry, he can achieve a decent speed. Defeat him before he uses the light for the wrong purposes.
This week’s Dusk Weapon: As a reward for your run, you always get a special twilight weapon. And in Season 18, Bungie hid some really good treasures here.
In addition to the other twilight weapons in Season 18, “The Militia’s Birthright”, a small grenade launcher, and the shotgun “The Striving of the Thought Twister” are back in Destiny 2.
You will be able to earn the master version (Adept) from October 4th. Because then the level of difficulty “front runner” starts.
Playlist strikes have the following modifiers this week:
Solar Scorch
Stasis Burn
Grounded
The Singe modifier stays with you throughout the week, the others change daily.
Endgame: Raid challenges and dungeon rotation
That happens in the raid “The student’s oath“:
Complete the easiest challenge in the final encounter of the Vow of the Apprentice raid named this week “Loop Catalyst”. To complete the challenge, your team must maintain at least one stack of the Siphoning Power buff prior to the damage phase on Rhulk.
As a reward for completing the challenge in the final leg of the Grandmaster Raid, this week’s Grandmaster Raid has a chance at a master version of the Lubraes Ruin Glaive weapon, Insidious Pulse Rifle, or Forbearance Grenade Launcher. But keep in mind that hard and normal mode share the loot.
You get additional top rewards from the endgame:
In the Vex Raid “Garden of Salvation” on the moon.
As well as in the dungeon “Pit of Heresy” also on the moon.
