Every Tuesday welcomes a new weekly reset to Destiny 2, and here’s our breakdown of this week’s content, including the featured Nightfall weapon, GM Nightfall, and Eververse Store items.

Echoes Act 3 is here, bringing with it more seasonal content, and concluding the ongoing storyline. That’s in addition to the Exotic quest for Choir of One, a Void Auto Rifle that is perfect for Titan mains.

As expected, the update also continues Destiny’s long-running schedule. There haven’t been too many weekly activities introduced in Episode: Echoes, but the new season has triggered a fresh rotation, which you’ll need to be aware of.

Not keeping track of the weekly reset could see you miss out on limited-time rewards, rare Eververse offerings, and even exclusive Exotics from this week’s Dungeon and Raid.

Weekly Reset time

The next weekly reset will happen on Tuesday, September 24, at 5 PM GMT/10 AM PT/1 PM ET. You’ll want to complete all of the featured content you are interested in before then, as it will rotate out after and may not return for several weeks.

This week’s featured Nightfall is Heist Battleground: Europa. Each week, a new Nightfall is featured that has different champions, modifiers, and rewards. This Nightfall is featured across Advanced, Expert, Master, and Grandmaster difficulties, with each getting gradually more difficult.
