In a recent post, Bungie also laid out a few other items which will no longer be obtainable once season 4 comes to an end. Outside of a few Iron Banner triumphs, the Vanguard and Crucible have seasonal triumphs related to hitting a specific rank. When season 4 ends, the ranks are reset which means many players will need to begin the long climb once more. Players grinding for the Luna’s Howl and Not Forgotten hand cannon weapons will also want to finish up prior to the end of season 4 as both weapons have specific rank requirements in order to unlock.
In addition to fighting other players in the Iron Banner, the Destiny 2 weekly reset has finally arrived to further freshen up the experience. For a complete look at all of the new missions, Nightfalls, Crucible modes, and challenges, make sure to consult our weekly guide below.
Nightfall Strike Details
Nightfall Strike Options: Warden of Nothing, Strange Terrain, The Inverted Spire
For the first time in a while, fans now have three new Nightfall choices this week. The Inverted Spire is the classic Nightfall option, while Forsaken owners also get the Warden of Nothing option as well. The Nightfall mission that most players have been waiting for, Strange Terrain, has finally arrived giving many the chance to finally complete the Destinations Triumph and earn the Wayfarer title.
Each option starts at a recommended power level of 540, so players may want to grind for new gear a bit before taking on these missions. Keep in mind that players can only select a Nightfall from expansions they already own, so The Inverted Spire will be the only option for non-expansion owners.
Nightfall Challenges:
Equipment Locked: Once the mission starts, players can no longer switch their currently equipped gear. Extinguish: Once a fireteam dies in a restricted zone, they’re returned to orbit.
Nightfall Exclusive Rewards:
Warden of Nothing - Warden’s Law kinetic hand cannon. Strange Terrain - BrayTech Osprey rocket launcher. The Inverted Spire - Trichromatica ghost shell.
Flashpoint Location
Flashpoint Location: Io
The refresh cycle continues this week, placing the Flashpoint on Jupiter’s moon Io. Fill the progression meter by taking part in Public Events, finishing Heroic adventures, and clearing out Lost Sectors. Consult our heroic modifier guide for public events to help finish this a bit faster.
Once 100% has been reached, visit Ashir Mir next to the fast travel point in The Rupture to claim the powerful reward for the week.

Tower Objectives and World Bounties
With the reset here, the weekly bounties from many of the Vendors in game have also been restocked. Let’s have a quick look:
Tess Everis continues to have her set of daily Eververse Bounties as well as a special weekly in exchange for glimmer that awards a Prismatic Facet instead of bright dust. Keep in mind that for players with 3 Prismatic Facets, no more can be held so make sure to use them before completing the new weekly bounty from Eververse. Suraya Hawthorne also has her daily clan and raid bounties players can pick up, which go towards finishing her weekly clan XP challenge. Right next door to Suraya is Ikora Rey, who awards powerful gear each week for players that complete 20 bounties. Players have plenty of options for completing this including Shaxx, The Drifter, and Zavala with their usual associated game mode bounties as well. Forsaken players can visit The Spider at the Tangled Shore as his weekly Wanted bounties have been refreshed. This week, the Powerful Reward bounty is a new one this week with The Eye in the Dark on Mars. Visit The Dreaming City and Petra Venj for weekly and daily bounties offering powerful rewards, Dark Fragments, and more.
And that’s all for this week. Good luck, Guardians!
