Quick Navigation
Updated April 30, 2024: A new week has dawned for Destiny 2, signifying a refresh of missions, challenges, and rewards. Following Bungie’s announcement of the significant schedule shift for the Destiny 2‘s Into The Light event, this week introduces the final two BRAVE Arsenal weapons. Luna’s Howl, a hand cannon previously tied to a Season 4 Crucible quest named Remembrance, makes a comeback. The Blast Furnace pulse rifle, first launched during the Black Armory expansion pack in 2028, is also available.
Besides the introduction of new BRAVE weapons and their associated quests, this week’s reset also brings Pantheon, a fresh PvE activity that challenges players with a series of raid bosses. Bungie has stated that this activity will progressively increase in size and difficulty each week, starting with four bosses today and expanding to eight by May 21. Bungie is also promising substantial rewards for those who can conquer the challenge, including Adept raid gear, deepsight enabled raid weapons, and exotics. Data miners have potentially discovered five available exotics, namely Touch of Malice, Eyes of Tomorrow, One Thousand Voices, Conditional Finality, and Collective Obligation.
Along with the Into The Light update, the Destiny 2 weekly reset is back, continuing to provide updated weekly challenges, content, and rewards to pursue.
