New Nightfall: Challenges and Rewards Update

Sure, I can do that! Here’s the rewritten article:

Okay, so it’s Friday or maybe it’s Tuesday, I don’t know. Time doesn’t make sense anymore, and Destiny 2’s weekly reset just hit us again. You know the drill — missions, challenges, and all that jazz reset. Big day for Destiny fans though. Bungie spilled the beans on this grand "Year of Prophecy" thingy for Destiny 2. Starts July 15 with "The Edge of Fate" expansion. Kepler planetoid here we come! Sounds fancy, right?

And don’t even start about The Edge of Fate. Not the only shiny new toy they’re teasing, oh no. Bungie’s dangling more bait — throw in the Renegade expansion in there for good measure. And can we talk about this roadmap? I mean, like a bunch of updates just lined up, ready to pounce.

Flash forward to Bungie Showcase: wham, bam, new features like Portal, Solo Ops, and Armor 3.0. I mean, good golly, which wizard brainstormed that lineup? Seriously, Solo Ops is probably the lifeline some of us casual players need.

Meanwhile, boom! That weekly reset in Destiny 2 barges in, leveling the playing field with fresh goodies, activities, and loot hunting. Dare I ask, have you looked at all the new shenanigans for May 6? If not, here’s your cheat sheet.

Weekly Nightfall & Modifiers:

Nightfall Strike this week? It’s "Warden of Nothing." Sounds ominous. But here’s the twist — Advanced Modifiers are on full blast, and you’ve got Champions with all sorts of blocks, Extra Shields, and some weird Galvanized thing making enemies robust and probably extra grumpy.

Oh, rocket launchers are like, having a moment if your subclass syncs with a Surge element. Various kinds of threats — Solar to Surge — darting around like fireflies on a summer night. "Empath" is active. Radar’s all keen but hey, more face-punching damage on the down low.

Expert Mode just cranks the dial. Oh, and you won’t be swapping gear mid-mission. It’s locked. Random Banes join the wild parade, plus more shields for good luck.

Master Mode doesn’t play. Previous modifiers remain. Plus, add agitators like Locked Loadout, Extra Champions, and yes — more Extra Shields. Master might as well moonwalk you into a dance-off with chaos. Hit the Grandmaster level if you dare. It’s practically raining grenades then!

Skipped lunches for this update: "Lotus Eater," the Legendary Sidearm. Go get it if you fancy. Enough talking about it.

Episode: Heresy & Nightfalls Challenges:

Challenges, anyone? Defeat Dread, pop shields like bubble wrap in Vanguard, get comfy in the Pale Heart. Got those subclass milestones for folks loving Arc, Strand, or Void gear. Oh, and if you’re up for it, attack those higher Nightfalls with a vengeance for extra kudos.

Exotic Mission Rotation:

Players are getting nostalgic with exotic missions up for grabs like Runway hit consignment sales. Jackpot? “Starcrossed” mission featuring Wish-keeper Bow. Looms like a hero story, whether true or not.

Raid and Dungeon Love:

It’s like Tina Turner’s "What’s Love Got To Do With It", but with Raids and Dungeons! Mix of King’s Fall and Garden of Salvation are like this week’s prime-time sitcom lineup. Dive into The Shattered Throne or take on Duality if you’re so inclined.

Raid Challenges:

Throw down with Salvation’s Edge challenges — you know, Scenic Route and Deep Stone Crypt things, copies here and there. Looping Catalysts for those seeking high-octane thrills. Vault of Glass has “Strangers in Time” to tinker with.

Gambit and Other Rituals:

Nothing screams weekend vibes quite like trials, Crucible antics, or Gambit fun. Engage Pathfinder whodunits, nab those rewards. Some linger in Legacy activities — Europa and beyond offer timeless pursuits from The Moon to Dreaming City. Curse levels and all.

Xur’s Garage Sale:

Xur pops by on weekends. Dude’s like a cosmic yard sale, otherworldly wares from armor pieces to fusion rifles. Always expect the unexpected — from Exotic Ciphers to Glimmer and a random bag of treats.

Trials Awaits… Or Does It?

Saint-14 hosts Trials of Osiris with rewards if your playlist gets that "Holy Grail" win streak. But not this week friend! Instead, it’s a heavy metal party. Rock on.

So that’s the scoop, more or less. I didn’t dress it up too much, mostly because… why bother? You get it — just like my morning blur of cold coffee and existential dread between game resets. Anyway, no more story-time ramble. Get in there and game on!
