Every Tuesday welcomes a new weekly reset to Destiny 2, and here’s our breakdown of this week’s content for January 9, including the featured Nightfall weapon, Grandmaster, and Eververse Store offerings.
Season of the Wish has arrived introducing multiple new seasonal activities, awesome The Witcher-themed cosmetics, and a variety of new weapons for Guardians to hunt down.
As expected the new season continues Destiny’s weekly reset schedule with it remaining largely untouched. Even so, you’ll still need to keep on top of the weekly reset to make sure you are making the most of Destiny’s offerings.
