Destiny 2 Season of the Wish has gone live without increasing the overall power cap for Guardians. For this reason, several endgame modes, such as the Trials of Osiris and Grandmaster Nightfall, will be pushed ahead of schedule. This article focuses on the latter, as running the most challenging PvE content in the game is necessary for the Adept loots. The Grandmaster Nightfall Strikes in Season 23 will be kicking off on December 19, 2023.

Readers will find the release order of each Strike in the Grandmaster Nightfall pool for Season of the Wish below, alongside the possible weapons tied to each mission. Players with the Conqueror seal can gild it by completing all six Strikes this season. However, those without the seal will need to meet additional objectives.

The Nightfall pool in Destiny 2 Season of the Wish has six missions, all wielding different modifiers and rewards. Aside from a few bonuses, Bungie has also brought in new Strikes in the current season, starting from Week 4.

The following list includes the release dates and the order of all six Strikes:

  • Week 4 (December 19 to 26, 2023): Lake of Shadows
  • Week 5 (December 26, 2023 to January 2, 2024): The Corrupted
  • Week 6 (January 2 to 9, 2024): Heist Battleground: Moon
  • Week 7 (January 9 to 16, 2024): PsiOps Battleground: Cosmodrome
  • Week 8 (January 16 to 23, 2024): Birthplace of the Vile.
  • Week 9 (January 23 to 30, 2024): Hypernet Current

The rotation will again start from Lake of Shadows in Week 10 and go to the Hypernet Current in the season's final week. The Grandmaster Nightfall Strikes might be staying until June 2024, giving players every chance to acquire the Adept rewards they choose.

All six Strikes mentioned above will have different weapons tied to their loot pool. While the names of the weapons have been confirmed, it remains to be seen which specific Strikes hold a particular weapon as a drop.

Since the implementation of the 7.3.5 update, the list of weapons scheduled with a particular Nightfall Strike remains unknown.
