Destiny 2 will enter another weekly reset in 2024, as players are keeping themselves busy with seasonal activities and core content in the game. The community returns to the usual loop of completing challenges, seasonal story content, and more every week. This article will list everything in the upcoming weekly reset in Season of the Wish.

Weekly resets are a big deal for the primary gameplay loop, as one rotation usually means a complete change of rewards for certain activities, items from vendors, and a change in activities as well.


All upcoming content with Destiny 2 weekly reset in Season of the Wish (April 30 to May 7)

Here is a short overview of all the activities in the coming reset of Season 23, followed by detailed pointers on each of them:

  • Luna's Howl and Blast Furnace returns with Brave arsenal
  • Iron Banner returns with Clash and Showdown
  • The Pantheon boss gauntlet event begins
  • Presage in Exotic rotator
  • The Corrupted Nightfall
  • Bonus Gambit ranks
  • Garden of Salvation and Spire of the Watcher in Raid and Dungeon rotator

1) The Corrupted Nightfall

The Corrupted Nightfall in Destiny 2 will return this season to enter the Grandmaster pool. Players worldwide can choose to run the mission in any difficulty they please, which will result in different rarities of weapon drops.

The Corrupted will have the following modifiers:

  • Overcharged Rocket Launcher
  • Solar and Stasis surges, with occasional Strand surges now and then
  • Epitaph, where Taken combatants spawn Blight Geysers after killed
  • Arc Threat for 25% increased incoming Arc damage
  • Overload and Unstoppable Champions

2) Crucible game modes

Clash will be the weekly featured game mode in the Crucible section, alongside Showdown. The latter is a traditional 6v6 mode, where the team with most kills wins a match.

Showdown, on the other hand, is similar to a traditional Trials of Osiris, where 6 players go against one another in a 3v3 mode to eliminate each other, and refund points by revival.


3) Iron Banner returns

Iron Banner returns in Season of the Wish with similar rewards, vendor drops, and game mode. Players will find the Control game mode after launching a match of Iron Banner, with a chance to acquire the "Iron Lord" seal as well. It is also the final chance for anyone looking to get an exclusive weapon before The Final Shape comes along.


3) Garden of Salvation and Spire of the Watcher

Garden of Salvation and Spire of the Watcher in Destiny 2 will become available in their respective rotators. All weapons will be available for farming from both activities. Players can farm each encounter of the Dungeon countless times even in Master difficulty for Artifice armor pieces. However, no single weapon can be targeted.


4) Bonus Gambit ranks

Completing each match of Gambit will grant increased rank toward Drifter's reputation. Each run will grant increased reputation EXP due to the streak.


5) Blast Furnace and Luna's Howl in the Brave arsenal

Blast Furnace Pulse Rifle is returning within the Into the Light activity, alongside the Luna's Howl Hand Cannon. These two iconic weapons are recommended for everyone to farm, as they will soon be two of the most powerful PvP Primary weapons in the game.


6) Pantheon begins

Pantheon is a boss gauntlet time-limited event starting from April 30, until the launch of The Final Shape on June 4. Here is the line-up of bosses and the required power level each week in Pantheon:

  • 1st week (April 30): Players will be five power levels lower than enemies. Golgoroth, Caretaker, Zo'aurc, and Atraks-1.
