New Nightfall, Challenges, and Rewards

Updated April 30, 2024: Another week has come for Destiny 2, which means missions, challenges, and rewards have been reset. After Bungie announced the big Destiny 2‘s Into The Light event schedule change, this week sees the final two BRAVE Arsenal weapons becoming available. This week sees the return of Luna’s Howl, a hand cannon once locked behind a Season 4 Crucible quest called Remembrance. Lastly is the Blast Furnace pulse rifle, originally introduced during the Black Armory expansion pack back in 2028

In addition to new BRAVE weapons and their related quests, the weekly reset this week also sees the arrival of Pantheon, a new PvE activity that pits players against a gauntlet of raid bosses. According to Bungie, this activity will increase in scale and difficulty each week, with four bosses starting today and evolving to include 8 by May 21. Bungie is also offering big rewards for those who are able to overcome the challenge, highlighting Adept raid gear, deepsight enabled raid weapons, as well as exotics. In fact, dataminers have potentially uncovered 5 available exotics, such as Touch of Malice, Eyes of Tomorrow, One Thousand Voices, Conditional Finality, and Collective Obligation.
