This is our Destiny 2 weekly reset article for the week of April 04, 2023. The season quest may be done for right now but give it some time as Bungie usually have another tidbit that sets up the events for the next season. In the meantime, we’ll go over all the weekly challenges as well as updates to weekly activities and the latest on Eververse store offerings.
Destiny 2 Weekly Reset Time
As always, the Destiny 2 weekly reset times are 10 AM PDT for the folks on the West Coast of the US. 6 AM BST for our readers in Britain. And 2 AM JST the following day for everyone in Japan.
Destiny 2 Weekly Activities April 04 – April 10 2023 Overview
After a week away from the spotlight, Iron Banner returns for the second time this season. This week sees the return of Iron Banner Eruption! This fan-favorite mode was the lightning in the bottle that breathed new life into a once-stale Iron Banner event. If you haven’t already gotten the new Iron Banner weapons this season, here’s your chance to do so.
- Bite of the Fox God Roll – Iron Banner Season 20 Guide
- Jorums Claw God Roll – Iron Banner Season 20 Guide
This week also sees The Drifter giving additional ranks in the Gambit playlist mode. Since the start of Lightfall, Gambit has somehow found a way to go even lower in the eyes’ of Guardians. It doesn’t matter if it’s the numerous cheese strategies or the Winterbite exploit a few weeks that utterly melted bosses, Gambit is not fun for many Guardians. Let’s hope the additional ranks spark new life into the game mode.
Where is Xur? April 07 2023
It’s that time of the week again when everyone in the Destiny 2 community asks the question – Where is Xur?
This weekend Xur can be found hanging around his favorite branch overlooking the Watcher’s Grave on Nessus. Once you’re planet-side, head North along the cliff face, and once you start seeing the roots, go up to reach Xur.

Destiny 2 Nightfall This Week April 04 – April 10 2023
The Lake of Shadows will be the featured Nightfall mission for the week. The mission is going to see a refresh of sorts this season. Expect some twists and turns much in the same way The Arms Dealer mission received.
The Lake of Shadows is one of the oldest strikes in Destiny 2, so we can’t wait to see what changes they have in store for the EDZ strike.
Nightfall weapon this week
This week’s featured Nightfall weapon is going to be the reprised ‘The Swarm’ legendary machine gun. The weapon itself was OK when it was first released so we’re hoping that it can get a second chance for a fresh start like the Buzzard Sidearm.
Destiny 2 Crucible Featured Game Mode April 04 2023
This week, Lord Shaxx has authorized the return of Mayhem to the Crucible. As the name suggests, this game mode is chaos incarnate. With cooldowns lowered to nearly zero, this mode is all about spam and letting off some steam after a session in Competitive.
Destiny 2 Featured Raid and Dungeon April 04 – April 10 2023
This week sees the reprieved King’s Fall raid as the featured raid for the week. Turn back the clock to face Oryx, the Taken King, once again in Destiny 2. This has been a favorite among Guardians since the days of Destiny 2, and for good reason.
King’s Fall Raid Challenges
- The Grass is Always Greener: Done during the Totem encounter, the challenge asks Guardians to not take the same buff type two times in a row.
- Devious Thievery: Done during the Warpriest encounter, this challenge gives Guardians 5 seconds to swap buffs after swiping the Taken Knight’s Buff Claimer.
- Gaze Amaze: Done during the Golgoroth encounter, it requires the gaze holder to stand in the Pool of Unclaimed Light when swapping the gaze to another Guardian.
- Under Construction: Done during the Daughters encounter, the challenge requires Guardians to not stand on the same plate twice throughout the entire encounter.
- Hands Off: Done during the Oryx encounter, raiders must not kill the same Ogre or Light-Eater Knight throughout the whole encounter.
Additionally, this week’s featured Dungeon is going to be Prophecy. Enter the realm of the Nine and question: “What is the nature of the Darkness?”
And as usual, completing these featured content will reward you with pinnacle gear.
