This is your Destiny 2 Weekly Reset for December 27 2022. It’s the final week of the Dawning 2022 and the last weekly reset for 2022. It’s been a roaster coaster ride since the Witch Queen expansion was released back in February. We’ve got some pretty good content and the Subclass 3.0 rework changed how we played our favorite subclasses. But at the same time, Destiny 2 burnout this time around hit harder than usual. Lightfall has definitely got its work cut out for it.
Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph Week 3 Story Recap
The time has come to awaken the Warmind. The first week of Operation: Seraph’s Shield saw us take the fight to Eramis and her Hive allies on the now overrun Seraph Station as we upload a virus to force a system reboot.
Destiny 2’s latest Exotic Quest is still very much ongoing though. The station yet still contains many secrets, and we’ll be uncovering them little by little in the coming weeks before the release of Lightfall.
As with the previous Exotic Quest, we are introduced to the new Revision Zero Exotic Pulse Rifle, a unique evolving weapon tied to the season’s weekly story. From our estimates, the final version of this craftable Exotic could be a real changer, if it’s not already. You also need this rifle to destroy 50 drones scattered around the system as part of your Seraph title.
On a story level, we have our reservations about any “gift” from Clovis Bray. But then again, we got the Lament from him too so it can’t be all bad, right? Either way, we might have a story to tell after this season and it’s all about Revision Zero.
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. (+1 hour for daylight savings).
Destiny 2 Weekly Activities December 27 – January 02 2023 Overview
The Dawning continues for its final week. So, bake those cookies and throw them snowballs before next week’s reset. At the same time, the seasonal quest also continues with another part of the station opening up. This is our chance to get the first catalyst for Revision Zero – the Frenzy Refit.
Next Trials of Osiris weekend sees Guardians earning bonus Trials Rank points. Hopefully, we’ll see fewer towering barricades and more run-and-gun stuff.
Where is Xur? December 30 2022
It’s that time of the week again when everyone in the Destiny 2 community asks the question – Where is Xur?
