January 10, 2025 Update: It’s been an exciting week for Destiny 2 fans because the game has hit yet another weekly reset, bringing about new missions, challenges, and rewards. The much-anticipated Episode Revenant is now moving into Act 3. Alongside fresh gear and intriguing content, Act 3 introduces a captivating exotic mission named Kell’s Fall, which unlocks the exceptional slug shotgun, Slayer’s Fang.
Over the past weekend, Destiny aficionados received an unexpected treat. The original Destiny game experienced an accidental update. Players noticed that the Tower was festively decorated with Ghost-shaped lights, resembling decorations from The Dawning event. Fans speculate these decorations were initially meant for a canceled 2017 event known as Days of the Dawning, which seemed to have quietly lingered within the game’s files.
Now, with Act 3 in full swing, the weekly Destiny 2 reset is offering players a renewed chance to dive into refreshed content and pursue new activities and rewards over the next seven days. Here’s a detailed rundown of everything available for the week starting January 7, including Nightfalls, Crucible modes, and more.
