BungieEvery Tuesday welcomes a new weekly reset in Destiny 2, seeing the game’s featured content rotate, including the active Nightfall, Eververse Store offerings, and more.
Episode Heresy is here, bringing with it more seasonal content, including new weapons, The Nether activity, and a range of balance changes that look to keep the meta feeling fresh.
Not keeping track of the weekly reset could see you lose out on limited-time rewards, rare Eververse offerings, and even exclusive Exotics from this week’s Dungeon and Raid rotation, so here’s this week’s reset information to make sure you don’t miss out.
What time is the Destiny 2 weekly reset?
The next weekly reset will happen on Tuesday, May 9, at 5 PM UTC.
You’ll want to complete all of the featured content you are interested in before then, as it will rotate out after and may not return for several weeks.

DexertoComplete Nightfall runs on any difficulty to potentially earn it as a drop, or focus rolls at Commander Zavala for either 5 Vanguard Engrams and x25,000 Glimmer or 3 Vanguard Engrams and 1 Nightfall Cipher (Adept).
Those wanting to farm a god roll without spending resources will need to complete the featured Nightfall on higher difficulties, as this week’s weapon is much more likely to drop on Master and Grandmaster than it is on Advanced and Expert runs.
