Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: New Nightfall, Challenges, and Rewards

As another week unfolds in Destiny 2, players can expect a fresh slate of missions, challenges, and rewards. This week, the spooky vibes of the annual Halloween event, the Festival of the Lost, return for a limited time.

The event features the beloved Haunted Sectors and the collection of pages for the Book of the Forgotten, but this year's iteration introduces exciting new elements. Among these is the Heavy Burst arc shotgun, Arcane Embrace, along with previous weapons that now come with revamped perks. Players can also acquire Destiny 2's exotic class armor without needing to engage in Dual Destiny, provided they have one Eerie Engram and 2,500 candy to trade with Eva.

In addition to the Halloween festivities, the weekly reset brings a host of refreshed content, activities, and rewards for players to pursue over the upcoming week. Here’s a comprehensive overview of everything new for the week of October 29, including Nightfalls, Crucible modes, and challenges.
