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

Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: December 24, 2024 - A Look at the New Content

Another week dawns in the world of Destiny 2, bringing a fresh wave of missions, challenges, and rewards. While the game navigates the period between major acts, and addresses ongoing concerns about player count and in-game issues, The Dawning event continues, offering players a final opportunity to bake cookies and claim rewards. Bungie has added a community challenge element, boosting the drop rate of three rare emblems. The impressive number of cookies baked for Commander Zavala—well over 3 million at last count—demonstrates the ongoing community engagement.
