Weekly Destiny Update: Nightfall, Challenges, Rewards!

Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: December 24, 2024

Another week, another reset in Destiny 2, bringing fresh missions, challenges, and rewards. While the game navigates the interlude between acts, and addresses ongoing concerns regarding player count and in-game issues, The Dawning event continues, offering a final chance to bake cookies and earn rewards. Bungie has incorporated a community challenge, boosting the drop rate of three rare emblems, with over 3 million cookies baked for Commander Zavala at the time of this writing.
