Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: December 24, 2024

Another week, another Destiny 2 reset! This week sees the continuation of The Dawning event, alongside the usual rotation of activities and challenges. The game currently sits between narrative acts, and while the ongoing Dawning event provides festive fun, the community is also grappling with concerns about declining player counts, stemming from recent bugs, controversies, and general gameplay issues.

This guide details all the refreshed content for the week of December 23rd, covering Nightfalls, Crucible modes, challenges, and more.
