Destiny 2 weekly reset time & activities for July 2 from Nightfall to Exotic Rotator

The Destiny 2 weekly reset is upon us once more, bringing another week of refreshed content for Guardians to dive into, from a new Nightfall weapon rotation to Ritual activities and plenty of other updates.

With The Final Shape finally here (see what I did there?) we're into Year 7 of Destiny 2, we're now into Episode Echoes, which is replacing the prior seasonal model.

Here's everything we know of so far for the weekly reset on July 2, week five of Episode Echoes Act 1.

Destiny 2 has its weekly reset every Tuesday at 6 PM BST/10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT. After this point, you will be able to tackle any of the week's new content until the next week rolls around.

This includes new challenges, any new story content, and a refresh of all weekly content, such as Nightfalls, Raids, and Crucible modes.

If there have been any major updates or it's the start of a new season, you can expect some server maintenance and a big queue when you do get in, though - check out our Server Status page for more.

What is the weekly reset?

The weekly reset in Destiny 2 is when all activities are refreshed, rewards are restocked, and new weekly content is released. Each week, Guardians everywhere will jump on at the weekly reset time to check out what's new, and what's different, hoping to earn some all-important, powerful gear.

The weekly reset is also a way for events like Iron Banner to launch and conclude their limited time in the game and for vendors to restock their supplies.

This week's Nightfall strike is Warden of Nothing. 

Completing the regular Nightfall will net you some decent rewards, but the true prize, the Adept weapon, comes only to those who can accomplish a Grandmaster Nightfall completion with a Platinum medal.

With a new expansion, we don't know the Nightfall weapons until a few weeks in. We do know, however, that there will be 8 Nightfall-exclusive weapons. 

Each will be available twice per episode, so if you're planning on completing your collection, you'll have limited time to do so.

We're expecting this week's weapon to be Shadow Price, but we could be wrong.

The rotating exotic mission this week is Presage, letting you earn Dead Man's Tale. I've not run the mission myself in a while so might give it a go for a fresh roll on the Exotic scout rifle.

Vow of the Disciple is the featured raid for the week, so be sure to jump in there to complete any challenges you have yet to accomplish. It's another great chance to get the exclusive exotic Collective Obligation.

The featured dungeon is Shattered Throne, making this a great week to complete the attached Seal and updated weapons.

With the competitive content refresh, we have more bounties to complete, gear to chase, and good times to be had in Destiny 2, with this week bringing Showdown and Mayhem into the rotating playlists.

We're expecting Trials of Osiris to take a break since Iron Banner is in rotation.
