Destiny 2 has a lot to do. So much so, it’s sometimes hard to decide what to chase and prioritize next.
Some activities, such as unlocking catalysts or doing Exotic quests can be tackled at your own pace, but most challenges are dependent on the game’s Weekly Reset. Many rewards and activities are limited to one per week, and that limitation is lifted every Tuesday with reset.
In this post, we’ll cover all the Weekly challenges and activities in Destiny 2 this week, including a detailed list of activities and the main highlights.
