Destiny 2 Grandmaster Nightfall this week: Season 22

Grandmaster Nightfalls are perhaps the most challenging endgame activity in Destiny 2. With an insane Power Level requirement and unforgiving modifiers, Grandmaster Nightfalls will challenge all but the top fireteams out there.

This page will provide you with everything you need to tackle them: their rotation, Champions, and detailed guides.

Updated as of Season of the Witch (S22).

Grandmaster Nightfall this Week: November 21, 2023

The Grandmaster Nightfall this week is the Heist Battleground: Moon and rewards the Braytech Osprey (Adept) rocket launcher.

As with most things in Destiny 2, Grandmaster Nightfalls are on a weekly rotation. For the sake of clarity, the week officially resets on Tuesdays at 9 AM PDT.

Grandmaster Nightfalls in Season 22:

1. Battleground – Europa
2. The Devil’s Lair
3. Battleground – Mars
4. The Lightblade
5. Battleground – Moon
6. Scarlet Keep

Grandmaster Nightfall rotation

Grandmaster Nightfalls are not available for the entire season. Given their onerous level requirements, they become available around mid-season. In Season of the Deep, GMs became available on September 12, 2023 (Week 4):

Grandmaster rewards

There’s a reason why Nightfalls are such a popular activity in Destiny 2. While they can certainly be fun and challenging, most Guardians tackle GMs every week for a chance to earn Adept weapons and Masterworking materials.

Adept Nightfall weapons

There are many Nightfall-specific weapons in total but only 6 of them are on a weekly rotation. These can drop from completing Nightfalls on any difficulty; however, completing Grandmaster Nightfalls rewards you with adept versions of these weapons.

You can read all about Nightfall weapons, including adept versions, drop rates, and rankings, here.

Grandmaster Power Level Requirements

If you’re interested in running a GM, you need to have a proper Power Level (including your Artifact’s bonus Power):

For the record, Power Level requirements were drastically reduced last season to allow more players to experience Grandmaster Nightfalls.

GM Shields & Champions

Grandmaster Nightfalls are challenging activities, even for veteran players.

But regardless of your skills, you need to make sure you bring weapons with matching elements and armor with the necessary Champions mods:

Art	Nightfall	Threat	Shields	Champions	Requires
	Battleground - Europa	Solar	Arc Void Solar	Barrier Unstoppable	Free-to-Play
	The Devil's Lair	Arc	Arc Void Solar	4x Barrier 15x Overload	Free-to-Play
	The Lightblade	Arc	6x Solar 8x Arc	12x Barrier 3x Unstoppable	The Witch Queen
