Destiny 2 Weekly Reset time, Forsaken news and Festival of the Lost for PS4 and Xbox

The Destiny 2 Weekly Reset time is set for tomorrow, October 30, and will wipe clean all player progress from select PS4, Xbox and PC events.

This will be the seventh reset since the Forsaken expansion went live, and means Guardians have a limited amount of time to finish their most recent activities.

Bungie will be resetting Destiny 2 on Tuesday, October 30, at around 6pm in the UK.

For players in the United States, it means a much earlier reset time of 10am PST and 1pm EST.

The Festival of the Lose is currently active, with new Triumphs to earn, and Holliday daily bounties to complete.

Fragmented Souls will be the reward, which can be used to purchase Festival of the Lost masks, as well as the Horror Story Legendary Auto Rifle.

Next week, players will also have their first chance to earn Infamy at accelerated rates, starting straight after the weekly reset.

This means infamy gained from bounties, wins, and losses will all be increased.

Destiny 2 Update 2.0.5 is also expected to go live soon, with the patch providing small quality-of-life improvements to Destiny 2: Forsaken.

Fans should expect some disruption if Bungie announces any downtime for October 30.

DESTINY WEEKLY RESET

As usual, the weekly reset will affect various activities in the game, such as:

Progress and rewards connected to Destination Flashpoints, Raid Challenges, Raid Checkpoints, Nightfall Strike, Weekly Clan Engrams, Weekly Clan XP Caps, Eververse Bright Dust and Prismatic Matrix Selections.

There will also be hard resets made to the Spider’s Wanted Bounty line-up, and Xur will disappear again until Friday.

So as a recap, the official Destiny 2 weekly reset affects Nightfall Strikes and the ongoing Raid, and also acts as the countdown to complete these tasks.

If you complete them before the reset, you will have to wait until the following Tuesday to start them again and collect new rewards.

This is also when a lot of the game’s milestones get refreshed, which means weekly challenges, destination Flashpoints, call to arms, clan XP and clan XP rewards.

A preview of the upcoming Destiny 2 update notes can be found below:

General

  • Removing the hold time for the Spider’s material exchange interactions
  • Increasing stack size of Ghost Fragments from 10 to 20
  • Reduced shader dismantle time from 1 sec. to 0.25 secs.

Exotic Duplicate Weighting

  • When you’re receiving an Exotic, we will take into account all Exotics you’ve found, and weight them against Exotics you have yet to acquire; this lowers the chances of receiving Exotics you already own
  • Exotics that you do not yet own will be individually weighted much higher than duplicate Exotics
  • When receiving duplicate Exotics, you will be more likely to earn armor pieces, as they have randomly rolled perks
  • Exotic quest weapons are being removed from the Exotic engram loot pool

Enhancement Cores

  • Masterwork Cores will be renamed Enhancement Cores
  • More sources will award Enhancement Cores; they will be added to Scrapper Bounties and six of the Spider’s weekly bounties
  • Enhancement Cores will be more visible in the loot feed

Exotic Tuning

  • Wish-Ender
  • Increasing base damage
  • Fixing an issue where the Broadhead perk would not properly activate under certain circumstances, which would result in a loss of damage
