Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: When to Check for New Content

Every Tuesday, Destiny 2 undergoes a weekly reset, changing up activities and challenges to keep players engaged in the hunt for loot. This reset, which also includes vendor inventory updates and new activity modifiers, is crucial for players looking to upgrade their Guardians with the best gear. With the current season, Heresy, nearing completion and the new saga, The Edge of Fate, on the horizon, it’s a perfect opportunity to wrap up any remaining tasks from last year’s episodes before they head to the Destiny Content Vault. Here’s what you need to know about the weekly reset, including the timing and what changes to expect.

The weekly reset also serves as an opportunity for Bungie to roll out updates and hotfixes. This usually means that Destiny 2 servers will be down for maintenance a couple of hours before 5 PM UTC. Once the servers are back up (hopefully shortly after the reset), be sure to update your game to avoid encountering the ‘cat’ error code.
