It’s Destiny 2 weekly reset time on April 23 and, you know what that means: the times they are a-changing. While not a great deal is being refreshed as part of the Destiny 2 reset this week, there’s still plenty you need to know about so you can be prepared going in. For example, alongside the traditional turnover of activities and Bounties, there’s also a renowned event making its way to the Destiny 2 reset today. Find out about that (and more) down below.
Destiny 2 Weekly Reset (April 23) | When is the reset time today?
You don’t need to log out of the game for the Destiny 2 weekly reset, but it sure does help to know when the game resets in your region. If you’re in the US, you can expect a “New Adventures Available” notification (which marks the start of the Destiny 2 weekly reset) to hit at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern. Simply log on at or after that time for things to change.
In the UK, it’s probably a better situation. That’s because the Destiny 2 weekly reset is at 6 PM BST, which after the end of your school or working day, which is handy.
What’s changed in the Destiny 2 weekly reset? (April 23)
For a full list of what’s changed in the Destiny 2 weekly reset, we have to go straight to the source. Bungie’s Ritual Reset page is a good a barometer as any for what you can expect to shift around this week. Here it is in full, though remember that Mercury’s activities already refreshed yesterday and Mars’ set of tasks refreshes every Thursday:
- Call to Arms Crucible Challenge
- Destination Flashpoints
- Raid Challenge Encounters
- Raid Checkpoints
- Dreaming City Powerful Rewards
- Spider’s Powerful Bounty
- Gambit Powerful Bounty
- Gambit Weekly Challenge
- Nightfall Strike
- Weekly Clan Engrams
- Weekly Clan XP Caps
- Eververse Bright Dust Selections
Elsewhere, Xur, as ever, disappears after the weekly reset. He won’t be gone for long, though. Expect him back on Friday, but you’ll be pleased to know this week’s Invitation of the Nine is sticking around until Thursday, which gives you an extra 48 hours more than normal to complete.
Finally, the Iron Banner returns for the Season of the Drifter. You’ll be able to start it at the Tower post-weekly reset.
Destiny's 10 Most Exotic Weapons

Destiny's 10 Most Exotic Weapons
One of the main draws of Destiny is the guns. This is a loot shooter through and through, and Bungie has crafted a huge arsenal of interesting firearms to go after. While there are many standard weapons, a handful of rare selections really push the envelope. Here are Destiny's 10 most exotic weapons. -
Bad Juju
A fantastic Pulse Rifle, Bad Juju's main aesthetic is death. That skeletal spine and skull hood ornament really make it stand out from the crowd. The gun also rewards successive kills, so you can feed it more death and charge your super move at the same time. -
Fighting Lion
A sterling silver grenade launcher, the Fighting Lion's magnificent big cat finish is just the most obvious of its advantages. It's got all the buffs you'd want from a noob tube and it blasts apart shields on direct hits. Certainly, a great option if you're looking to shake things up. -
Gjallarhorn
A legend among legends, Gjallarhorn was the exotic to grab during both its reigns over Destiny's meta. It's a flaming rocket launcher with a huge silver eagle etched onto the top. The rockets it fires can be upgraded to split into tracking "wolfpack" rounds, meaning that no one is running away. -
Sleeper Simulant
When you say the words Fusion Rifle, you think of something that looks like the Sleeper Simulant. The prototype rail gun look is definitely in. The lasers it fires goes straight through enemies and also ricochets off walls. It's an easy way to score a triple kill if you're good with your aim. -
Telesto
Do you want a fusion rifle that shoots black holes? Or "void blasts" as the Destiny people might say? Telesto is your gun. While it looks like a random configuration from Borderlands' weapon generator, its large range and ability to reload your spare guns make it a great choice in the field. -
The Wardcliff Coil
OK, we may have said that Sleeper Simulant looked like a prototype, but this Wardcliff Coil looks like a prototype of that prototype. It's as if someone tore parts off of a passing space station and then used a genie to wish them into a gun. What a cool look. -
Touch Of Malice
With the Touch Of Malice, you can't help but feel Bungie reaching back into its past. Sure, this exotic scout rifle doesn't fire grenades, but it sure does look a whole lot like the Brute Shot. It's got that weird side handle and the underslung blade. Either way, a great design. -
Trinity Ghoul
One of two bows introduced in the latest Destiny 2 expansion, the Trinity Ghoul proves that Bungie is more than happy to break the rules of its own FPS. Sure, you'd probably rather have a minigun, but maybe some snipers might enjoy going back to basics with this most historic of weapons. -
Two-Tailed Fox
The Two-Tailed Fox is enormous. A huge colorful rocket launcher, it fires two distinct projectiles, each with a different payload. One fires void, the black hole juice we mentioned earlier. The other fires Solar, which involves burning your target. Combined, it's just not a very good time for whoever's on the receiving end. -
Worldline Zero
Much like the Bows introduced in Forsaken, the original Destiny had a whole class of weapon that didn't involve bullets and ammo. They were swords, and there are now quite a few blades to choose from. Perhaps the Crucible could use a Medieval Mode now that both are in the game.
