It’s Destiny 2 weekly reset time yet again but, as ever, today’s offering on May 7 gives us something slightly different. There are changes in activities abound, as well as a complete reset to keep things fresh for you and your Fireteam across the coming week. But, if you’ve always been confounded by the “New Adventures Available” message on Tuesdays, now is the time to dive in and find out what the Destiny 2 weekly reset means and, crucially, what it means for you in the next seven days in Destiny 2.
Destiny 2 Weekly Reset (May 7) | When is the reset time today?
Thankfully, we’ve not got any pesky time changes on the horizon. Until November 2019, the Destiny 2 weekly reset time stays exactly the same: 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern.
For those across the pond, that’s 6 PM BST. Things change come November but, as that’s six months away, it’s not something we need to concern ourselves with just yet.
What’s changed in the Destiny 2 weekly reset? (May 7)
We’ve got an update on the way so, aside from your usual fare (which we’ll get to in just a moment), there’s also some big changes coming your way.
The first thing you should take note of is that, once the Destiny 2 weekly reset ticks over, then there’s no more Revelry. That’s it. The party’s over, go home.
Elsewhere, Spectral Blades are getting a much-needed nerf. There’s also several bugs and glitches being ironed out, including a Warlock Blink bug and Dreaming City lore not popping once a player has completed an Ascendant Challenge.
But now, on to the usual set of changes when it comes to the Destiny 2 weekly reset. As per the Ritual Reset guide, all of these activities and gameplay mechanics will be refreshed come 1 PM Eastern:
- 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
Finally, Xur is saying goodbye. No, not forever, don’t worry! He’ll be back on Friday with a new set of wares but, for now, he’s departing and you won’t be able to buy any items from him. Sob.
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.
