Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: December 24, 2024

Another week, another reset in the ever-evolving world of Destiny 2. While the game currently sits between narrative acts, and faces ongoing challenges related to player count, bugs, and controversies, the weekly reset brings fresh content for Guardians to pursue. The Dawning event continues, featuring a community challenge to unlock rare emblems, with players having already baked over 3 million cookies for Commander Zavala.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the week's activities, including Nightfalls, Crucible modes, challenges, and more.
