Updated December 24, 2024: Another week dawns in Destiny 2, bringing a fresh wave of missions, challenges, and rewards. While the game currently sits between major acts, the ongoing narrative includes discussions about its player count. This concern, though not unprecedented, feels amplified by recent bugs, controversies, and general issues.
For now, The Dawning event continues, offering a final chance to bake cookies and collect rewards. Bungie has added a community challenge element to boost the drop rate of three rare emblems, revealing an impressive total of over 3 million cookies baked for Commander Zavala.
The weekly reset is here, delivering the usual updated content. Below is a comprehensive guide to the new content available for the week of December 23, encompassing Nightfalls, Crucible modes, and challenges.
