As a Destiny 2 veteran who's spent more nights grinding Nightfalls than I care to admit, let me tell you—these strikes are the perfect gateway to endgame content. They’re like that friendly neighborhood bouncer who lets you into the club without the VIP hassle of raids or dungeons. Seriously, if you're new to chasing god rolls, Nightfalls are where you cut your teeth. Each week after reset, Bungie rotates one featured weapon from a pool of eight bangers, and completing these strikes showers you with exclusive gear like the cheeky Lotus-Eater rocket sidearm. Oh, and guess what? As of this season (we're in Episode: Heresy), the entire rotation schedule is finally out in the open!

🔥 What Makes Nightfall Weapons So Special?

These ain't your grandma’s blue engrams, folks. Eight powerhouse Vanguard weapons cycle through weekly, and here’s the juicy part:

  • Adept versions drop like candy when you crush higher difficulties

  • Zavala’s your plug—trade Vanguard Engrams or Adept Cyphers directly for the weekly featured weapon at the Tower

  • Each weapon reruns multiple times per season (patience pays off, guardians!)

Missed Lotus-Eater last time? No sweat. The rotation’s locked in a fixed order now—Lotus-Eater always struts in right before Wild Style, and Rake Angle follows Scintillation like clockwork. This pattern holds until Codename: Apollo drops later this summer.
