Destiny 2 weekly reset time & activities for April 16 from Nightfall to Exotic Rotator
The Destiny 2 weekly reset is upon us once more, bringing another week of refreshed content for Guardians to dive into, from a new Nightfall weapon rotation to Ritual activities and plenty of other updates.
While The Final Shape has seen a delay, Season of the Wish is still in full swing, meaning that players can expect new updates and content each week. So, here's everything happening in the game this week, from a rundown of the reset time to details on the featured raid, dungeon, and everything else for April 16.
In case you missed it, Into the Light is here, bringing with it new features like Onslaught and the BRAVE Arsenal.
Oh, and while you're here, why not check out our interview with the team about the current season, as well as what went into making the Warlord's Ruin dungeon?
What time is the Destiny 2 weekly reset for April 16?
Destiny 2 has its weekly reset every Tuesday at 6 PM GMT/10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT. After this point, you will be able to tackle any of the week's new content until the next week rolls around.
This includes new challenges, any new story content, and a refresh of all weekly content, such as Nightfalls, Raids, and Crucible modes.
If there have been any major updates or it's the start of a new season, you can expect some server maintenance and a big queue when you do get in, though - check out our Server Status page for more.
What is the weekly reset?
The weekly reset in Destiny 2 is when all activities are refreshed, rewards are restocked, and new weekly content is released. Each week, Guardians everywhere will jump on at the weekly reset time to check out what's new, and what's different, and to earn some all-important, powerful gear.
The weekly reset is also a way for events like Iron Banner to launch and conclude their limited time in the game, and for vendors to restock their supplies.
Destiny 2 Nightfall this week
This week's Nightfall strike is Hypernet Current.
Completing the regular Nightfall will net you some decent rewards, but the true prize, the Adept weapon, comes only to those who can accomplish a Grandmaster Nightfall completion with a Platinum medal.

Destiny 2 Exotic Rotator

This appears alongside the Whisper mission where you can acquire Whisper of the Worm. This mission has returned as part of Into The Light and appears to be available for the next few weeks, at least until Zero Hour is added later this month.
Featured raid & dungeon this week
The Root of Nightmares is the featured raid for the week, so be sure to jump in there to complete any challenges you have yet to accomplish. This raid is packed with excellent weapons to acquire, and the exclusive exotic Conditional Finality is a must-have for top-level PvP players.
The featured dungeon is Ghosts of the Deep, making this a great week to complete the attached Seal.
