Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 08/16 – Bonus ranks for all core activities

The final week before the release of Season 18 begins in Destiny 2, so before you get sweaty and get ready, let’s show you what’s in store for the final week.

This is happening this week: There is only one week between you and Season 18. So in order to be perfectly prepared for the new season, you now have the last chance to bag and stash challenges and resources.

This week, Bungie is offering you the chance to earn bonus ranks in almost every activity. These include Gambit, Crucible, and Vanguard. So if you’re missing one or the other season ornament for the “Chain of Command” machine gun, it’s best to get started.

In addition, today’s weekly reset could also include a surprise before the new season begins. Joe Blackburn, Bungie’s Game Director, insisted and cryptically spoiled it today:

Can’t overstate the importance of previous seasonal work in learning how to make the live game. Lots of cool seeds were made in Season of the Worthy [Season 10] planted, who knows where they might lead!

wrote Joe Blackburn via twitter

As a reminder, in Season 10, the Guardians had to hunt down a Psion Flayer in a desperate bid for revenge against the Last City. They had help from the warm spirit Rasputin.

The most important information about activities from 16.08 to 23.08.
