Luckily for gamers, they come with rewards to match. Each week, at least one Nightfall weapon is in rotation and can drop from Nightfall completions. Higher difficulties have better odds, and Destiny 2 guardians brave enough to face Grandmasters will get an Adept version of whatever weapon is on tap that week. Revenant is bringing a few Grandmasters on the challenging or annoying side, including Liminality, the Corrupted, Proving Grounds, and the Lightblade\u2014which are (or were) among the trickiest at the time of their release. Here is the Nightfall weapon for this week in Destiny 2. Table of contentsDestiny\u00a02 Nightfall weapon this week: Dec. 31 to Jan. 7Nightfall weapon this week: Shadow PriceAll Nightfall weapons in rotation in RevenantWhat are the Nightfalls in Episode Revenant?Nightfall weapons available through Focused Decoding at Commander ZavalaBest Nightfall weapons worth farming in Destiny 2Nightfall weapons available through Legacy Focusing at Commander ZavalaWhat are the Grandmaster Nightfall rewards in Destiny 2? Destiny\u00a02 Nightfall weapon this week: Dec. 31 to Jan. 7 Weapon: Shadow Price Nightfall: Liminality Champions: Barrier, Unstoppable Threat: Stasis Surge: Arc, Stasis Overcharge: Machine Gun Negative Modifier: Galvanized Combatants have more health and are more difficult to stun. Nightfall weapon this week: Shadow Price If you're taking on a Nightfall this week, you may grab yourself a copy of Shadow Price. This assault rifle continues to be reliable but largely unremarkable, just like its last appearances, but it can still be worth picking up if you need a workhorse auto rifle. Shadow Price's newest iteration has access to Voltshot and Demolitionist in column four, which are incredible perks in their own right. You can pair those with Overflow (though we don't recommend Overflow\/Voltshot for the counter-synergy), with Attrition Orbs, Surplus, or Stats For All as potential options. Despite that, though, Shadow Price still struggles to raise itself out of mediocrity, especially when facing strong competition. VS Pyroelectric Propellant from Vesper's Host brings a considerably better overall package thanks to its perk pool (namely Jolting Feedback and Onslaught in column four), while even the Prophecy dungeon's Prosecutor brings a better perk package in the same Precision Frame (450rpm) archetype. All Nightfall weapons in rotation in Revenant The Nightfall weapons in Revenant are:\u00a0 Undercurrent Uzume RR4 The Slammer Wild Style Scintillation Shadow Price Rake Angle (new Stasis glaive) PLUG ONE.1 (reissued Arc fusion rifle) What are the Nightfalls in Episode Revenant? Here is what the Nightfall rotation will look like in Revenant: The Lightblade Proving Grounds Heist Battleground: Moon Birthplace of the Vile The Arms Dealer Inverted Spire (reworked) Liminality The Corrupted Battleground: Behemoth Nightfall weapons available through Focused Decoding at Commander Zavala The Focused Decoding section at Zavala offers the possibility to focus your Engrams into gear available in the weapon pool for Nightfalls and Vanguards. These include: Nightfall weapons: All Nightfall weapons in the current pool. Vanguard weapons: Nameless Midnight, Positive Outlook, Luna Regolith III, Double-Edged Answer, Origin Story, and Wicked Sister (the new Strand heavy grenade launcher). Best Nightfall weapons worth farming in Destiny 2 If you have a limited time to play, we recommend farming for these weapons: Rake Angle (Stasis glaive) Wild Style (Solar Wave-Frame grenade launcher) Scintillation (Strand linear fusion rifle) PLUG ONE.1 (reissued Arc fusion rifle) Nightfall weapons available through Legacy Focusing at Commander Zavala If you missed some of the old Nightfall weapons, you can spend your hard-earned Vanguard Engrams to obtain these weapons for the first time, even though they're no longer obtainable through normal means. Older weapons like the Palindrome aren\u2019t available through this method. The full roster includes all Nightfall weapons since season 16 (Season of the Risen), starting with the Comedian. Not all of them are relevant, so we picked the ones we like the most. Here are some of our favorites we recommend farming if you have Vanguard Engrams to spare. We'd add Hung Jury to this list for its consistency, but the Onslaught version released in Into the Light has better perks. The Hothead (Rocket launcher, Arc): A great rocket launcher that's become somewhat outclassed by other options with more meta perks but can still be respectable on its own. The Militia's Birthright (Grenade launcher, Kinetic, Breech-Loading): A solid grenade launcher with access to good perks. It can be outclassed by the competition, but its accessibility is where it shines. Wendigo GL3 (Grenade launcher, Arc, Adaptive Frame, heavy): A potentially solid Arc heavy grenade launcher that's gotten a glow-up thanks to the buffs to this weapon category. Warden's Law (Hand cannon, Kinetic, Heavy Burst): An incredible hand cannon with great damage potential and a unique archetype. What are the Grandmaster Nightfall rewards in Destiny 2? Grandmaster Nightfalls are the hardest challenge in Destiny 2, but they give you some of the most coveted rewards in the game. Completing a Grandmaster Nightfall will drop an Adept version of that week\u2019s weapon, which can use Adept mods and gain slight bonuses to other stats when masterworked. In addition to the Adept weapon (the crown jewel of GMs), players also have a shot at obtaining Ascendant Shards and Exotic armor upon completing a GM, with a Nightfall Memento on the table. The rewards for Grandmaster Nightfalls are: Adept Nightfall Weapon (Common, but guaranteed with a Platinum completion) Exotic Gear (Common) Ascendant Shards (Common) Nightfall Cipher (Common) Bungie doesn\u2019t share the exact drop rate for Nightfall weapons, so it\u2019s tough to estimate exactly what the \u201ccommon\u201d drop rates mean. In our experience, though, completing a Grandmaster with a Platinum score has consistently yielded at least one Ascendant Shard or an Exotic armor piece.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Void-Titan-Twilight-Arsenal-The-Final-Shape-Destiny-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426419"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1759"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=426419"}],"version-history":[{"count":335,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1487844,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426419\/revisions\/1487844"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1243870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=426419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=426419"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=426419"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=426419"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=426419"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=426419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
