Destiny 2 weekly reset (April 29 to May 6): Final reset before event, Iron Banner, Heist Battleground Mars, and more

The upcoming Destiny 2 weekly reset of April 29 will be the final seasonal reset before Rite of the Nine. Once the latter launches, players will still have all the content from the Episode. However, all eyes will be on the event, as there's hardly anything left to do seasonally. Hence, it is recommended that players take this reset a bit seriously and grind out powerful weapons before the major event comes along.

This article lists everything coming with the April 29 weekly reset in Destiny 2.

Regarding Dungeons, both Vesper's Host and Duality have Master versions for the Artifice armor pieces. However, note that Vesper's Host does not drop the Icebreaker after the first attempt in a character. This aspect of the loot from the Dungeon has been confirmed to be bugged.

Players can instead run one encounter multiple times for Artifice armor.

3) NODE OVRRD AVALON

NODE OVRRD AVALON Exotic mission will be in the Exotic mission rotation from April 29 to May 6. Players can farm the Vexcalibur Exotic Glaive from this mission.

4) Iron Banner returns

Iron Banner returns with the April 29 reset. This means that players will have another source for Pinnacle gear pieces, alongside some exclusive gears that cater to both PvP and PvE. One of the most popular weapons, Tinasha's Mastery Stasis Rocket Sidearm, is from the Iron Banner.

Bungie also recommends players hoard Iron Engrams, as the Rite of the Nine update is scheduled to bring in three new weapons in the Iron Banner.
