Each week, a different Nightfall weapon is featured in Destiny 2, giving Guardians the chance to farm up their desired rolls from any difficulty, from Standard all the way up to Grandmaster.
As is the standard for most activities that rotate on a weekly schedule, like the Ascendant Challenge, Dungeon and Raid rotation, and Trials of Osiris, the featured Nightfall and its associated weapon change every Tuesday at weekly reset, meaning you’ve got a seven-day window to farm the featured weapon until it’s replaced with another.
Here’s everything you need to know about this week’s featured Nightfall weapon, including the best rolls you should be on the lookout for.
What’s the Nightfall weapon in Destiny 2 this week?
This week’s Nightfall weapon is Lotus-Eater, and will remain farmable until the next weekly reset on July 8.
