Don’t mention that other game everyone’s talking about: it’s Destiny 2 weekly reset time today, February 5. You know what that means, the changes are about be rung. Read on below for everything you need to know about what is different after the Destiny 2 weekly reset and what time it drops today. It might just take you by surprise.
What time is the Destiny 2 weekly reset today?
This is the last month I can say this until November: the Destiny 2 weekly reset time today is exactly 12 PM Eastern/5 PM GMT. If you’re out on the West Coast of the US of A then it’s an early start: 9 AM Pacific.
Be aware that the Destiny 2 weekly reset time will shift forward an hour come March, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it.
What’s changed in the Destiny 2 weekly reset time today? (February 5)
We’re in that mid-season lull between both an update and the start of the Season of the Drifter. As such, there isn’t too much new to get acquainted with this week other than the usual suspects. The likes of Nightfall Strikes, probably the most fun you can have in Destiny 2 change today, as does the Gambit Weekly Challenge. The Flashpoint also changes planets every Tuesday, too.
Here’s a full list of everything that changes with the Destiny 2 reset, thanks to Bungie’s Ritual Refresh page:
- Call to Arms Crucible Challenge
- Destination Flashpoints
- Raid Challenge Encounters
- Raid Checkpoints
- Dreaming City Powerful Rewards
- Spider’s Powerful Bounty
- Gambit Powerful Bounty
- Gambit Weekly Challenge
- Nightfall Strike
- Weekly Clan Engrams
- Weekly Clan XP Caps
- Eververse Bright Dust and Prismatic Matrix Selections
Xur will also be missing for the next few days. Due to return on Friday, the Destiny 2 weekly reset is where he traditionally says goodbye. The man works hard so it’s good for him to take some me time.
Also, it’s worth noting there are a handful of things that you’d think would align with the weekly reset time but actually don’t. Both Brother Vance on Mercury and Ana Bray on Mars switch up their activities on different days. Vance is on Mondays while Bray, who may have a case of the Garfields, refreshes her activities on Thursday.

Destiny's 10 Most Exotic Weapons
One of the main draws of Destiny is the guns. This is a loot shooter through and through, and Bungie has crafted a huge arsenal of interesting firearms to go after. While there are many standard weapons, a handful of rare selections really push the envelope. Here are Destiny's 10 most exotic weapons. -
Bad Juju
A fantastic Pulse Rifle, Bad Juju's main aesthetic is death. That skeletal spine and skull hood ornament really make it stand out from the crowd. The gun also rewards successive kills, so you can feed it more death and charge your super move at the same time. -
Fighting Lion
A sterling silver grenade launcher, the Fighting Lion's magnificent big cat finish is just the most obvious of its advantages. It's got all the buffs you'd want from a noob tube and it blasts apart shields on direct hits. Certainly, a great option if you're looking to shake things up. -
Gjallarhorn
A legend among legends, Gjallarhorn was the exotic to grab during both its reigns over Destiny's meta. It's a flaming rocket launcher with a huge silver eagle etched onto the top. The rockets it fires can be upgraded to split into tracking "wolfpack" rounds, meaning that no one is running away. -
Sleeper Simulant
When you say the words Fusion Rifle, you think of something that looks like the Sleeper Simulant. The prototype rail gun look is definitely in. The lasers it fires goes straight through enemies and also ricochets off walls. It's an easy way to score a triple kill if you're good with your aim. -
Telesto
Do you want a fusion rifle that shoots black holes? Or "void blasts" as the Destiny people might say? Telesto is your gun. While it looks like a random configuration from Borderlands' weapon generator, its large range and ability to reload your spare guns make it a great choice in the field. -
The Wardcliff Coil
OK, we may have said that Sleeper Simulant looked like a prototype, but this Wardcliff Coil looks like a prototype of that prototype. It's as if someone tore parts off of a passing space station and then used a genie to wish them into a gun. What a cool look. -
Touch Of Malice
With the Touch Of Malice, you can't help but feel Bungie reaching back into its past. Sure, this exotic scout rifle doesn't fire grenades, but it sure does look a whole lot like the Brute Shot. It's got that weird side handle and the underslung blade. Either way, a great design. -
Trinity Ghoul
One of two bows introduced in the latest Destiny 2 expansion, the Trinity Ghoul proves that Bungie is more than happy to break the rules of its own FPS. Sure, you'd probably rather have a minigun, but maybe some snipers might enjoy going back to basics with this most historic of weapons. -
Two-Tailed Fox
The Two-Tailed Fox is enormous. A huge colorful rocket launcher, it fires two distinct projectiles, each with a different payload. One fires void, the black hole juice we mentioned earlier. The other fires Solar, which involves burning your target. Combined, it's just not a very good time for whoever's on the receiving end. -
Worldline Zero
Much like the Bows introduced in Forsaken, the original Destiny had a whole class of weapon that didn't involve bullets and ammo. They were swords, and there are now quite a few blades to choose from. Perhaps the Crucible could use a Medieval Mode now that both are in the game.
