The Destiny 2 weekly reset time today might throw people through a hoop. If you weren’t around last week and are just catching up on all the goings-on, there’s plenty of changes to get hyped about. Not least of all the actual weekly reset time itself in the US compared to the UK, with it having shifted thanks to Daylight Savings Time. For March 19, we’ll let you know everything that’s changing in today’s weekly reset in Destiny 2, as well as what time you can expect the reset to take place.
When is the Destiny 2 weekly reset time today? (March 19)
For those of you in the UK, the Destiny 2 weekly reset time today isn’t changing at all: It remains locked at 5 PM GMT but only for this week and March 26. After that, things are changing, but that’s nothing you need to concern yourself with right now.
In the US, it’s a slightly different time than usual: 11 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern. It’s only moved an hour forward, but it’s something to be wary of in case you were hoping of hopping on earlier.
What’s changed in the Destiny 2 weekly reset? (March 19)
With a hotfix on a way (and even a new Xur bounty in the books), there’s plenty more to cover alongside the traditional weekly reset changes. However, we should get those out of the way first, as they’re the bread and butter of your day-to-day Destiny 2 activities. As per the Ritual Reset page on Bungie.net:
- 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
But, of course, that’s not all. If you’ve sided with either the Drifter or the Vanguard, you’ll be given a hefty Weekly Package for your troubles. Visit the Drifter or Ikora respectively if you want to claim them.
As for the hotfix, there’s not a whole lot that’s changing in terms of the fundamental game. The main changes involve the Drifter’s Weapon Pursuits now tracking as normal, with the “Best Offense” Triumph now popping correctly.
Finally, Xur is leaving again for the week. This bears more significance than ever now with the advent of Forsaken Exotics in his inventory alongside the first Invitation of the Nine. The World, the first Invitation, should be toast after today, with Friday heralding the arrival of Xur again, alongside the second Invitation of the Nine.
Destiny's 10 Most Exotic Weapons

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.
