When is the Destiny 2 weekly reset?

The Destiny 2 weekly reset, which happens every Tuesday, sees lots of activities and challenges get reset, rotated, or changed, so that you can continue the loot grind and arm your Guardian with the best gear. It also brings vendor stock rotations, new activity modifiers, and sometimes new activities, so there's lots of keep on top of.

With Heresy drawing to a close and The Edge of Fate and the start of a new Destiny 2 saga looming, it's a good time to ensure you've done as much as you can for the last year's Episodes before they get sent to the Destiny Content Vault with final Light and Darkness Saga weekly reset. Here’s everything you need to know about the Destiny 2 weekly reset, from when it is to what exactly gets reset.

The weekly reset is also a good time for Bungie to implement updates and hotfixes, usually resulting in the Destiny 2 servers going offline for maintenance a couple of hours prior to 5pm UTC. When they're back online (hopefully not long after the weekly reset time), make sure you update the game to avoid getting the Destiny 2 error code 'cat'.
