Happy reset, Guardians! Not much to report from the Tower this week. Next week we'll get sandbox update 2.1.4 which will include several buffs to specific weapons and subclasses as well as a few nerfs - including a completely unnecessary one to my beloved Nova Warp ;)

We won't have patch notes until next week. However, Aztecross has done a great job laying out what we do know and which weapons / archetypes you'll want to keep an eye on. His YouTube channel can be found here

Here’s your reset activities for the week of January 22nd - January 29th

Raids

You can now find the Leviathan Raids by clicking Nessus in the director. There is conflicting information from different APIs regarding the Leviathan raid and the director no longer says what the challenge mode is. The API has been wonky since Foresaken launched. Hopefully, Bungie will fix this soon.
