Eyes up, Guardians!

Update 2.2.1 (April update) is live. Since the patch notes are too lengthy to list in this post you can review the full notes here

A few highlights that jumped out at me (other than all the arc subclass tweaks):

  • The Wardcliff Coil - Reduced PvE damage by 25% against bosses and vehicles. Seem like a strange choice for Arc week.
  • Four new Exotic weapon catalysts are now available to drop in Nightfall, strikes, and the Crucible - Prospector (Nightfall, strikes); Rat King (Nightfall, strikes); Hard Light (Nightfall, strikes); SUROS Regime (Crucible)
  • Ada-1 will now offer all seven weapon frames each week. However, players can still complete only two powerful frames each week, at which point remaining frames are removed until weekly reset
  • Reckoning Tier 2 and Tier 3 boss kills now always have a chance to award a Gambit Prime weapon and chances for weapon rewards increase each time a boss is killed without a weapon drop
  • Gunsmith reputation packages now only reward Gunsmith Weapons
  • One Thousand Voices: Increased drop rate from 5% ? 10%
  • Xûr's inventory now offers random rolled perks for armor

Here’s your reset activities for the week of April 9th - April 16th

Escalation Protocol

This week's boss is Naksud, the Famine dropping the IKELOS Sniper, SMG, and Shotgun

Level 3 and 5 completions include chests for regular gear with a drop chance for the sparrow, ghost, and ship. Level 7 completions include EP shaders and a weapon chance which drops as an engram from the boss as well as a chest for EP armor which requires a decrypted cache key to open

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.
