If you’re wondering what the weekly Nightfall strike in Destiny 2 is this week, we have you covered. Nightfalls are among the toughest PvE challenges available in Destiny 2, but the greater challenge also offers greater reward. The satisfaction of completing a Nightfall Strike and the better quality gear both make Nightfalls a compelling activity to dive into.

Here, we’ll cover what the weekly Nightfall Strike is each and every week of its rotation, as well as what to expect from each strike. If you’re looking for fresh fun outside of Vanguard Operations though, why not have a look at how to fish in Destiny 2 and join in on one of the game's newest and chillest activities?

This week's Nightfall strike is The Corrupted. The Corrupted takes place in the Dreaming City, and you’ll be facing almost entirely Taken enemies, with a few Hive and Scorn mixed in. Below, we’ll outline all the essentials you’ll need to know in order to beat this Nightfall.

After an Awoken Techueaun is corrupted and partially taken, Petra Venge asks you and your fireteam to infiltrate the heart of the Dreaming City and rescue the fallen witch.

While it won't be all that effective for breaking elemental shields and it's naturally slow fire rate makes it poor for dealing with any swarm of enemies compared to a machine gun or auto rifle, it's exceptional handling, stability and impact make it a fantastic precision weapon.

There's plenty to keep in mind for any nightfall. Here, we’ll outline some key advice for each week's Nightfall to help you succeed:
