Destiny weekly reset (1/5/16): New Nightfall, Court of Oryx, & bounties

It's the first weekly reset of 2016 which means, well, nothing special really. We've got the usual — a new Nightfall, new Court of Oryx Tier 3 boss, and a bunch more weekly bounties to complete. On the bright side, your free New Year's gift should be arriving this week. In case you missed it, it's 15 Strange Coins and 15 Motes of Light, which Bungie says should arrive on January 7th.

As for the weekly reset, here's what you can expect this week in Destiny;

Nightfall: Dust Palace
