Destiny Weekly Reset (6/2/15): New Strikes and Prison of Elders Arenas

Also, here's what Variks is carrying this week

Destiny's servers have been reset, which means it's time for a pair of new strikes, a rotation for the new Prison of Elders arena, and more. If none of the weekly resets sound appealing to you, remember that the Iron Banner returns today.

The Heroic Strike this week is The Will of Crota on Old Russia, Earth, with the Heroic (enemies appear in greater numbers and are more aggressive) and Brawler (Guardian melee damage is greatly increased) modifiers.

The Nightfall Strike is Winter's Run on Ishtar Sink, Venus, with the following modifiers:

  • Epic – Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers.
  • Arc Burn – Arc Damage from any source is greatly increased.
  • Solar Burn – Solar Damage from any source is greatly increased.
  • Small Arms – Primary Weapon damage is favored.
  • Nightfall – If all players die, your Fireteam is returned to Orbit.

In addition to the Strikes, Destiny's Prison of Elders arena activity has also rotate. New with the House of Wolves expansion, the Prison of Elders offers three tiers of level difficulty — 32, 34, and 35 — that, like the Strikes, will rotate on a weekly basis and will also come with modifiers.
