Destiny Weekly Reset (6/23/15): New Strikes and Prison of Elders Arenas

With all the hullabaloo and drama surrounding Destiny's newest expansion, The Taken King, I completely forgot about the weekly reset. In case you did too, here's the new strikes, the new rotation in the Prison of Elders arena, and the new items Variks is carrying.

The Heroic Strike this week is The Shadow Thief on Ocean of Storms, Moon, with the Heroic (enemies appear in greater numbers and are more aggressive) and Angry (minions of the Darkness won't flinch, even after massive damage) modifiers.

The Nightfall Strike is Cerberus Vae III on Meridian Bay, Mars, with the following modifiers:

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