‘Destiny’ Weekly Reset For Sept 6, Last Shot At Oryx Challenge Before ‘Rise Of Iron’

The first Destiny Weekly Reset for September 2016 is also the last chance to beat the Oryx Challenge Mode before Rise of Iron is released. PlayStation and Xbox players have a quickly dwindling amount of time to complete key steps in completing their Moments of Triumph.

Destiny fans who have not completed key steps in finishing out their Moments of Triumph should head to their favorite LFG site like the100, DestinyLFG, and Reddit Fireteams to start looking for partners. The last chance to get the Calcified Fragment from the King’s Fall Raid Oryx Challenge Mode plus Thalnok from the Court of Oryx has arrived.

Meanwhile, Destiny players have one week to complete one step of the Exotic Sword quest if they haven’t already. Part of the quest line requires waiting until the next Armsday to collect a piece from the Weaponsmith. This gives players until September 14 to complete this step of the quest line, just ahead of the release of Rise of Iron on September 20.
