‘Destiny’ Weekly Reset For April 18, Wrath Of The Machine Rotates In As Featured Raid

The Featured Raid rotation in Destiny reaches the end with the Destiny Weekly Reset for Tuesday, April 18. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners will face the Wrath of the Machine before starting the rotation over with Crota next week. Solid armor pickups from vendors plus a Void damage modifier for Nightfall are the highlights as Guardians continue to progress toward completing their Age of Triumph Record Book.

As a reminder, full details of what is included in Age of Triumph can be found in this Inquisitr article. Destiny will feature a separate Raid each week at the 390 Light level with all challenges enabled. The Wrath of the Machine Raid does not have any gameplay changes to it since it is the most recent to be added to Destiny. However, the loot table has been tweaked to include the addition of the new armor and ornaments.

Court of Oryx (Guide) – Tier 3: Kagoor

This is one of the more challenging boss fights in Court of Oryx simply because there’s a lot going on between dealing with multiple minions, including Ogres, and attempting to gain buffs.

Kagoor is immune to damage until the Servite Ogre is defeated. This Ogre has loads of health and other Ogres to help it, along with Devoured Shadows and Maleficent Eyes. Destroying the Eyes gives a buff called Ogre’s Fury that stacks up to three times and increases the damage done to Ogres.

Players will need to use the rocks and pillars to avoid the Servite Ogre’s attacks and bring it down. Once the Servite is dead, attack Kagoor quickly with heavy weapons and super abilities to destroy the Wizard.
