The December 19 Destiny 2 weekly reset brings The Dawning celebration to the Tower. There’s lots to do for this event, so make sure to check it out.  This week’s Flashpoint is on Titan, bringing players back to the storm wracked Arcology for yet another luminous engram. Don’t forget to purchase Cayde’s treasure maps leading to the chests in this area too. The Nightfall has the torrent modifier, so it should be a fun one this week.
