Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph Guide - Grandmaster Nightfall List and All the Details

Grandmaster Nightfall is finally live in the Season of the Seraph and we have laid out all you need to know for each week so you can better prepare yourselves in taking on one of the hardest endgame activities found in Destiny 2.

For those unfamiliar with Grandmaster Nightfall Strikes, this is the hardest mode you’ll ever encounter in the Vanguard Playlist.

Why is it so difficult? For starters, you’ll be going through a Strike at higher Power Level, usually higher than the current season’s cap. For Season of the Seraph, Grandmaster Nightfalls is set at Power Level 1605, and you’ll need a Guardian at least at Power Level 1595 to even have the game mode available to you.

Then, you have a series of modifiers that alter an encounter to be difficult, Champions shields, your equipment locked, and that if your Fireteam is whipped out once, you are brought back to orbit, forcing you to do the Strike all the way to the start. Matchmaking is also turned off, so tackle these Strikes with Guardians you are familiar with.

Each week, the Grandmaster Nightfall Playlist will feature one strike, and for Season of the Seraph, here is the list of Strikes scheduled for the rest of the season, the featured weapon reward for completing one, and what you’ll be facing.
