Once you’re through the story campaign of Destiny 2‘s new expansion, Shadowkeep, you’re likely going to start working to increase your character’s Power level so you can take on the game’s greatest challenges, like the Garden of Salvation raid. To do that, you need gear that’s designated “Powerful,” which will advance your overall Power level beyond the soft cap of 900. A variety of weekly activities provide Powerful drops–but while some are straightforward, like completing Nightfall Strikes, others are less clear.
Here’s a quick guide to everything new in the first weekly reset for Shadowkeep, including a rundown of the new Nightfall Hunts and where to get what you need to complete Eris Morn’s memory.

Nightfall: The Ordeal
The Ordeal is Shadowkeep’s new version of the traditional Nightfall Strike. You can turn up its difficulty as high as Power level 980, and the tougher you make it, the more likely the mode is to drop Exotic gear as a reward. It seems that each week gets one Strike in particular for The Ordeal. This week, that Strike is Shadowkeep’s new one, The Scarlet Keep. Completing five Adept-level Nightfall runs will earn you a Powerful gear drop. Ordeal runs at a higher difficulty count more toward your progress for the Powerful.
Crucible
The Crucible also has some rotating elements each week. You can always play Control, Survival, and Rumble no matter when you log in, but the weekly rotation also offers new modes. Here’s what’s on offer this week:
- Team Scorched: 6v6 using Scorch cannons (Valor)
