Destiny 2 Update 8.2.0.2: Grandmaster Nightfalls Are Back and Players Are Excited!

At present, Destiny 2 is midway through Episode Heresy’s first act. So far, leaks suggest a fresh game mode reminiscent of D1 for Act 2, while Bungie has opted not to address a highly-regarded bug within the Destiny 2 community due to its popularity. We have a couple more weeks left in Heresy Act 1, and Bungie is soon set to release the patch notes for update 8.2.0.2, which will bring back Grandmaster Nightfalls.

On February 20th’s TWITTER blog post by Bungie, they unveiled some exciting news for us fans! Starting from next Tuesday, we can embark on our quest to earn the prestigious Conqueror title in the newly introduced Grandmaster Nightfalls.

Bungie has additionally verified that the highlighted Nightfall will be ‘Hypernet Current’, which comes with a ‘Haste’ modifier. To clarify, they haven’t implemented a Grandmaster node just yet, but it will arrive in a couple of weeks.
