Bungie recently added Nightfall specific loot to Destiny 2. This is a feature that was long present in Destiny and removed for the sequel for some unknown reason. Now that it’s back however, let’s have a look at what’s up for grabs and how to get it.

What is Nightfall Specific Loot?

Each week, the Nightfall is a different featured strike for Guardians to participate in. Defeat it and you’ll earn a powerful engram from Commander Zavala. With the introduction of Nightfall Strike specific loot, you now also have a chance at a unique item drop that is only available from that specific strike, and only when that strike is the Nightfall. None of these items are terribly useful, but for those of you looking to collect everything in the game, these are must haves.
