Destiny 2: Nightfall Weapon This Week (July 2025)

If you’re looking to make the most of your grind this week in Destiny 2, the Nightfall weapon on rotation is the powerful Solar grenade launcher — Wild Style. Whether you’re a casual player farming for Pinnacle gear or a seasoned Guardian tackling Grandmasters, this week’s featured weapon is worth your time.

How Nightfall Weapon Rotations Work

Each week, Destiny 2’s Nightfall playlist features one specific weapon with a significantly increased drop rate, including its Adept version at Grandmaster (GM) difficulty. Nightfalls also offer Pinnacle gear, Ascendant materials, and high-stat armor depending on difficulty.

🎯 This Week’s Nightfall Weapon (July 9–15, 2025)

Featured Weapon: Wild Style – Solar Grenade Launcher

• Strike Location: Heist Battleground: Mars
• Element: Solar
• Frame: Double-Fire (fires two grenades in rapid succession)
• Drop Source: All Nightfall difficulties

• Adept Version: Grandmaster only

Why Wild Style Is Worth the Grind

The Wild Style GL is a standout in the current sandbox thanks to its high burst output, Solar synergy, and add-clearing potential. With the Double-Fire frame, each trigger fires two grenades, making it extremely efficient at mowing down waves of enemies in Solar builds.

Top Perks to Look For

PvE God Roll: Envious Assassin + Incandescent – overflow your magazine and scorch everything.

PvP Note: Not its strong suit. The blast radius and projectile speed aren’t ideal for Crucible.

Nightfall Strike: Heist Battleground: Mars

This week’s Nightfall is one of the more mechanics-heavy missions, with several Champion types, tight corridors, and high enemy density.

Active Modifiers

• Solar Threat (+25% Solar damage taken)
• Void & Strand Shields (bring multi-element coverage)
• Overload & Barrier Champions

Loadout Tips for Farming

Recommended Subclasses

• Warlock: Solar Well of Radiance (Survivability & damage)
• Hunter: Solar Blade Barrage (Boss DPS)

• Overload SMG or Scout (Try Calus Mini-Tool or Hung Jury SR4)

Recommended Weapons
