So today is apparantly National Coffee Day. That's a good thing because you're going to need all that caffeine to get through all the new weekly challenges that await after today's reset in Destiny. As always, each Tuesday in Destiny the Nightfall and Prison of Elders Arenas are reset with new challenges. As a reminder, Heroic Strikes have been removed in Year Two, and in their place is the Vanguard Heroic Playlist. This requires your Guardian to be level 40 with a recommended light level of 280.
