The Destiny Weekly reset of Tuesday, May 30, marks 101 days until the launch of Destiny 2 . While PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players count down the days, they can also check out the latest vendor rolls. The Palindrome has landed a “god roll” once again.
On the playable content front, this week’s Nightfall and Heroic Strikes both sport the Beserk modifier, but the latter may have the more fun positive modifiers to counteract that. Solar Burn and Brawler are both active for Destiny Guardians to tear through Strikes in no time.
Notable Vendor Armor
The good armor rolls are extremely sparse this week with only Executor Hideo and Variks offering anything with at least a 98 percent Tier 12 roll.
For those that don’t know, Tier 12 is when a Destiny Guardian’s stats can be maxed at 12 bars total. For example, five Intellect bars, five Discipline bars, and two Strength bars and similar permutations or an even 4/4/4 split across all three. Items rated at 98 to 100 percent of Tier 12 can easily max out at 12 bars.
Executor Hideo (New Monarchy)
- High Command Vest Hunter Chest Armor — 98 percent T12 (Intellect/Strength)
- Senator Shell Ghost Shell — 100 percent T12 (Intellect/Strength)
Variks (House of Judgement)
- Devil’s Mark — 98 percent T12 (Intellect/Strength)
Notable Vendor Weapons
The good weapon rolls are much more plentiful than the armor rolls this week. The Palindrome drops another “god roll” while The Wail offers a lighter version of The Fatebringer.

Court of Oryx ( Guide ) – Tier 3: Kagoor
This is one of the more challenging boss fights in Court of Oryx simply because there’s a lot going on between dealing with multiple minions, including Ogres and attempting to gain buffs.
Kagoor is immune to damage until the Servite Ogre is defeated. This Ogre has loads of health and other Ogres to help it, along with Devoured Shadows and Maleficent Eyes. Destroying the Eyes gives a buff called Ogre’s Fury that stacks up to three times and increases the damage done to Ogres.
Players will need to use the rocks and pillars to avoid the Servite Ogre’s attacks and bring it down. Once the Servite is dead, attack Kagoor quickly with heavy weapons and super abilities to destroy the Wizard.
