Grandmaster Nightfalls have several requirements that players must meet in order to participate. Players need to have a light level of 1345 to enter, with a recommended light level of 1370 to participate. The second hurdle is the lack of matchmaking. Players must create their own fireteam prior to entering. Once those prerequisites have been met, it’s simply a matter of having the correct loadout to handle the enemies inside.

When it comes to loadout, Hunters should be running bottom tree void with Omnioculus or Stasis with Aeon Swift, Titans want bottom tree solar, and Warlocks will want Well of Radiance with Phoenix Protocol. For weapons, it is recommended to use Witherhoard, Eriana’s Vow, Le Monarque, Threaded Needle, and a sniper for one player. The recommended mods are Protective Light, Taking Charge, and Particle Deconstruction.

Due to the difficulty and lack of matchmaking, there are many players that don’t attempt Grandmaster Nightfalls in Destiny 2. Having a comprehensive guide like this can help any player not only prepare for the Nightfall in terms of loadout but also gives them a much better idea of what to expect and how to handle it. All that’s left is to find a fireteam through a clan or the LFG tool. Braving a Grandmaster Nightfall and coming out victorious on the other side is one of the more satisfying experiences Destiny 2 has to offer.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to preparing for difficult encounters such as these. Some would argue that it’s best to experience the Nightfall at its purest by going in blind and figuring it out as you go. But, there are many others who simply want to get the Nightfall done and expect their fireteam to have done their necessary homework and come completely prepared. The experience depends on the players themselves, but either way, it doesn’t hurt to have a guide like this to fall back to.

Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
