NOTE: With the new season starting, we’ll update information as data is collected. Please allow a couple of weeks to determine the rotation for the daily Lost Sector and the Nightfall with its associated weapon. Learning the Nightfall rotation will take a while longer than Lost Sectors since that changes daily, while the Nightfall rotation changes weekly. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The post below is being updated in some sections.
