Destiny 2 Weekly Checklist (2026): What's Actually Worth Doing

Updated 2026-09-19 · 7 min read · by LFCarry PRO team

Every Tuesday reset asks: what is worth YOUR hours? Since Monument of Triumph (9.7.0) every raid and dungeon is launchable year-round. value now lives in the featured rotation, Adepts, and targeted farms. Old pinnacle power bumps are retired. Below: the must-do / recommended / optional list for the Monument era, plus live trackers for the current week's lineup.

Destiny 2 Weekly Checklist (2026): What's Actually Worth Doing

How weekly priorities work in the Monument of Triumph era

Update 9.7.0 (Monument of Triumph, live since June 9, 2026) flattened the old seasonal treadmill. All raids and dungeons launch from the Raids & Dungeons node year-round, and each Tuesday 2 raids + 2 dungeons are marked featured for farmable high-tier gear. Weapons climb 5 Gear Tiers; Tier 5 unlocks enhanced perks. but a tier upgrade never adds a perk the drop didn't roll with, so farming the right roll 1st is the whole game.

The old powerful / pinnacle power-point checklist is dead. Weekly value now splits into 3 buckets:

  • MUST-DO. featured content (best tier-up loot density per hour)
  • RECOMMENDED. weekend Trials Adepts (except Iron Banner weeks), Grandmaster Vanguard Alert weapons, Pantheon 2.0 featured bosses
  • OPTIONAL. evergreen exotic / pattern / title chases slotted into leftover time

This week's lineup. live trackers

The exact featured raids, dungeons, GM, Trials map, and Xur stock change every week. so instead of a snapshot that rots by Thursday, use the live trackers (each refreshes automatically after reset):

Short on evenings? Bundle the featured pair + GM via raid carries, dungeon runs, and GM clears.

See dungeon & GM optionsWhichever raids, dungeons and Grandmaster are featured this week (see the live rotation tracker above). book the pieces you still need and a PRO team runs them tonight.

Limited-time triage. what to cut 1st

If you only have 2–3 hours before reset, run this filter:

  1. Featured dungeon 1st if you need a specific exotic or Tier 5 farm. highest loot/minute.
  2. 1 featured raid clear (or the exotic boss only) on your main. 3 characters only if the exotic drop rate matters.
  3. GM once for the weekly weapon if that week's Adept-class reward is on your chase list.
  4. Trials Saturday/Sunday only if you want Adepts. skip on Iron Banner weeks.
  5. Skip non-featured raid re-clears on characters that already looted them, most planetary busywork, and any mid-roll Tier 3 grind you'd replace at Tier 5 anyway.

The era's biggest trap: grinding a mid roll to Tier 3 and realizing the perk you wanted was never on it. farm the roll 1st, then invest tiers.

If the vault is full before featured loot, do vault-cleaning this week 1st.

What you can safely skip

Non-featured raid re-clears on characters that already looted them, most planetary busywork, and any farm for a weapon you'd replace at Tier 5 anyway. If a week's featured lineup doesn't overlap with anything your builds need, bank the time: play Trials for the Adept pool, knock out a Pantheon featured boss, or finish a title you've been putting off.

Power progression was overhauled in the Edge of Fate → Monument era and no longer drives the weekly list the way old pinnacle/powerful sources did. Chase featured-rotation loot tiers and Adepts instead of incremental power points.

Doing it the fast way

Everything on this list is what LFCarry PRO teams run all day: raid carries on the featured rotation, dungeon runs, weekend Trials Flawless, and Grandmasters. Self-play = you're in the fireteam; piloted = done while you're at work. Either way the weekly checklist stops being a 2nd job.
