Destiny 2 Weekly Dungeon Rotation: The Ultimate Guide To Farming Exotic Loot In December 2025
The weekly dungeon rotation in Destiny 2 is the single most important activity for Guardians chasing Exotic weapons and Pinnacle Gear. As of December 22, 2025, during the height of the Episode 3: Renegades content cycle, the focus is squarely on the newest dungeon, *Equilibrium*, which offers a fresh challenge and a powerful new Exotic to chase. Understanding the rotation schedule is key to maximizing your loot, as the featured dungeon is the only one that can be endlessly farmed for all its legendary gear and is the only dungeon to grant a powerful Pinnacle reward upon completion.
Every Tuesday at the weekly reset, a different dungeon enters the spotlight, becoming the "featured" activity. This system ensures that even older content remains relevant, providing Guardians with a consistent path to increase their Power Level and acquire some of the game's most sought-after weapons and armor sets, including the coveted Dungeon Exotics like Gjallarhorn and The Navigator.
Current Featured Weekly Dungeon & The Renegades Exotic Chase (Dec 16 - Dec 23, 2025)
For the week of December 16 to December 23, 2025, the newest dungeon, Equilibrium, is the primary focus for all endgame players. As the most recently released dungeon in Episode 3: Renegades, it is the featured activity and offers the most significant rewards.
The Equilibrium Dungeon: Heirloom Exotic Crossbow
The Equilibrium dungeon, which launched earlier this month, is the premier activity for the week. This dungeon is the only one that currently awards a Pinnacle Gear drop upon completion of the final encounter, making it essential for Guardians pushing the Power Level cap.
- Featured Dungeon (Dec 16 - Dec 23): Equilibrium
- Pinnacle Reward: Granted upon completing the final boss encounter.
- Farmable Loot: All Legendary weapons and armor from *Equilibrium* are infinitely farmable this week.
- Exotic Weapon: The new Exotic Crossbow, Heirloom, is the ultimate prize from this dungeon. Securing this weapon often requires completing a specific quest line within the dungeon or a rare drop from the final boss.
The weekly reset on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, will see the featured dungeon change, and *Equilibrium* will then enter the standard rotation with the other dungeons. This brief window is your best chance to farm the new armor set and Legendary weapons like the new Pulse Rifle and Shotgun with unique perk combinations.
The Full Destiny 2 Dungeon Rotation and Exotic Loot Table
While the newest dungeon is temporarily the main focus, the rest of the dungeons rotate weekly. The featured rotating dungeon, while not offering a Pinnacle reward (that is reserved for the newest dungeon and the featured raid), is fully farmable for all its legendary loot and is the only way to repeatedly attempt to get its unique Exotic weapon.
The current rotation includes all six legacy dungeons, cycling through them weekly. This rotation is crucial for players who still need to secure their Dungeon Exotics or a perfect God Roll on a specific Legendary weapon like the Unforgiven SMG from *Duality* or the Boudica-C from *Warlord's Ruin*.
Below is a complete list of all currently available dungeons, their required expansion access (often requiring a separate Dungeon Key purchase), and the highly sought-after Exotic weapon tied to each activity.

Why the Weekly Dungeon is Essential for Power Level and God Rolls
The weekly dungeon rotation is not just a scheduling feature; it’s a core mechanic of Destiny 2’s endgame economy. The system is designed to incentivize players to revisit older content while still prioritizing the newest activities. There are three main reasons why the featured weekly dungeon should be a priority for every Guardian.
1. Pinnacle Gear Acquisition
In the current Episode system, only the newest dungeon (Equilibrium this week) and the weekly featured raid grant a Pinnacle Gear drop upon completion. Pinnacle Gear is the only type of loot that will push your Power Level above the Powerful Gear cap, making it indispensable for reaching the absolute maximum Power Level. By running the dungeon just once per character per week, you secure one of the few guaranteed Pinnacle drops available in the game.
2. Infinite Exotic and Legendary Farming
The biggest draw of the weekly rotation is the ability to farm the featured dungeon. Normally, dungeons only drop loot once per encounter per character per week. However, when a dungeon is featured in the weekly rotation, you can run it repeatedly on the same character to get new drops from every encounter. This is the only way to efficiently grind for:
- Dungeon Exotics: If you are hunting for a specific Exotic like Gjallarhorn or The Navigator, you can run the final boss encounter over and over until it drops.
- God Rolls: You can farm Legendary weapons and armor for a perfect perk combination, such as a Darkest Before Pulse Rifle from *Prophecy* with the coveted Kill Clip perk, or high-stat armor for your build.
3. Master Difficulty Challenges
Many of the newer dungeons also feature a Master Difficulty version. When a dungeon is featured, its Master version is also available, providing an even greater challenge and the opportunity to earn Artifice Armor. Artifice Armor is unique because it comes with an extra mod slot, giving dedicated build-crafters an edge in endgame activities like Grandmaster Nightfalls and Trials of Osiris. Farming the Master Difficulty of the featured dungeon is the best source for this high-value armor.
In summary, whether you are a solo player tackling the dungeon on your own or a fireteam of three looking for a powerful loot boost, keeping track of the weekly dungeon rotation is non-negotiable. With the new Equilibrium dungeon and the chase for the Heirloom Exotic underway, December 2025 is the perfect time to dive into the most rewarding activities Destiny 2 has to offer.
