If you run too far or skip areas in Nightfalls you can make champions despawn. If you make champions despawn it counts as not killing them and therefore you cannot get platinum. If you dont get platinum you do not get ANY nightfall rewards. No weapon, no cores, no prisms, no shards, NOTHING.
PLEASE STOP!!!!!
We are not playing these Nightfalls for the end of strike chest for 3 legendary shards. We are doing them for the WEAPONS.
The solstice even forced us to complete 10 nightfall strikes to get the kindling, blame Bungie because I’m not taking my time with that, now I find that nightfall to be really boring.
