When did Nightfall Require Forsaken

[爪ㄖㄖ丂卄乇ㄚ]

1 literal day ago, Nightfall Strikes were free for anyone to play, as long as they were power level 1750, I met that criteria. I log on today to try and play some Nightfall and what do you know, I need Forsaken to play it.

What idiot decided that Nightfall and Grandmaster Nightfall should be locked behind paid DLC's?

It's been like that since D1 last I checked. If you don't have the DLC, you don't get the nightfall. At least Bungie lets you play any strike in the strike playlist regardless of DLC licenses.

For this season specifically, only 2 of the Nightfalls should be DLC restricted. That's the Corrupted (Forsaken) and Lightblade (Witch Queen). Not entirely sure about Psiops: Moon, but it should be available to everyone.

All the DLC strikes are locked behind the respective DLCs they came out with.

"Warden of Nothing" and "The Corrupted" require Forsaken
"The Scarlet Keep" requires Shadowkeep
"The Glassway" requires Beyond Light
"The Lightblade" and "Birthplace of the Vile" require Witch Queen
"Hypernet Current" requires Lightfall.

Not sure if Proving Grounds also requires a DLC, since that released during a season. Or the Battlegrounds, for that matter.

But I'm trying to get an answer for why Nightfall is not free anymore. I said that "1 literal day ago" Nightfalls, Grandmaster and regular, were both free to play. I'm still confused why they aren't anymore.

Some strikes are free to play and you can launch those if they're the week's Nightfall. Last week's Nightfall was Devil's Lair, which a strike anyone can access regardless of what DLC they have.

This week is The Corrupted, which you cannot launch unless you have the Forsaken DLC.

Each week every Tuesday at 10 AM PST, the game updates and changes up activities to freshen everything up.
Vanguard Nightfalls rotate around with this weekly reset, last week was the Devil's Lair Nightfall which is free for all players, and now this week it is The Corrupted Nightfall which was a part of the Forsaken DLC

Thanks, that makes more sense.
