Do I Need the DLC to get The Prestige Trophy?

[galdionthewise]

I noticed that the Nightfall Grandmaster strike says it requires me to buy the latest expansion or DLC. Is there still a free way to play Grandmaster Nightfall without the expansion?

No, you don’t need the DLC. The current Nightfall for this week does require the DLC, but that’s an exception.

The Nightfall strike will rotate, some weeks it might be a DLC strike other weeks it will not. I will say that buying the latest DLC does give you access to more pinnacle drops and as such will make it easier to hit the power level requirement but it can be done without it. In order to do the GM Nightfall you will need to get to power level 1575 before the end of the season (maybe 75 days left, I'm not exactly sure). The GM Nighfalls don't open until the 5th April.

Got it. Thanks for the info.
