Destiny 2 Season Of Plunder: Seasonal Challenges Guide Week 10

Here's how challenges work and what's asked of you during Destiny 2's Season 18.

3 Comments

It's the tenth week of Season of Plunder in Destiny 2, and if you've hopped into this pirate adventure right from the start, then you have one more set of seasonal objectives to chase down. This week is modest with those goals, as you'll be cleaning house to get your last pieces of Repute for the Star Chart.

Equip an Arc or Stasis subclass, load up some Ketchcrash rounds, and level up a shaped seasonal weapon to knock out three tasks that'll reward you with the final pieces of Repute. Once you're done there, head on down to the EDZ and earn yourself some Bright Dust by smashing through activities in that patrol zone.

If you're up for a challenge, you can tackle a Legendary Lost Sector and maybe even earn yourself a new Exotic like Fallen Sunstar or Point-Contact Cannon Braces depending on the gear rotations this week.

That steady flow of experience will help fill up your season pass sooner so that you can grab even more loot in the process to outfit your Guardian with in Season of Plunder. You can also tackle seasonal challenges at your own pace, as they'll only expire once the season concludes in December. If you decide to take a break from Destiny 2 for a week or two, you can return and complete multiple challenges at the same time.

For more on Destiny 2, check out what's new in this year's Festival of the Lost event, how weapons are being fine-tuned in a mid-season patch, and say goodbye to destination materials next season.

How Do Seasonal Challenges Work?

Seasonal Challenges can be accessed from the Quests tab in your main menu, which is where you'll find tasks that revolve around eliminating certain enemies with a specific element, taking part in one of the game's new activities, or completing a Raid. Each challenge can be completed once per account, and each week will usually add around 10 new challenges which will be active for the duration of the season.

Completing Season of Plunder's challenges will fulfill the requirements for the seasonal challenge, which in turn will net you a large Bright Dust reward that can be spent in the Eververse store on select cosmetics, emotes, and items.
