Destiny 2 Season Of The Splicer: Seasonal Challenges Guide (Week 10)

The Season of the Splicer has officially arrived in Destiny 2 (although the game is down for emergency maintenance), bringing with it a new slate of Seasonal Challenges. First introduced in the game's last season, these challenges replace weekly bounties for Bright Dust and other rewards, giving you objectives to meet throughout the season. What's nice about Seasonal Challenges, however, is that they persist all the way through the Season of the Splicer. While new challenges are released each week, you'll have until the end of the season to complete them all--and earn big rewards of Bright Dust and experience points for your trouble.

Here's a rundown of how the Seasonal Challenge system works and what challenges you'll face each week throughout the season's run. The Season of the Splicer is set to end on August 24.

How Seasonal Challenges Work

For most of its run, Destiny 2's various activities vendors--Zavala, Shaxx, and the Drifter--carried weekly bounties that incentivized playing all three activities each week. Those bounties handed out Bright Dust if you participated in them, but if you didn't, you missed out on earning Destiny 2's premium in-game currency. Seasonal Challenges fix that; they're challenges that are dolled out weekly, but which you can complete any time during the season.

You'll find Seasonal Challenges on the Quests tab in the Director. Each week, a new slate of challenges is released, so you can pop in and see what their requirements are as you go. Completing challenges is a great way to earn experience points and power up your Seasonal Artifact, allowing you to raise your character's level over the gear Power cap for the season. Many of the challenges also reward you with consumables and Bright Dust, which you can then spend in the Eververse Store on various cosmetic items.
